    Assume each fighter is in his prime, at the peak of his career. Who would win in each of these matches? Also, explain why. You can vote in this poll 3 times, one for each match outcome.

    Tommy Gunn and Mason 'the line' Dixon get excluded because they are pretenders who aren't in the same league as these guys.

    Creed would have crushed everyone (even Rocky) during his prime.

    Between Clubber and Drago? I'm honestly not certain, but I'll give the nod towards Clubber. If Rocky can cut Drago, Clubber certainly would.




    P.S. It was Rocky that killed Creed, not Drago.

    Err, reason for Creed. He was past his prime and didn't take his training seriously, yet was still able to beat Balboa. (near draw on 2nd fight)

    If Rocky could beat the rest (even when Rocky was aging), then Creed in his prime certainly seems like the logical champion.

    Where's Thunderlips, the Ultimate Male? :p

    While Benito certainly makes a good point for Creed, he himself didn't have the "eye of the tiger" in the first two movies. He was too concerned with making money and headlines because he felt Rocky would be no threat. That's why Rocky beat him in the first place. Here are my predictions:

    Ivan Drago
    vs.
    Clubber Lang

    "My prediction.... PAIN!"


    Apollo Creed
    vs.
    Clubber Lang

    See above... Clubber was just so aggressive and brutal. He is such an awesome villain and had such fire..


    Ivan Drago
    vs.
    Apollo Creed

    Well, we all know happened with this one. I know Creed wasn't in his prime... but man, Drago had that juice power!! I think Drago wins regardless

    Ivan Drago
    vs.
    Clubber Lang

    Got to go with Clubber here, he was just quicker and more brutal, he would destroy Ivan.


    Apollo Creed
    vs.
    Clubber Lang

    Apollo Creed, he was almost as strong, much quicker and a much better boxer, he would punish Lang from a distance.


    Ivan Drago
    vs.
    Apollo Creed

    Creed, but by a thin hair, Drago would bother him with his reach, but ultimatly Creed's boxing skills win out.

    Neat thread.

    can't believe I'm taking part in this.. but i do enjoy the Rocky movies.. those being Rocky and Rocky II... the others were entertaining.. when I was a child..

    but if I remember correctly.. Clubber Lang was about Rocky's height.. maybe a half inch taller.. and was more of a bulldog in his fighting technique.. that being.. he mostly charged at his opponent.. not much on foot work..

    so wouldn't Drago's reach give him more problems than he would Creed..?

    Mike Tyson kills all of them.

    This is a great video of Mike with Cus. When Cus died, Mike lost his spirit. Quite sad, really. Mike was the most dominant Boxer of all time in his prime.

    Until you know me, I suggest you pipe down.

    What is it with newbies these days? I'm not difficult to find?

    well I was trying to be considerate.. you seemed to be getting a tad upset over so little.. and what with your posted lifestyle.. and age.. could prove fairly bad for your ticker..

    and our membership here is only three months apart.. "newbie"?

    one man's forum is another man's e-home I suppose..

    if such is the case.. I submit you one of these.. in appeasement for overstepping my bounds as your guest..
