* [[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.

* [[Punny Name]]

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: We first see him playing basketball with some friends.
