Clubber Lane runs the gauntlet

Have you missed Rocky 4? If Lang faced that Rocky he'd lose and badly, Rocky took a beating and still took Drago down, Rocky took quite a beating in 3 as well and shook it off, he wore Lang down sure but the fact is he was just letting Lang punch him and it did nothing

In four Rocky was willing to die his determination was different from any other movie.

No I don't agree that the Rocky in 4 would destroy Clubber Lang. If he traded punch for punch with Lang he would lost.

The only thing Rocky has over any of his opponents is durability.

Yes Rocky had his hands up, but the punches were still connecting, having your hands up doesn't negate a punches force.

They were connecting with his gloves not his head. That lessens the damage that was inflicted since his gloves took the brunt of the impact

I actually have been in fights before and been trained in combat, holding your hands up like Rocky did does not in fact negate 100% of the force of a punch, the fact that you think it does only proves that it's you that have never been in a fight.

Nice try, but you've been caught. I NEVER said it negates a 100% of the force of the punch if you block it. show me where I even said such a thing. On the other hand, what you said is absolutely retarded and I know for a fact you've never trained in combat sports. YOU SAID blocking doesn't negate the power of the punch. Which is 100% false and it absolutely without question takes some of the impact away from the punch landing on you. To say otherwise is bordering on the dumbest comment I've seen on this site. That's saying a lot with the likes of quan posts.

You're giving holding your hands up way more credit that it deserves. you act like just holding your hands up like Rocky would allow a normal person to tank 20+ hits from Tyson/Foreman.

No but it would allow a trained boxer to take more hits from Tyson/Foreman/Lang before being seriously injured.

Negating means to make something ineffective, holding your hands up in boxing might lower the impact but it hardly makes punches ineffective. and BTW I never said I was trained in combat sports, I said I was trained in combat...I've had several years of MA training, including that of a Navy Seal during boot-camp.

Again stop moving the goalposts you've been caught just admit you stated the wrong thing. Again you said this

This is 100% false and couldn't be more false. Blocking does 100% lessen the impact of a punch. This is without question. Nobody is saying it totally takes away any impact on you or you can just block like that forever and never be hurt. Not once has anybody said that. However, what we do know is your statement was 100% false and you're still not admitting it.

How much of the force do you think it stopped?

Okay so you're admitting you were wrong in your statement then? blocking does negate some of the impact correct? As opposed to.. blocking doesn't negate a punches impact

Who can say... who knows.. What we DO know is that you were wrong and it does negate some of the impact. Period end of story

Actually it isn't false as I've already proven, negate means to make something ineffective and simply lessening the force of a punch only lessens it's effectiveness, it doesn't remove it.

You're just trying to change the definition of the word because you know I'm right.

Again, negate means to make something ineffective, if holding your hands up really make punches ineffective by all means post a vid of you tanking 20+ hits from a boxer.

These are the two things you said... So WHICH IS IT? You keep focusing on the word negate because you've been owned and you know it. Which is why you made conflicting posts. Blocking absolutely 100% lessen the impact of a punch. There is no getting around that fact.

As long as it stopped some, Rocky did not tank Lang's blows as some are trying to claim

I get that you're upset that I use words correctly, but instead of throwing a hissy fit, maybe you should just educate yourself as that would solve the problem.

Which is it?

The stances don't contradict each other, so why do you keep asking "which is it"?

James J Braddock absolutely destroys him. This is almost spite.

of course it does... Somebody commented that Lang hit Rocky with 20+ answered punches to the head. To which somebody else and I commented that he was blocking them not taking the full effects to his head. To which you say, Blocking punches doesn't negate a punches force. WTF? So then what exactly are you saying with your comment? Why were you interjecting such a moronic comment? Are you saying Rocky would've taken the same impact had he not been blocking? If not, why are commenting.. if you're saying blocking does lessen the impact that you are agreeing with us.. if that's the case then your comment makes no sense.

Just saying that my comments contradict each other doesn't make it true, you should probably educate yourself in regards to what words actually mean.
