The biggest question in boxing history

[RichCCFC]

Was Ivan Drago too green for Rocky?

[Ring Leader]

Didnt have the fundamentals to be a great all around boxer, Rocky applied pressure to the young lion and he folded like a cheap peice of paper

[DIB42]

After the Apollo win I was on the Ivan band wagon. He had a great amateur background, and looked unbeatable in his fight again Creed. Granted Creed had been inactive for a few years, and lost his last two fights (I think Rocky was robbed in the first one). I thought it was a good style Match-up for Apollo.

I don't know if he was too green in the Balboa fight, or if he just didn't follow the game-plan set by his corner.

this has been settled long ago.

drago had no professional fight. he won an exhibition match against a shot to shiiit creed.

rocky went life and death with a guy that unofficially has a record of 1-0 1 ko.

got beat up by a one-dimensional clubber lang

got his ass whooped by a prime creed

got beat by Antonio ****ing Tarver

Balboa = overrated bum of the century

[bojangles1987]

It was evened out. Balboa was way past prime at that point.

Funny how when Clubber Lang was tearing up the division everyones was on his nuts so hard, but as soon as Rocky KHTFO in the rematch he was "one-dimensional" and another bum thrown to rocky.

Creed undefeated with perfect KO record, Lang Undefeated, Drago undefeated in his own back yard.
Rocky KO'd 3 undefeated fighters in their prime.

The first Lang fight should have been rescheduled, Rocky wasn't in the right head to fight.

creed was on his way down even when balboa got to him the first time around

lang has been beating cab drivers and hot dog vendors all his career

drago is a roided up russian hypejob who was getting schooled the first rounds by a semi-retired, old, past prime creed in a ****ing exhibition match

balboa is a media hypejob who had 20+ losses against bums. not figurative bums, literal bums.

all he have is his chin.

replace balboa with a washing machine in the creed rematch, you'll get the same result.

Washing Machine via TKO

Rocky was a one-handed fighter until after the first Creed fight. With no amateur career, and took fights on short notice of course he's going to have some losses on his record, he learned on the road.

I'll give you that it wasn't the best era for heavyweights but Rocky fought the top 2 guys 4 times 2-2 (asterisk on that gift creed got in the first fight). Rocky was clearly on his way out when he fought drago and KO'd him and was 900 years old and inactive when he was robbed in the dixon fight.

I'm not saying Rocky was the GOAT but definately top 10
