    just for a bit of fun. All the real life pro boxers that have appeared as characters in the 6 Rocky movies plus the more recent spinoff, Creed. But you can't include Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran and Mike Tyson who had small cameos. To make it a bit more interesting, these are the names of the characters that those real life boxers played in the movies.

    Ricky Conlan
    Danny Wheeler
    Leo Sporino
    Tommy Gunn
    Union Cane
    Mason Dixon.

    So the boxers that played those characters, who would you say had the most successful and accomplished careers in real life?
