Which of Muhammad Ali's opponents interviewed for the 2009 documentary "Facing Ali" grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania and was nicknamed the "Easton Assassin"?

Apollo Creed Apollo Creed is a fictional character from the "Rocky" films, initially portrayed as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He was played by Carl Weathers. He is a tough but agile African-American boxer. The character was inspired by the real-life champion Muhammad Ali, having what one author remarked as the same "brash, vocal, [and] theatrical" personality. Protagonist Rocky Balboa, Creed's rival in "Rocky" and "Rocky II", faces underdog odds (five-to-one in "Rocky II") and views Creed with respect, pointedly refusing the prodding of a reporter to "trash talk" against Creed by laconically remarking, "He's great."
