Line 39:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I don't sweat you!"
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Attempting to take on [[Hulk Hogan|Thunderlips]].
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Jerkass]] --> [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]
Line 56:
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]
* [[The Obi
* [[Sour Supporter]]
Line 72:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: His main reason for promoting the fight with Balboa.
* [[Red Baron]]: "The King of Sting, the Doctor of Destruction, the [[The Count of Monte Cristo|Count of Monte]] [[Just for Pun|Fisto]], the Master of Disaster, the One, the Only... Apollo Creed!"
** That last one (The Master of Disaster) deserves extra credit... the man who inspired the character's creation, Ali himself, noted that that was something he should've used in his heyday.
Line 87:
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of a young George Foreman.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Kinda. Stamina is more his weakness than an inability to take a punch, but still, he's the only one of Rocky's challengers to suffer an early KO.
* [[Good Hair, Evil Hair]]: A Mohawk.
* [[Hair
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Large Ham]]: "''I'm gonna crucify him! '''Real bad.'''''"
Line 101:
* [[Evil Foreigner]]
* {{spoiler|[[Hero Killer]]}}
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With his wife.
** Until you remember that Bridgitte Nielsen is about [[Statuesque Stunner|6 feet tall]], to give you an idea about how huge he really is.
* [[Husky Russkie]]
Line 126:
* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: At the start, he's unpopular with fans due to a string of easy, quick wins.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Despite being the current Heavyweight champion and undefeated, he didn't got any respect from the crowd. He did get it after his fight with Balboa.
** There's a bit of [[Truth in Television]] here. There have been many fighters who didn't get the respect they deserve because the guys around are nowhere near their level. Therefore, it creates the illusion that a dominant champion is fighting nothing but bums. In contrast, Muhammad Ali receives platitudes not just because of his tremendous skills, but because of the high level of the other heavyweights around, nearly all of whom Ali fought and beat.
* [[Jerkass]] [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|With A Heart Of Gold]]
