Creed was 7 years retired and shot to shît. Drago cherry picked him in order to raise his profile before a potential bout with Balboa. Prime Ali would be too skilled for inexperienced Drago.
I've always felt Drago has gotten a bad rep. If you saw how much crap Apollo Creed talked and how much showboating he did, even up to the first ring bell....he deserved that ass beating.
Ivan Drago was like a HW version of GGG. Let's just say a HW like that existed. Drago vs. Ali would be insane, and I'd favor Ali, but wouldn't be surprised if Drago got a UD on Ali.
