I disagree with your tactic of ignoring context in order to make your favorite character look better....IE quanning.

But not enough to cause any serious injury, unlike Drago.
The writer is Stallone and he obviously intended for Drago to be Rocky's strongest opponent. Stop pulling things out of your ass. If Sly wanted Clubber to be that impressive he wouldn't have had Rocky steamroll him in their rematch.
It's not a matter of opinion, you're simply wrong.
I'm not. Context is him needing to block and dodge Lang but not Drago. Context is him needing to utilize a completely different fighting style for Lang but using his go to tactic against Drago. These are facts
You're acting like he dodged or blocked every single hit when that's not the case. Not at all. There were 50+ clean hits in the rematch.
The clear implication was that Drago was the strongest. That's why they had him kill Creed in 2 rounds, that's why we had all those scenes with weights, the PSI, the steroids. Stallone obviously wanted Drago to be the baddest mofo Rocky ever faced.
Totally and completely false... It's was made CRYSTAL clear by the DOCTOR that it was YEARS of damage.. this was FURTHER reinforced when he see flashbacks to illustrate the damage rocky has taken and it shows ALL his fights.. Stop saying Drago caused this.. I already proved this false. Drago contributed to it.. nothing more.
No I know he didn't block them all. You make it seem like Rocky still doesn't have superhuman durability. He does. Still it's clear he needed to do something else as he could not wade thru the hits and wait for an opening like he did with Drago
It's something that appears to be clear only to you. And you're basing the whole thing on the choreography. The fact that Rocky tanked Lang's shots proves he didn't need to dodge or block, but simply chose to. And lets also not forget that Rocky was in much better shape and even more motivated when facing Drago.
He is the hardest hitting according to screen feats. When Lang KILLS a man in 2 rounds or hits for over 2000 PSI then we can argue.
It clear you just want to ignore it. He did need to as the shots he did take put him down and he clearly felt he couldn't just wade thru them
Creed is no Rocky when it comes to durability. Lang would have laid waste to him. HE never got the opportunity to show his punching power on a machine so that point is nil
