Mason "The Line" Dixon played by real-life boxer Antonio Tarver, is the primary opponent of fictional boxer Rocky Balboa in the 2006 motion picture Rocky Balboa. His nickname references the historic Mason–Dixon Line. Mason Dixon was modeled after Roy Jones, Antonio Tarver's real life nemesis.

At the beginning of the movie, Mason "The Line" Dixon (29 years old) is at the height of his career at 33-0-0 with 30 KO. A Tampa, Florida, native who resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, Mason is currently the world heavyweight champion. He apparently once had a competitive career which initially gained him fame and the title; however, over the years, with the waning heavyweight division and boxing in general, he fails to capture the fans of the sport without worthwhile contenders.

This is most evident in his latest title defense, where after a quick knockout win over a nameless opponent (played by Yahya), the spectators pelt him with ice.

Dixon lives a lavish lifestyle; even his training facilities are high-tech, a stark contrast to his old gym. Well aware of his status in the eyes of boxing fans, he even steals away from company, retreating to his fleet of cars to watch video of his latest match, the comments from Jim Lampley of his status in the boxing community irritating him. He retreats to his old gym once more, and confides in his former trainer, Martin (played by Henry G. Sanders) who mentions that soon enough, he will be tested by a formidable opponent, and history will be written in that moment.
