I don't know what was funnier... seeing Apollo getting murdered in the ring or thinking about why the f**k nobody in the goddamn arena stopped the fight. No refs?

Rocky vs. Mr. T. Definitely a studio idea, and definitely the worst of the bunch.

Stallone saw him on TV winning "The World's Toughest Bouncer" competition - and the rest is history.

Definitely "Other".
Rocky IV, but:
Apollo Creed vs. Ivan Drago
That setup was okay, but the fight was as stupid as could be (although the movie really wouldn't have worked at at without it).
