Rocky Balboa Top 10 HW Of All time!?

Drago had only had one fight when Rocky fought him, he was brutally kod by Lang, Gunn dosnt count cause it wasnt in the ring, Dixon was an exhibition, he wouldnt even make the top 50

 

His first fight with Creed was a loss, not a draw, although many pundits think Rocky was robbed. The fight with Gunn was not an official fight, only a short street brawl. At that age, Rocky was still strong, but would not have had the stamina to go 12 rounds with a young champion like Gunn.

The few wins you listed are good but not good enough to compare to Rocky Marciano, Joe louis, Muhammad Ali and most other ATGs.

 

Didn't you watch Rocky III? All of Rocky's opponents as champ were cherry picked. It was only until Clubber Lang said he wanted to **** Adrian that Rocky chose to fight someone with a heartbeat. And we all saw what happened there. He got KTFO in 3!

Rocky gets credit for avenging his loss, but did Lang really have the same motivation after having already won the title after all those years of being shut out? Doubt it. Clubber Lang also never had a trainer, so he was quite raw as a fighter and disappeared from boxing after the rematch.

Apollo Creed was a good fighter, but was never as great as what he was hyped up to be. This guy, as the heavyweight champion of the world, cherry picked Balboa, with his 20+ losses, out of list club fighters to defend his title against and lost to him. Creed only had one more fight after that where his opponent literally killed him, albeit he came back from retirement and was past his prime.

And Drago was nothing more than a heavyweight Jeff Lacy on roids. His best win was the killing of the pensioner Apollo Creed. He was knocked out by an old and brain damaged Rocky and also disappeared from boxing. That win rates about the same as DLH's win over Vargas.

So those wins make him top 10 now? I swear Balboa has become so overrated.

 

apollo creed had 46 wins, all by KO going into the 1st fight with Rocky, and was easilly on track to be the greatest of all time, till rocky eventually beat him.

Clubber lang was 32-0 all by KO

Ivan drago went 100-0 as an amateur, and was 30-0 as a pro all by KO.
Rocky came out of retirement to fight him, so easilly goes down as one of the greatest.

He also went to war with Antonio Tarver when in his 50's, people must have forgot.

 

Rocky was a master at working the body. He was truly devastating in an art that has been dying out.

 

I love you. (no homo)

 

Rocky was Drago's second pro fight.

Drago's first fight was simply an exhibition against Creed. Not sure about the Balboa fight since it wasn't even a title fight either.
