NO IS CLAIMING LANG CANNOT BE KNOCKED OUT. STAY ON POINT!
It is not proof that Lang lacks durability thus causing Rocky to knocked him out. Here is an example. Ali knocked Foreman out in the 8 round, however other weaker fighters went 15 rounds with Ali. Did Foreman have an durability issue or could not take hits? No. That is clearly seen from his other fights and that fact that he went the distance with another fighter a few fights later after the Ali fight.
Ali beat Foreman by using strategy and making him wear himself out. The same thing Rocky did to Lang.
I already provided the quote from Lang's manager who told him to let Rocky come to him and let Rocky wear himself out and to stop trying to take Rocky out with one punch.
Notice the word 'WEAR'. Once Lang was wore out, tired and weak, then his durability became at a level in which Rocky hits started to have an effect.
If you deny that then prove it that my statement is not true and that Rocky hits had an effect on a full strength Lang and that he did not have to tire Lang out.
