Clubber Lang.

Ivan Drago is the easy answer but if we really look at it, Rocky was older when he fought Drago. The emotions of the Cold War lead us to connect more with that fight but Lang was a monster. Drago never beat Rocky. Clubber destroyed Rocky physically and almost broke him mentally.

Now in Drago's defense, while he didn't win, he most certainly did a crap ton of damage as Rocky couldn't even talk in Rocky 5.

Tommy Gunn is clearly out of the question. And Apollo had some weird gay emotions connected to Rocky.

Adrian is the correct answer, but Clubber is a close second.

Obviously Thunderlips but if we are just talking boxers than it is Clubber Lang and it isn't even close.

Drago killed Apollo. Frickin put him in the grave. Then gave Rocky brain damage. Lang was about Rocky getting over fear and adapting. Drago was about surviving a monster who could literally kill him.

Creed was the man - he was washed up and came out of retirement to face Drago.

I am also confident he beat Balboa in the rubber match at the end of Rocky III.

He fight clubber twice lost once smoked him the next.

He fought Apollo twice lost once barely won.


Apollo Creed. His greatest enemy and his best friend.
