The original Rocky is one of the best movies ever made. The others (save the movie that never happened, V) pale in comparison, and like you said are just entertainment.
Because OG Rocky is a love story.
The others are just boxing movies.
People shite on Rocky II as boring but that movie is way more in line with the intent of Rocky than latter ones.
It's about Adrian and Rocky and Rocky trying to be respectable and make a life for himself.

Well, I agree that Rocky II is more about love than anything else.
But, Rocky and Rocky IV are about the struggle of life - working towards a goal, win or lose, and doing all the hard things it takes to get you there.
To a degree, Rocky Balboa returned to these themes, with some of the best moments of the series.
Rocky III and V (the odd numbered curse - at least after the original) were bad movies - III the good kind of bad and V the bad kind of bad (cringeworthy) and, in the end, they are essentially boxing movies.
But, Rocky, II, IV and "VI" (RB) are films using boxing to speak about life. Rocky and Rocky IV are arguably 2 of the greatest sports films of all time - and probably the greatest sports films not directly based on real life events, IMHO.
