Rocky: Every Final Fight Ranked Worst To Best

1. Creed Vs. Damien Anderson (Creed III)

I know it may be sacrilege to give the number one spot to a fight that doesn't feature Rocky Balboa, but the final match between Adonis Creed and his old friend Damien "Dame" Anderson (Jonathan Majors) simply has to wear the belt.

Viscerally intense and remorseless, crafted with thrilling choreography and visually stunning imagery -- including a black background that hides the audience and numbs the sound, and a cage that symbolises Creed's mental struggles -- by debut director Michael B. Jordan, the Creed/Dame bout is a remarkable achievement.

The emotion has rarely been higher, as two men separated by fate and circumstance lay it all the table to put their demons to rest in the ring, and the action seldom so vigorous. Watch this on replay, and you'll find something new to love every time. It'll be hard to top going forward.
