Every Fight In The Rocky Series Ranked From Worst To Best
8. Apollo Creed Vs. Ivan Drago (Rocky IV)
This was another one-sided slugfest that left a bloody mark on our collective childhood.
Apollo didn't deserve to go out like this - pummeled to death in an exhibition match by a hyperbolised personification of Cold War Russia.
Realism was out for the count by this point in the Rocky timeline, and this bloodbath is as over the top as the James Brown performance that preceded it.
What kind of referee would have allowed this slaughter to continue beyond the opening minute?
