Geocache Description:




Apollo Creed was a fictional character from the Rocky films. He was played by Carl Weathers. He is a tough but agile African-American boxer, who is, as the series begins, the undisputed heavyweight world champion. The character was inspired by the real-life champion Muhammad Ali, having what one author remarked as the same "brash, vocal, [and] theatrical" personality. Protagonist Rocky Balboa, Creed's rival in Rocky and Rocky II, faces underdog odds (five-to-one in Rocky II) and views Creed with respect, pointedly refusing the prodding of a reporter to "trash talk" against Creed by laconically remarking, "He's great."

In Rocky, Creed essentially cleans out his division of serious challengers and magnanimously decides to fight journeyman Balboa for the fan spectacle. In the film and its sequel, Balboa and Creed find themselves basically evenly matched in the ring, ending up friends by the third movie. Creed had multiple nicknames, including "The Master of Disaster", "The King of Sting", "The Dancing Destroyer", "The Prince of Punch", and "The Count of Monte Fisto"

These caches are in order from what I consider to be Rocky's toughest opponents in order from easiest to toughest. This is up for debate in the logs.
