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 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.
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.

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.
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.
