The first one, sure he comes up from nothing as the underdog challenger to go the distance.... classic story

But the second one has him trying to move on and do other things only to realize he's not good at anything else and not smart enough for anything but fighting and that "moves me" for some reason. Apollo's story is good too... all around just a very believable and good continuation from the base that the first movie made.

Also, the second movie doesn't have the super uncomfortable scene where Rocky won't let Adrian out of his apartment.
