The biggest question in boxing history

I don't think it's a question of Drago being too green for Rocky, I think it's more of a question of whether or not both Creed and Balboa were highly overrated.
I mean, Creed died in the ring from the beating he took, from a guy with a 0-0-0 professional record. And Balboa went life and death with the very same guy when he had a 1-0-0 record.
True greats don't get
by n00bs to the sport.

You act like its the first time Drago ever laced them up. At that point in time the USSR amateur boxing program made Professional Prize Fighting look like the WNBA. He was breed for boxing, coached and conditioned (not without controversy) by the best the USSR had to offer, to say he was a NOOB is totally is misleading. I'm sure if it wasn't for Rocky putting an end to his career, we would be calling each other Comrad right now. It was a pivotal moment in ending the cold war.I don't think it's a question of Drago being too green for Rocky, I think it's more of a question of whether or not both Creed and Balboa were highly overrated.

professional and amateur are a different sport. different rules, different judging.You act like its the first time Drago ever laced them up.

drago had a record of 0-1 by ko in his professional career.

Prime Creed couldn't beat a one handed Tomato Can version of Rocky. He would have overlooked Drago and spent the first few rounds "clowning" and get KO'd again.Comment

creed was still very close to prime during the first balboa fight but was on his way down.
if you remember, Creed Promotions were looking at names of random bums from a list and thought "Italian Stallion" sounded cool.
therefore, he didn't do any serious preparation whatsoever and focused on the promotion but still managed to beat Balboa
Creed= GOAT
Balboa= Bum
Drago= hypejob bum who never won in his professional careerComment
