*POV: you are Apollo Creed's foremost rival. He is envious of your success, just like everyone else is. You have been a top player and many people consider you to be at the same level as Rocky, if not even better. Apollo Creed couldn't handle the fact that someone else was getting the attention he thought he deserved. He had always been arrogant, but it was getting worse. One day, you were about to fight him while you saw him in his locker room crying….

You saw he had pics of you on the wall.
