Ivan killed APOLLO. Apollo was totally unprepared and out of shape for his fight with Drago.
Lang's fighting style, aggressive and so strong that he KO'd Balboa (which continues to go unnoticed, for Lang was the only person to KO Balboa), would tear Drago apart.
Heres the bottom line: Lang KO'd Rocky, Drago was not able to KO Rocky, a Rocky who came out of retirement mind you.

Lang has done something no one in the series has ever done, Drago included.He KNOCKED OUT Rocky Balboa.
Wow, true.
But you were wrong when you said Rocky knocked out Drago via body shots. He kept mowing him down with those hard right hooks to the jaw, then Drago fell for the knock-out.

Not being able to KO Rocky is the bottom line, man. If one man can do it, and another cannot, what does that tell you?WTF is PIS.
Originally posted by Daveheadso Rocky was able to take a harder punch in IV? I am merely praising Lang's power, man.
Ok, look. Lang knocked out Rocky before he trained specifically for the fight. Afterwards, Rocky knocked out Lang. Drago, on the other hand, never fought Rocky before he got trained specifically for the fight. He only fought him afterwards and lost. Therefore, Drago might've been ABLE to knock out Rocky, but we'll never know. So the fact that Lang knocked out Rocky doesn't say anything. Rocky was lifting up wagonloads of rocks and people before he could beat Drago, and even then it came at great cost.
