re: Rocky's greatest foe?

This is what pisses me off about the entire saga.
In I & II, Rocky is basically all heart. No real boxing skills. Doesn't block, doesn't move, just puts his head down and comes at you.
Then in Rocky III, Apollo teaches him how to fricking move around the ring and duck punches. He looked the absolute best he ever was in that 1st round of the 2nd fight against Clubber. He looked like a polished boxing champ instead of a damn gorilla.
And then when he fights Drago, he throws all that valuable training out the window and goes back to his old tendencies.
I don't know why, but that pisses me off.

Even Clubber knew this:

This is why the answer is Clubber. Rocky had to completely change his style to overcome and defeat Lang.
He beat Drago fighting his old style and past his prime. Drago was a chump
