According to wikipedia:
" Sylvester Stallone's original concept for Rocky, and the character Rocky Balboa, was inspired by his viewing of a fight between Muhammed Ali and Chuck Wepner. The idea of an underdog going the distance and putting up a fierce fight against all odds appealed to Stallone. "
Wikipedia also says that the character Apollo Creed was 'loosely' based on Muhammed Ali.

Who was Rocky?
There was the fiction character, Rocky Balboa, played in five or six films by Sylvester Stallone, who wrote the first Rocky in a desperate attempt to get into movies. There were two other Real-Life Rocky's, one was Rocky Grazzione, the other was Rocky Marcionne (spelt something like that). One of them was a boxer and was played by Paul Newman in the movie Somebody Up There Likes Me. I'm sure there's a lot more Rocky's out there somewhere.
