Rocky Balboa’s record (fictional) 57-22-1.

Muhammad Ali’s record (real)

56-5-0

There is some controversy online…So in the first Rocky movie, during an introduction before his fight with Creed, Rocky’s record is listed as 44-20. After that, he had two losses, to Creed and Lang. He also had thirteen more wins: Creed 2, Lang 2, and Drago, plus his 10 title defences. Doing simple math, his record should be 57-22.

During his introduction before the Dixon fight in ‘Rocky Balboa’, his record is listed as 57-23-1. I assume that the one draw he has is his fight with Thunderlips, which was an exhibition, even without particular boxing rules. I don’t understand where did he get the twenty-third loss.

Also, during the first Rocky movie the announcer says Rocky has 38 wins by KO. Since then, he has 13 more KO wins, so in the end, he has 51 wins by KO in total, but during his introduction against Dixon, it says he has 54 wins by KO. - Playful-Key988

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, actor, and theater entrepreneur. He's widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist, often called England's national poet and "The Bard of Avon". Shakespeare wrote or co-wrote around 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and other poems. His works, spanning comedy, tragedy, and history, are known for their universal themes and insight into the human condition. 

There are 884,421 total words in Shakespeare's 43 works.

  • There are 28,829 unique word forms, and 12,493 occur only once.

  • Those unique words account for 43.3% of total word forms.

    -Wikipedia

Shakespeare's writing is a foundation of literary art, rich with poetic devices and complex themes, whereas Stallone's screenplays are structured for immediate, high-impact storytelling centered on an underdog protagonist (mostly him). 

I think they would get along really well.
