  1. Rocky did say Apollo won their 3rd match, but who would between a prime Apollo vs a Prime Rocky?

We never saw preak Creed, but it's safe to say he's no where near Rocky 4 Rocky.

Rocky ate a hundred shots to the head from a roided-up monster out of his weight class and still won.

He is mildy superhuman at this point.

In terms of boxing skill Apollo was always better than Rocky. The only reason he lost is because he tried to knock Rocky out in part 2. If he hadn't let his pride get in the way he would have won on points any day of the week. Better streetfighter = Rocky, Better boxer = Apollo. It's all up to whether or not Apollo chooses to stick to his game plan.

To take it further, if you watch the new Creed movie it is revealed that Apollo beat Rocky in their 3rd private fight.

The Apollo that lost to Drago was past his prime so it's not really a good estimate of the difference between "Rocky IV" Rocky and "Prime" Apollo.

Well in the movie Creed, Rocky 2 was basically retconned into Rocky saying he didn't beat Creed, father time did. So we never saw Peak Creed. Since Creed beat Rocky in Rocky 3, I can imagine Creed being more powerful than Rocky 3, but there is just no way he is more powerful than Drago or Rocky 4(Peak Rocky)....

Apollo. He's already 2-3 with Rocky and Apollo was passed his prime. Apollo in his prime would rock the Italian Stallion.

Creed. Rocky said it best..."I didn't beat him. Time beat him. Time beats everbody...it's undefeated."

Also, according to Rocky, Creed won their third fight in the gym. It was clear Creed was the better fighter throughout. He beat him definitively in the first fight...Rocky was famous just for pushing him. In the second, Apollo was beating the tar out of Rocky aand was winning the fight. He was even told to ride out the last round...but refused. That is what Rocky meant when he said he didn't beat him...time did. A younger Creed would have still been fresh enough to get up after that knockdown, or smart enough to listen to his corner.

Prime Creed to Prime Rocky? Creed stomps. Hell Rocky hit his prime after the Clubber Lang fight. Techincally, a retired Creed already beat him.

Creed is being overrated here

He may be 2-3 against him pre-prime but it's pretty apparent prime Rocky (Rocky 4) is beyond Creed and anyone in the first three movies.

@paytience: Drago hits 1850 pounds per square inch. That's much different than Cain or GSP hitting 2000-3000 pounds total. Given the contact area of a boxing glove, the total force of Drago's punch is 10000+ pounds. That's before Drago roids up for fighting Rocky too.
