This is not a joke...and thought this would make a very interesting and fun topic. This is Rocky Balboa in his prime...like in Rocky III and Rocky IV; when he was beating the snot out of the likes of Ivan Drago and Clubber Lang. Rocky's an extrodinary boxer, but how would some of our heroes do against him in the ring?

The super-heroes (and villains) will be using BOXING ONLY!! I repeat, BOXING ONLY; no judo, tae-quon-do, kick-boxing, ninjitsu, etc...just boxing. All fights take place inside the boxing ring...with each opponent wearing boxing gloves. Fights go to 12 rounds. Rocky starts each new fight totally healed, recharged, and ready to go.

With the "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background, Micky in his corner, and with Adrian cheering him on, how would he do against the likes of......

1 - Robin

2 - Nightwing

3 - The Punisher

4 - Moon Knight

5 - Wolverine (no adamantium skeleton or claws)

6 - Black Panther

7 - The Kingpin

8 - Bane

9 - Batman

10 - Daredevil

11 - Captain America

12 - Taskmaster


Remember, boxing only and Rocky's totally recharged after each fight. So, how far does the Italian Stallion make it????

Now can I get a big "Yoooo Adrian"??

Gets to Punisher.

inspired from my thing vs hulk boxing match
but rocky beats them, NO ONE is as deadly as ivan drago, only cap america, he is nearly as strong as him

I believe Cap and Kingpin would be in Ivan's league as far as strength go...and Bane would surpass Ivan's strength I believe...but strength and power alone isn't what counts the most in boxing...especially against an ol' pro like Balboa.

I'll give it a day or so, since it's an earnest attempt at a thread....but Rocky isn't allowed normally.

Thanks Digi... Appreciate it...

And this is totally legit...I would like to know how certain heroes stack up to the best when it comes to using their boxing skills. We usually see most heroes relying on their martial-arts in fights, and rarely just plain ol' rough and rowdy boxing...so, hopefully this thread will help pinpoint their boxing skills on the map.

unlimited "emotivisation" for Rock!

dude Rocky 3 rematch Rocky was Fine
with Adrian and Micky on vocals and Rocky providing the beatdown its clear sailing all the way.

AAAADRIAN!!

this is exactly the phenomena i wanted to start... boxing on kmc

Rocky clears it!

Montages give him class 100 strength, godlike endurance and durability.

Overcoming a guy with a healing factor will be very, very, very hard.

it will. but rocky has overcomen odds before

Cold-war Siberian Rocky is Elder god level.

being serious, he stops cold at 5
and im not includieng a healing factor for 5 becuase im sure you didnt intend it to be that way

eye of the tiger. Rocky is not just a man he's a hurricane greased lightning and hits like M.C. hammer

can't touch this

Not really...without his adamantium skull I believe Rocky has a good chance of knocking Logan down for the 10 count....also, isn't there a rule that says that if an opponent gets knocked down three times, it's considered a TKO...? I may be mistaken, but if this is the case, I believe Rocky could knock Logan down three times....

tgats called a technical knockout. rocky could win that way, too

You think Rocky can over load Wolverine's healing factor enough to drop him for 10 seconds... with punches... not even class 1 punches.


Are you insane?

Rocky loses to Punishers. Who is A) A better fighter, B) stronger, C) has higher damage soak and... oh hell, Punisher is just better in every conceivable way.

punisher would be a great fight. they both have high damage soak, but i'm pretty sure punisher can't punch 2000psi (as drago was)

Yes, Punisher's a better over-all fighter, but is he a better boxer?

Stronger? Hmmmmm, maybe....but strength isn't the most important factor in boxing.

Higher damage soak up? Close...Rocky can take an ungodly amout of damage...did you see Rocky III or IV? Pretty brutal....but yeah, Punisher can take some damage to....I've seen him take a hell of a lot of damage from the likes of the Russian and Barracuda for example...so I'd say they're pretty close in the ring as far as damage is concerned.

I was assumeing the fighting style allowed here was boxing, which is why i could POSSIBLY see rocky passing the punisher up, as other things determine boxing matches such as points

but he DEFINATELY, loses to logan (and im talking no healing factor)

He gets to Batman, then gets pummelled.

Yes, for all intents and purposes, Wolverine will not be using his healing factor in this match....and only boxing is allowed in this match...no other forms of combat.

Punisher is a brawler, sure he knows some martial arts but when he throws down he doesn't do anything fancy he just throws punches... and he hits like a mac truck... filled to brim with bricks.

Punisher has the highest damage soak just look at his fight with Pittzy, he got a rib blown out with a shot gun... at the started of the fight even. They guy his nuts he got shot in the face three times with rubber bullets (point blank no less) before he blacked out.

ide put punishers stamina leauges beyond rocky, obivously

Still, damage soak isint going to get you any points in a boxing match
and punisher could be out of his element here (unless punisehr has some hidden resolve of boxing skill i didnt know about)

Interesting fight. One question. Doesn't Moon Knight have enhanced strength?

1 - Robin: KO

2 - Nightwing: KO

3 - The Punisher: Points

4 - Moon Knight: ? (waiting on answer)

5 - Wolverine (no adamantium skeleton or claws): 3 knockdown rule, or points, but could also lose.

6 - Black Panther: Can't call.

7 - The Kingpin: KO, but probably in the twelth round.

8 - Bane: Same as last one

9 - Batman: KO, but more likely points.

10 - Daredevil: Can't call

11 - Captain America: Points, narrowly

12 - Taskmaster: Loses.


The enhanced strength guys are hard to call. If they're nerfed to peak human, then Rocky could win up to Tasky. If they're at their normal levels, then we have to ask, is Rocky>= Peak human?

You bob, weave and throw punches... Punisher has good foot work and he knows how to throw a punch, what else do you need to know? Ignore the fact that Punisher (and everyone else) is going to be throwing - at the very least - two/three punches for every one of Rocky's.

It is. If you know how to get your weight into a punch, and have good coordination and foot work, you can box.

Originally posted by TricksterPriest

Early appearances of Moon Knight depict his ability to gain enhanced strength, endurance and reflexes with the waxing and waning phases of the moon. The fuller the moon, the more strength Moon Knight derives from it.

But nowadays, I don't think that applies anymore...but enhanced strength or not, I don't think Moon Knight's stronger than Clubber Lang; and DEFINATELY not stronger than Ivan Drago was in Rocky IV.

Its that simple? Fundamentally, sure. If you want to box causally at Ronans Gym on thursday nights. But to complete well beyond that? I can assure you, thier is MUCH more to it than that. Not only that, it takes quite a bit of work to do what you just stated.

Wolverine should be at 11, or 12. He'a a great master of martial arts. He stop at King Pin.

the reason i could possibly see rocky getting far is the fact that alot of these fightesr would be out of their element

still, i agree with what bouboumaster said

Wolverine is kinda placed in the wrong spot

No, he shouldn't.

I know Wolverine is a great martial artist, but his martial arts skills aren't in question here...we're looking at only his boxing skills...and no way is Logan a better boxer than Cap, D.D., or even Batman....

ide be inclined to believe so

the boxinghype is up keep it that way

If Rocky gets to Wolverine, he gets one shotted.

If you want an idea on how strong you need to be to do that to someone get in your pool and see how far you can throw a baseball underwater... then imagine hitting a bulky, full grown so hard that he rockets from the center of the pool to the other side, with not only enough force to crack the concrete wall... but for his head to become embedded in it.

alot of these guys are better fighter than rocky, but few are better boxers. like duke said in the new one "you know everything there is to know about fighting". its not about tactics or anything because rocky knows it all. hes the best brawler around, and apollo taught him speed and agility enough to take on even mr t.

drago is likley above peak human strength because he uses steroids, so hes stronger than any human can naturally be. and rocky doesnt just take his punches for a while, he takes them for 12 rounds. nobody on the list can take as much and keep comming. and he even wins in the end.

the guys on the list train to fight, they use elbows and knees and feet, rocky is just boxing, he has more experience in just using his fists than anyone on the list, they wouldnt really be in their element in a boxing match. i can see rocky getting to the end standing, he might lose on points to the likes of batman, but i dont think any of these guys could put him down for the count.

I agree with the majority of your post as far as people being out of thier elemnt and stuff

with the exception of the last thing you said

Batman more than likely would put Rocky away
and daredevil would absolutely put rocky away
his dad was a boxer
matt is an increidble boxer (and fighter in general)
and plus, how can rocky get around his senses?

I think even Hulk would more likely break a dude's neck/back/restofhisbody or simply tear him apart than hurl him even a meter underwater.

Hellooo impossible comic maneuvers!

Punisher could probably do the same thing by shooting the guy. Underwater. With a big fat bullet.

even stranger: the fellow was totally fine after what seems to be a high class 100 hit from a guy with adamantium bones (and he cracked the concrete?)

that's pretty stupid, guy.

The theme of all his fights (most of them anyway):

Rocky gets beat up for 12 rounds, comes back for the last 3 rounds for teh knockerouterzzzz!!!!!111

Rocky would last MAYBE 2 minutes against Drake.... and that's being generous.

No, that's being obtuse and fanboyish.

Considering how fluffed and watered down movie fighting is, I wouldn't give him 30 seconds. I'm talking an Anderson Silva vs Chris Leben style beat down.

How? The speed difference between Rocky and Drake (every character on the gauntlet) is insane. The spectators won't be happy but Robin can dance around Rocky, easily avoiding the lummox's attacks as he waits for the 12 round to finish and the forces the judges to declare a winner.

No, he won't. I'm not sure what you people don't understand about Rocky. Through the mystical powers of the montage, he gains superhuman strength, speed, endurance and durability. I suggest you all go and rethink your lives.

Actually, this wasn't meant to be a joke at all...I was totally serious when I originally created the thread; as stated in my original opening thread....

So, c'mon guys...let's get back to some serious debating and discussions here....

Stops at Punisher, because Punisher has every advantage, and could get away with fighting dirty (like I do in FNR3).

Sure Punisher's a better boxer, he takes rocky apart, punisher has taken more damage in one day's night than rocky has in his entire life.

Cap KO's rocky in 4 body punches, each of them hard enough to kill a normal man but rocky somehow survives the first three and only passes out to the third

I wonder who would win between Rocky with "Eye of the Tiger" playing and Daniel-san with "You're the Best" playing. Daniel is just a kid, but Eye of the Tiger kind of sucks a lot after the intro riffs. But if you listen to "You're the Best" on a loop, you really start to feel like you're the best at whatever you're doing at the time.

You do understand that Robin will just be boxing right? No judo, kicks, karate, gadgets here....just boxing. Sure Robin might be an o.k. boxer, but no way is he better than Rocky in boxing. Rocky has been the heavyweight boxing champion of the world TWICE...it's what he does. Boxing is all he does. ROCKY IS BOXING!

I think he could hold his own against a teenage boy who is under half his size, half his weight, half his experience, and half his power...

Sure Robin's a decent all-around fighter, but Rocky is an EXTRORDINARY boxer...who excels in boxing. It's his specialty; whereas Robin's would probably be martial-arts.

he 3-punch knockouts robin

Rocky is a BEAST in the ring...and absolutely refuses to stay down...no matter what! Robin is out of his league here, as well as his environment.
