hand picked?? I am sure another someone like Clubber Lang would have approached Rocky or other promoters of better fighters wanting a shot at the belt.

of better fighters wanting a shot at the belt.

Rocky could beat "better" fighters, it was Clubber in particular that scared Mickey. Turns out Mickey was right about Clubber.

Stallone himself also wrote the script, so Rocky obviously had all his opponents hand picked by him

But that would mean he hand picked Apollo in the first two movies. Why would Stallone ever subject himself to that level of abuse? That doesn’t make sense.

It happens a lot in boxing. Many champs have a long undefeated streak because they were picky about their opponents.
