* Mickey's speech to get Rocky hyped up for training against Apollo just might be his best in a series full of hype speeches. He manages to, in short order, insult Rocky's looks, call him out for being whiny, and fill him with confidence. All at once!
--> '''Mickey''': Now, to pull this miracle off, you gotta change ''everything.'' [[IAmNotLeftHanded You gotta learn to be a right-handed fighter!]] Now, this'll confuse Apollo, and it'll [[GameBreakingInjury protect that bad eye.]]
--> '''Rocky''': No, I can't learn how to fight right-handed no more-
--> '''Mickey''': What's ''CAN'T?'' ''There ain't no can'ts!'' There's no can'ts! Now, he will beat you uglier [[StealthInsult than ya are now.]] Now listen: you'll ''start'' fightin' right-handed, and then you'll change suddenly! It'll make history. [[{{Joisey}} But foist]], [[LightningBruiser we gotta get speed.]] Demon speed. Speed's what we need. We need...''greasy'' ''FAST'' '''''SPEED!!'''''

* Rocky winning the championship the first time. He was a bum from the streets who went the distance with the champ but lost. The fight left him with a crippling injury and his resulting refusals to a rematch left him branded a coward. In order to protect his bad eye he had to unlearn everything he knew and start over in an orthodox stance (something Muhammad Ali said is borderline impossible unless you're a young fighter, and even then it takes years). Meanwhile, the champ (who had poorly trained and underestimated Rocky the first time) pushed himself to defend his title and reputation the best he could. Despite these disadvantages and getting his face smashed to a pulp Rocky was able to knock out the champ and become the heavyweight champion of the world.
