A bout between Jake LaMotta and Rocky Graziano never occurred primarily due to timing and weight class differences. LaMotta was a middleweight champion active during the 1940s, while Graziano, also a middleweight, rose to prominence in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Their careers did not overlap significantly in a way that would have facilitated a matchup, and both fighters had their own paths and rivalries during their respective boxing eras.

Rocky Balboa did not fight several notable boxers from the real world, including Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, as they were not contemporaries in the ring during his fictional career. Additionally, he never faced characters from other film franchises, such as Raging Bull's Jake LaMotta. In the context of the Rocky films, he also did not fight Apollo Creed in a rematch after their second bout, which ended in a draw.
