This is how I see the fight. It would be much like the Ali and foreman fight. Apollo would start of dancing but would start to tire since he is facing a foe with good defense and who is talk and has a longer reach then him (just like Foreman and Ali).
At some point Apollo who is the older fighter is going to have to let Drago get near him so Drago can start punching and tiring himself out. The question is whether Apollo can physically take the punishment that Drago would dish out so that Drago would tire out.
I believe he can since his character is suppose to represent Ali who was quite durable.

Drago obviously wins.Apollo is simply too weak to harm Drago. He can't run forever.
Furthermore, Drago obviously held back against Apollo. If he didn't, he wouldn't have just killed Apollo. He would have spilled his brains all over the ring.
This is a slaughter.
Apollo beat the breaks off of prime rocko. He'd school Drago.

Lol. Nope. Rocky IV is not his prime.
By my calculations Rocky would have to be over an order of magnitude stronger and more durable to have fought Drago, who has superhuman strength and endurance. It is likely that he could also kill prime Apollo with a single strike.
