Another Rocky Thread!

[Shamrock]

I agree clearly Drago was the best by far, he knocks all the others out. I always thought it was highly dubios Rocky managed to beat Drago, I don't know if he was ever tested but something was not right about that.

Creed easily gets rid of Gunn and I personally think he'd do to Clubber Lang what Rocky did before Lang turned dirty. If Balboa could completely outbox Lang then Creed would have played with him.

I agree Dixon gets destroyed inside 2 rounds by Lang, Creed, Drago and Gunn imo.

In fact I think they may all have got him out of there in the first round.

Drago was untested in the pro ranks having only fought a past his best Creed. His mental state (possibly due to his use of illegal drug enhancements) was his downfall against Rocky. When the Rock didn't stay down he started to to doubt his invincibility. When Rocky knocked him down I think he could have got to his feet but decided against it because he was mentally beaten. I wonder if the defeat to the Rock would have been the beggining of the end once the air of invincibility had been stripped from him

I don't think so becuase I really don't think any other human could get past the first 3 or 4 rounds with him to test his heart.

Also his punching power was like five times greater than a normal heavyweight pro, he was a killer in the ring, literally.

I always maintain there was something dodgy about that fight. Not saying Rocky is a drug's cheat but something didn't seem right to me.

Maybe political involvement as it was a big cold war battle and Drago did seem to quit in the end. Was he paid off handsomely by the American feds to take a dive so America could win the cold war battle? I dunno, just something not right about it all imo.

His punching was five times greater but that was measured on a static machine not on a moving target that was punching back. If power was the only factor to being the best most dominant fighter then Frazier and Foreman beat Ali 10 out of 10 ?
