Things I Hate: Mason Dixon (Rocky Movie Series)

Antonio Tarver as Mason Dixon Rocky Balboa 2006 film

Mason “The Line” Dixon was my least favorite villain in the whole Rocky series, though he isn’t much of a bad guy, just an antagonist.

He was a bit vain and prideful as the whole fight against Rocky Balboa started because a computer simulation predicted that Rocky would have beaten him in his prime.

Which causes Rocky to come out of retirement (completely ignoring his health problems from Rocky V) and the Italian Stallion actually manages to have a stalemate with him.

So like the original Apollo Creed fight, Mason Dixon is declared the champion through a point system. Which kind of proves the point of Rocky beating him in his prime. The thing about Mason Dixon is he just didn’t really have much of a personality after all these years. I’ve kind of forgotten most of his plot.
