Creed's Heavyweight Problem Ignores What Made Every Rocky Fight Great
The casting of Jonathan Majors as the antagonist in Creed III has plenty of potential, but also raises a potential issue with the upcoming film that contrasts with the best parts of the original Rocky. Both Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed and Majors' antagonist have similar frames, and would be more likely to appear as light heavyweights or an even lighter weight class in professional boxing.
