I'd argue that Creed is the greatest anti hero in the history of cinema. There is no Rocky II if Carl Weathers was not so great as Creed in I.

Not everyone could have played the role like he did

Great character arc as well through the 4 movies he was in, then even inspired the movies with Michael B Jordan.

The Creed character could have very easily been hated, rather than beloved, in the hands of a different actor.

Not gonna lie, I thought he was the Reading Rainbow guy too. He wasn't Thats Billy Dee Williams.

@Mighty Joe Young was I experiencing a Mandela effect?

The brilliance of the character was he wasn’t the ‘villain’ or evil in any way. He was the heavyweight champion who Rocky had to get through. Respect given to each character by the other.
