With Creed 3 in theaters, we are ranking the Rocky and Creed movies from worst to best. Find out which boxing movie takes the top spot.
In 1975, a little-known actor named Sylvester Stallone watched boxer Chuck Wepner take the legendary Muhammad Ali to the 15th round of a heavyweight championship match. Wepner lost, but the underdog made a lasting impression on Stallone. Legend has it that Stallone went home and wrote the first draft to Rocky, which he finished three days later. One year later, Rocky became the highest-grossing film of 1976 and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Written and directed by Stallone, Rocky is 60 years old and runs an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in this film. Rocky is now a widow after the death of his wife, Adrian , who succumbed to cancer four years prior.
Meanwhile, Donnie struggles to adjust to life with his newborn daughter, who is born deaf. Donnie needs one thing and one thing only, Rocky, who reenters his life and helps Donnie regain his magic from the first film. Though predictable, Creed II is still very entertaining, with excellent fight scenes and good performances from Jordan and Stallone.

Played by Mr. T , James “Clubber” Lang is the young loudmouth who challenges Rocky for the title five years after the events of Rocky II. Rocky’s grit and dedication have taken a back seat to his rock star persona, leaving the champion vulnerable to a challenger like Clubber.
If three things define a Rocky movie, it’s music, montages, and fights. Rocky IV gives you all three in excess. Yet, it somehow works without becoming annoying. From speeding down the freeway to the tune of No Easy Way Out to training in the snow-covered mountains of Russia with Heart’s on Fire in the background, these montages will motivate you to run through a brick wall. James Brown even appears to sing Living in America during Apollo’s entrance.
