Drago.Rocky in REAL life would never have lasted 15 rounds with Drago.Like Creed,he also would have been killed after just a few rounds.No human being can take that kind of punishment and live.Matter of fact.during filming.Lungren accidently punched Stallone in the shoulder and dislocated it, was dislocated for three months and that was someone who was NOT a superhuman like Lungrens charater was.

Look at that before-hand beating. Creed never did THAT either. Rocky was on a whole new level in 4. With 3, he wanted to reprove himself. In 4, he was avenging his dead friend.

True, but he still would've lost. Maybe not killed, but lost. Drago's punches looked and sounded like he was hitting Creed with concrete.

I noticed something that resolves the Clubber Lang vs. Drago thing.
When Rocky got back into shape and was trained by Apollo, he whipped Lang. Seriously, he's dodging Lang constantly and just beating the hell out of him. Now look at the fight with Drago, where Rocky trained harder than ever, and he has all of the skill from the previous movies to match. Even then, you look at that fight, and it is 100% even. Rocky doesn't win until that last burst of energy.

Ok, and another thing about that: I've kind of analyzed on why, for me, Rocky's opponents are so mencaing and how they represent people you (or at least I have) met.

What Makes Apollo Creed Scary: Apollo Creed is that high tier that stumps you on whatever you do. He's that guy that's referred to as "the best" at whatever you're doing, and he wants to prove it. The problem is that while he's not necessarily a bad guy, he has an incredible ego and will do anything to satisfy it. He'll mess around with you and try to make you look stupid in order to make himself look that much better. He rubs everyone the wrong way, and one day you pray that someone'll shut his mouth.

What Makes Clubber Lang Scary: He's that massive, muscular, ultra strong, freakishly big black guy that has a mouth and ego to match. And what's freaky is that we've met that guy. That guy who's such a dick, and yet he's trained enough and he's big enough to say what he does. While Apollo has a mouth, someone like Clubber has absolutely no respect for anyone other than respect. He could care less about anything that isn't him, and probably wants to hurt it just because he can. We've met him, and we hate him.

What Makes Ivan Drago Scary: I know that I've met this guy, I'm not sure about you all, but he's even worse than the other two to a level. He's that guy who's naturally gifted, shaped and trained to be the best, and just a sadistic dick. He's a big (and I mean BIG) ass white guy that says more with his movements and eyes than with his mouth because he thinks he's just that much better than you. When he does any game, sport or competition, he's not out to just win, but to ruin anyone that dare challenge him. Creed might embarass you, and Lang might hurt you, but Drago will completely damage you in the worst ways he can think of. And the whole time he's just smirking and making small comments, but doesn't think anyone's worth it enough to be vocal on it.

What Makes Tommy Gunn Scary: Nothing. Nothing is scary about Tommy Gunn at all. Tommy Gunn sucks. Yeah, we've met the douchey guy who betrays your trust and goes out of their way to hurt you, but he's too much of a loser to care about him. Spider Rico's more threatening than Tommy Gunn.

What Makes Mason "The Line" Dixon Scary: Nothing, really, but he is that cocky punk that thinks he's better than everything before him. You don't like him, and you want to hit him, but at the same time he's more coached than anything to be the way that he is. Still, you don't like his big mouth and his attitude towards other people.

Rocky's toughest opponent is a spelling bee.

Rocky was at his peak with Drago, though. And even then, Drago knocked him down constantly.

Gotta be Clubber. He beat the brakes off Rocky so bad in their 1st fight that it took Apollo's intervention and a montage to beat him.

He went down in strength and skill at that point, though.

also would have killed Rocky as well if the movie wanted to be realistic.Rocky did not have the capability to last more than 5 rounds or so with Clubber Lang because of how strong he was,Appollo said so when they were watching film of him in Rocky 3,he was sying he would have to put him away early to beat him,somehow Stallone forgot that little fact when making rocky 4 because Drago is a lot stronger than Lang so no way in hell could rocky have lasted 15 rounds like he did in that movie. laughing
