We caught a glimpse of him in today’s highlight reel, and some of you (justifiably) felt that he should have been included on this list — we’re speaking of course about Paulo César da Silva, a.k.a.

    Interviewer: [at the Drago-Creed press conference] Rocky, how do you think Apollo should fight Drago?

    Rocky: [commenting on Drago's imposing stature] Well, what I think we should do first is get Apollo a ladder.
