2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1

George Washington Duke

Contest: 2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1
TV Show/Movie Appeared: Rocky V (1990)
Actor/Actress: Richard Gant
Why you should vote:: He was the true villain in Rocky V.
Why you should not vote:: The real antagonist should be in the ring in a Rocky film.
In Rocky V, we are introduced to the first boxing promoter in the series in George Washington Duke, who with out the loud hair was basically a rip off of Don King. Duke manipulated the young and naïve protégé of Rocky Balboa, Tommy Gunn, and as such became the real de facto villain in the film, and fans (although they may have agreed it was by far the weakest film of the series) cheered louder when Duke got knocked out as opposed to Gunn.
