And for the success of post number 14 above, i would like to thank my trainer, and the man that made it possible- MccccccGraaiiiiinn! You see McGrain, i aint no Tommy Gunn, i remember my roots! Hahaha, how bored is the Classis right now!
The movies are called 'Rocky', not 'Apollo', for a reason! Balboa beats them all at his best, because the man could get up from 47 knockdowns and score a knockout. Creed was at his best in the second Balboa fight, he totally dominated the fight and looked brilliant... but he still couldn't get the W.
Agreed, but he did go 1 and 1 with Rocky. And lets be honest, the first fight shouldnt have been a SD, that was a landslide in terms of rounds won for Apollo!
I totally agree that Creed was the best of them and he knew what would be needed to beat Lang. If I have to rank them in their prime it would be. 1. Apollo Creed 2. Rocky Balboa (Trained by Creed) 3. Clubber Lang 4. Ivan Drago ( to stiff and boring) 5. Tommy Gunn 6. Mason (Can´t remember his name) I love these movies and Rocky III is the best of them in my opinion. The fight I wanted to see: Creed - Lang. That would be Ali - Frazier 4, All the best The Predator
Clubber Lang was by far the best of the lot head to head. Balboa was a limited fighter with good skills. He defeated Creed by an unusual chance, then hid behind his title. Lang exposed him. He won the rematch against an unfocused Lang, by luck, but was obviously a physical wreck after that. Why is it obvious that he was a wreck? In his next fight he went up against a Soviet amateur with no profesional experience. He was battered from pillar to post and won by a late rally. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that he retired to avoid further punishment. There was a farce with Mason Dixon who carried him.
I've always thought Lang would murder both Creed and Drago. Gunn is just a slower version of Lang and would die. Union Kane gets knocked out in the first round, Dixon in two.
It's because he put on one of the worst and one of the best performances in the film series, in his only two fights. He demolished Rocky like no one ever did, absolutely shattered his chin like it was nothing, kept him down for a ten count and beat him more convincingly than anyone ever did in the first fight, but he he fought like a ******, gassed out and got outclassed in his very next fight. It's clear he punches the hardest out of anyone in the film series, but he also has shameful stamina and no plan B if he can't knock his guy out.
are u guys fools? did u see rocky in rocky IV? he was absolutley AT HIS PEAK then...he trained harder than ever before.....we have NEVER EVER seen balboa in such great chizzled shape....pain didnt bother him....drago hit 2150 PSI, MUCH MUCH heavier punch than clubber lang or anyone else. rocky was simply so ****IN DETERMINED nothing could stop him. drago killed appolo creed who could still move, the same result would have happened prime for prime..... 1. rocky 2. drago- he would be # 1 if not for the freakish balboa Kayo 3a. Lang 3b. Creed "you thought I was tough? this chump will kill you!"- Creed on Lang
