John McClane vs Rocky Balboa: Bloody Knuckles Contest

Exactly what it says on the tin. Two titans of tanking damage, Rocky and McClane, play bloody knuckles until someone gives. Which one will reign victorious?

McClane by all endurance feats.
And given the question of who handled their older years better....

But maybe its like 7/3 to McClane here.

WTF is bloody knuckles?

From Urbandictionary,

A game when 2 people punch each others knuckles until one of them gives up. Some people play until their knuckles are bleeding like crazy.

Punching at each others knuckles.

Like a onesided fistbump on crack.

Edit: Like lestov says.

I'm inclined to give this to Balboa. McClane's got good body-damage soak like Rocky, but Rocky's fists are hardened from being a boxer.

McClane used boxing, but didnt go pro. Its also worth noting that old Boxers had tonnes of fractures even if microfractures, arthritis and other problems in their hands the more abuse they had endured in action (and in training)..

McClane is well proven as being able to endure shots with fists, gunshots, falls, impacts of varying degrees and intensities, explosions and high speed collisions with things. I'd say he has the durability covered.

Conditioning is only as good as your most recent conditioning. And Rocky has been sitting there doing nothing, since he quit after the Mason Dixon fight.

Balboa wins.

I see balboa winning.

bloody knuckles takes it completely outside the realm of boxing.

if it was a boxing match mcclane would have his head knocked off by balboa but this premise is way off from that.

McClane wins this..

A lot of Rocky's fights were set ups/fixed..

McClane was God like abilities

and this...

McClane takes the bloody knuckle contest, though Rocky would prove a great adversary.

Bullshit. Rocky took Drago's punches while McClane was beaten by a girl.

Bull.
Every Rocky movie has a training montage where Rocky is training to BOX...regardless of gloves or not.

Whereas McClane's claim is always "Being at the wrong place & wrong time." No where is it featured that McClane trains to fight, much less box. He acts on instinct which can only get you so far against a professional boxer like Rocky.

Rocky wins.

Rocky destroys the victim of female cruelty. This is a stomp of epic proportions.

don't make quanchi have to google "rocky" and pwn you all!

That doesn't take away from the amount of punishment he has proven capable of enduring. As amazing as McClanes feats are none are as impressive as going 18 rounds.

I'm not trying to take away from McClanes physical feats but I think the fact that Balboa didn't have to endure the punishment he has leads me to believe he has a higher threshold for pain.
