Rocky vs Holmes

Rocky lost to Apollo and Lang, he is far from unbeatable.

Also, Rocky showed his street fighting prowess against a younger and faster Tommy Gunn.

Certainly a younger...but faster? Not really. They were about the same with Rocky possibly being faster.

He's certainly able to keep himself from getting knocked out, sure. In that aspect, he's superhuman. But that in no way addresses pretty much everything Holmes does to the body.

lol

This wasn't about Rocky, ever. This was only about "to gimp Holmes, or not to gimp."

Right, cause that's exactly what Holmes did, in the movie. 😐

Holmes isn't gimped, never was, he was allowed to do whatever he showed in the film. Making Rocky behave to blows in a 'realistic' manner is a gimp to Rocky though.

Rocky's head and ribs are as someone said "like lead and steel". You do have a point as to what Holmes did to other parts though, I didn't factor that.

Okay, not "every" weak-spot on the body, but Holmes' style did take advantage of them. Eardrum, small of the rib, side of the knee etc.

I think he said "steel."

How about we agree that Drago compared Rocky to some form of metal, that is undeniably lethal if injected, injested, or conked over the head with enough time??

Lead.

We're both wrong, but I was closer, so ha.

This is the quote: "He is not human, he is like a piece of iron."

Same shit.

Steel>>>Iron>>>Lead

Not the same. 😱

No, steel is iron with carbon in it. Robtard is really close, actually. The difference between Steel and Iron? About .5-2% of carbon content.

Whatever, Rocky has a strong chin 🙄

Rocky goes down faster than a crack ho.

Kind of what I was thinking.

Their is no need for the silly 2 scenario thing. Unless some one is trying to invent a way for Holmes to win. That said Holmes can beat on Rocky 'til his hands break and he's exhausted at which Balboa dusts himself off and KO's Sherlock in a flurry of haymakers.

Rocky has had his share of bare knuckle slugfest (Rocky 5),"realistic" or not Holmes ain't knocking out Rocky. Rocky tanked multiple bare-fisted shots from a boxing heavyweight (>200lbs). Holmes, try as he might goes down hard once rocky tags him with a ham-fisted blow. Movies feats are movie feats.

Ham fisted? haermm
