if all the fighters from the Rocky movies were real......

Rocky isn't top 20 material. He had an extremely poor record before he beat an old Creed by 1 second and then fought nothing but bums until he was beat by the one dimensional Lang. Balboa, Drago and Lang don't deserve to be top 20. how does Balboa and Lang not deserve top 20, I mean I can understand about Drago, but Balboa and Lang? Balboa was a two-heavyweight champion, and Lang won the title himslef, and scored all of his wins by KO, and so what if Rocky's record has alot losses, look at Jim Braddock, he has quite a bit, and he's one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Also, when Rocky fought Creed, Creed was not old, he was considered old in Rocky III and IV.

bump........

the best one IMO was rocky IV by far

I agree that I could put them higher, but since Drago never the heavywieght title, that's a factor, IMO, plus he only had two pro fight, one against Rocky and once against Apollo, all his other fights were amuature fights, and Lang's awful technique puts him low, cause guys like Ali and Tyson would've beaten him easily, IMO. Tyson paid 3 million dollars in step aside money just so he could avoid Clubber Lang so I think he belongs higher up on the list. George Foreman chose to retire rather than fight Apollo Creed, I think we should drop him a couple of spots. LOL.

I saw the greatest show on TV ever a while back. Vanilla Ice and Bridgette Nielson in the same program!!!!

:haha: :haha: :haha:

This thread needs some montage action sweet, thanks for posting them, the Rocky III montage was always favorite, that one always got me pumped up. this one is awesome too:

This thread needs some montage action

lol at this thread(not laughing at it but with it) :)

Rocky was a journeyman until he got that eye of the tiger. His string of victories after defeating Apollo is unpresedented. His only loss (Lang) was avenged in dramatic fashion. Kind of like Lewis's destruction of Rahman, a sweet taste of revenge. BTW Lewis would have played with Balboa all night and UD him. Lewis would have sneaked past Drago because he cut pretty easily didn't he?

Pretty good list. Something I will think about when I pull the movies out again, which should be soon.

how would they rank with real life heavyweights? this is how I see it: 1. Joe Louis 2. Muhammad Ali 3. Rocky Balboa 4. Jack Dempsey 5. Rocky Marciano 6. Apollo Creed 7. George Foreman 8. Joe Frazier 9. Sam Langford 10. Larry Holmes 11. Gene Tunney 12. Jack Johnson 13. Jim Jefferies 14. Lennox Lewis 15. Evander Holyfield 16. Mike Tyson 17. Clubber Lang 18. Ivan Drago 19. Mason Dixon 20. Tommy Gunn what does your list look like? as I said in one of your 'Rocky fanasty fight' threads, I usually don't like these kind of 'silly threads', but since Rocky is my favorite film of all time, I'll let it slide. anyway, I pretty much agree with your list.

Ivan Drago vs. Wladimir Klitschko, now that's a fight I'd like to see, lol.

I would put Ivan Drago over Clubber Lang and would put both of them higher on this list. By the way, I once heard a conversation where two people were talking about who would win in a fight between Superman and the Incredible Hulk. I thought they were geeks at the time but I guess I can't point any fingers now.

Shit creed was Rockys answer to Muhammed ALi man he had it all lol Ivan drago is either Vladimir or Vitali lol Mrt is Mike Tyson Tommy morrison is corrie sanders hehehe

Still. You would think the 3rd greatest Heavyweight of all time could beat up on bums, even training part-time. well he's got that Jim Braddock allure to him.

He was only fighting part time in the earlies part of his career and didn't have proper training. Still. You would think the 3rd greatest Heavyweight of all time could beat up on bums, even training part-time.
