The protagonist and antagonist is not determined by who you consider the more likeable character.

Also, it's Adonis, not Apollo.

In fairness, Apollo Creed is generally not the most likeable in all the Creed films. Philanderer who couldn't stop fighting and left his wife to raise his illegitimate kid. Which is why, for as amazing as the Creed films are, I hope it does end with a solid "I lived my dream. Now I am going to retire and spend time with my family" to show that the cycle has been broken.

But yeah, bog standard "the protagonist is whoever I relate to the most" stupidity.

Yeah, slip of the tongue. Well, the audience is supposed to root for the protagonist and that was not easily done in Creed 2.
