    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
    Who is Antonio Tarver?

    Creed was not prime, he was past it by then. And any respectable ref would have stopped either of the first two Creed fights with the shape Balboa's eyes were in.

    Apollo Creed= Undisputed GOAT

      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.

          professional and amateur are a different sport. different rules, different judging.

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

          next thing you'll probably say is ivan would have beaten a prime apollo creed

          damn dragotards

                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.

                    They were never tested, as far as we know Creed could have been juicing too.

                      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 career
