Apollo Creed
editWhy does Clubber Lang get his own page, but Apollo Creed's page is just a redirect to Rocky? G. McVey 23:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think possibly because of the popularity of the character himself. I'm really not sure though. —Zootm 15:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Apollo Creed is as popular a character as Clubber Lang. Creed now has his own page and with more information contributed to the character than the other Rocky opponents.
- Why does clubber get his own page? I pity the fool who questions that:P

Clubber Lang in Rocky VI
editThe Rocky VI page itself says nothing about Clubber Lang, but the Clubber Lang page says "Although Clubber Lang only played in one film, he (and Mr.T with it) gained great popularity. It has been reported that Mr. T will reprise the Clubber Lang role in the next Rocky movie (Rocky Balboa) scheduled for release in 2006.".
It seems to just be a rumor...

- Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T) does not make an appearance in the theatrical release of "Rocky Balboa" but he is shown briefly in flash back twice. Once in the pre-fight montage of Rocky victories before the Mason Dixon match and second in a magazine cover photo (with Rocky) on the wall in Rocky's restaurant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fernando linn (talk • contribs) 21:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
James Lang?
editWhen is it ever mentioned in the film his name is James? Have I missed something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.29.214.237 (talk) 21:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
- No, it wasnt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.46.89 (talk) 03:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Is this a rogue edit? 'James' is never mentioned during the film. So what is there to substantiate this edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.246.164 (talk) 15:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
72-1?
editWhen exactly in the Rocky series do we learn about Clubber's undefeated streak after his loss to Balboa (and apparently wins the title a second time)? Or does he somehow fight 39 people between his first and second bout with Balboa?--Whoabro 07:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Clubber Lang winning the title a 2nd time
editWhen was this mentioned? Kuvopolis 12:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- I made the mistake of putting loose fan-boy information when I first started using Wikepedia so I apologize for that. Now I understand the format of this system and will respect it to the best of my ability. I have since stopped putting fan page information I have read and only use concrete information that is stated directly from the films as sources for my facts. That being said...I do not recall Clubber lang having all his wins by knockout as someone has listed under his record. I thought Lang had two non-ko wins on his record. I will rewatch the film and see if they announce his knock out total before the Balboa match. I urge the fans of any particular Rocky character not to "beef" up the records and knockout totals of their favorite fictional boxer. Please stick strictly to the information given in the films. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.161.52 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Mike Tyson
editIt is too bad that this movie came out too early, or we would all know that this character was based off of Mike Tyson's persona, except for Lang's excessive mouth running which is definitely Muhammed Al's. 68.249.126.218 (talk) 19:41, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- There's only one mouth in boxing that comes close to Clubber Lang... Anthony Mundine ;) Paul Roberton (talk) 10:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Clubber is most likely based most on Sonny Liston and his persona before being defeated by Ali...also the way he knocks out Rocky, totally steamrolling him is similar to what Liston did to Floyd Patterson, only Liston did his KO in one not two. Of course Lang does talk more then Liston did..but its really not like Ali...because Ali never really came off like a thug.
Redirects
editIt makes no sense to redirect this. I can find a number of mentions in the mainstream press, not to mention a multitude of coverage in books. Google is your friend. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 00:46, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
