Apollo Creed vs Clubber Lang

Post by cybox »

Who would win a match between these 2 former heavyweight champs?

I think Creed, the Count of MontiFisto, would be too fast and slick for a plodding Clubber Lang. Lang had POWERbut he needed to have someone in front of him to land. Creed would be to fleet a foot and outbox Lang to a late round TKO. :box:

I take Creed by TKO in 7, but not after suffering some rough moments. Lang could hit and had a solid chin until he ran out of gas. Creed would move more than Balboa did in the second and third rounds of the rematch, which would prolong the fight and allow him to take less punishment. Creed showed he was vulnerable to the "southpaw jinx" however and I think Lang takes advantage of that in spots. Creed could hit the canvas maybe once but comes back to score a well-deserved TKO over an exhausted Lang midway through the bout.

i agree u saw how when creed transfered rocky into a speedy boxer he was able to beat lang. creed had the perfect style to beat lang, speedy skilled boxers gave lang fits and lang was dead tired after 2 rounds



creed TKO 6 lang

Styles make fights and Clubber is made for Creed. Which is why Rocky was just so darn good, he somehow found a way to unlock the puzzle on both of these formidable yet imagined opponents. How did he do it? Good screenwriters.

Which is what Vitali and Roy could use right now someone to write a better final chapter for their boxing careers.

This is the fight of the century.

Lang inside four or Creed by stoppage in 13.

On his night Creed should beat Balboa, but Rocky had the smarts to sort Apollo out before changing his fight plan to beat Clubber.

I reckon Creed would then toy with Lang like a cat plays with a mouse and then stretches him whenever he feels like it after round 5.

Creed would take Clubber into the later rounds and stop him around ten or eleven rounds(can't believe I'm discussing this).

Any more sad than arguing about who's better in the current HW crop? Let's see is it Byrd or Wlad or Brewster or Ruiz or maybe Two Ton Toney?

Or even more pathetic -- will Vitali make a comeback?? :o :o
