Rocky: I've had ten title defenses.
Mickey: That was easy. They was handpicked.
Rocky: You mean they was setups?
Mickey: No, they was good fighters. But they wasn't killers. This guy'll knock you to tomorrow. (Emphasis added.)

Not sure the ND opponents in question were "good fighters."

(Note: Verb tense usage intentional. It's been awhile since I saw Rocky III, but I believe that's how they spoke in that scene.)
