Ignoring? We covered that on the first page of this thread; 6th post. Mickey broke George's jaw; why George's mouth was wired shut.Why are you ignoring that we covered this already?
Why are you ignoring that Rocky's jaw is above and beyond George's?
Why are you ignoring the laundry list of beatings Rocky has survived?
Why are you ignoring the superiority of Rocky's opponents over Mickey's opponents?
Try again.

Incorrect.
<--- no neck support, no neck injury.
George would have likely been in a full upper body cast with a broken neck. He certainly wouldn't have been out of the hospital and walking a day or two later.
No need try again, we covered it on the first page.

But just using the word "champion" doesn't automatically make them better than the boxers in Snatch. I mean, Mikey was a bareknuckle champion, meaning that he had to win his championship from a former champion, meaning that he had to defend his title against multiple first contenders.
He could have won the title and lost it the very next fight. It is never stated how long or how many defences he had or how long it's been since he's been champ iirc

Rocky wins. Mickey was dropped, cut, and almost KO'd in his last fight against someone far inferior to Balboa. Mickey has superior punching power but so did Drago. Rocky's durability is too great and he'll KO the Pikey.
Almost KO'd because he wasn't fighting back. When has Rocky ever stood there and let some guy beat up on him? Rocky got beat up... even when he was trying to defend himself. Mickey only got cut and beat up because he was told to throw the fight.
On that subject, it's not as if Rocky wasn't close to getting KO'd as well before.

Rocky 4. He let Drago pound on him until he was spent. Fight ended on the 15th round.
To a lesser extent Rocky 3, he let Lang tire himself out, but Rocky was dodging heavily instead of taking blows, but he did take several.

Well playing on the defensive like he did (even if did it lousily) and allowing the opponent to tire is quite different from allowing himself to get beat up. It's a common tactic used by some boxers, especially counter punchers and those with strong stamina and chins. Purposely staying on the defensive and allowing your opponent to keep throwing punches at you is still not the same as purposely allowing yourself to get beat up.
I don't mean to downplay Rocky's damage soak, just want to prove that Mickey getting cut up and dizzy while throwing a fight shouldn't be used as a measuring stick for his damage soak in a real fight.

In R4, Rocky specifically allowed himself to get beaten up cos he knew he could take it. Remember Drago's comment in the later rounds after he spent many a round using Rocky as a bodybag? "He's not human, he is like a piece of iron." -Drago

He was fighting back he was just trying to make the fight last to ensure his people got into position iirc. That and/or he bet on himselfwinning at a certain time.
And you really can't compare Mickey getting hurt by someone pretty random to Rocky getting hurt by Drago, Lang, and Creed.
