Rocky Balboa had quite the test in Rocky III.
He had been the top dog for a number of years, knocking off every opponent in his sight. However, he had met a tough challenge in the form of Clubber Lang, played by 80’s icon and master of the mohawk, Mr. T. Lang was the hungry challenger, telling Balboa that “he doesn’t fight real men”, and spurting out the classic line to Rocky’s wife, “Hey woman.”
Clubber Lang had definitely got in Balboa’s head.
In their first confrontation, Lang’s mixture of nasty attitude, power and skill was too much for the champion to overcome, and he beat Balboa rather convincingly to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
