Dame Anderson (Creed III) vs. Viktor Drago

Adonis who fought Dame was past his best. But its implied that he isn't far off his best once he regains his will. That said he still held back against Dame right up until last round.

I'm tempted to say Viktor wins in a fair fight. However if Dame fights dirty and gets away with it then he would win. He'd neutralise Viktor's major assets by hitting his arms/shoulders and elbows and low blows would make the rest.

I haven't seen Creed 3 yet, but Viktor was a freaking monster.

I'd be surprised if he loses.

Viktor wins solidly.

Well I'll just put some thoughts into a spoiler block. So be warned.

I'm beginning to lean more towards Dame the more I think of it:

Bump.

Dame was spoken about and shown to probably have the most talent of them all but obviously his age and being in prison had diminished his full potential.

I think you’d initially say Drago but arguably Creed was “beating” Drago as his training went on as well.

Creed~Dame>Drago

Viktor. Creed was past his prime and as already stated above, mentally suppressed which was blatantly showcased. I think Dame gives him problems regardless, which in itself is insane to think about it.

Dame performing the way he did speaks for itself. I feel like Dame had the most potential that will remain untapped. He is even older than Adonis so past his prime + nobody can give him those 18 years back in which he could have worked day after day with elite coaches.

An hypothetical prime Dame most likely slams them both, but we will never get to see that.

Drago wins for the reasons stated above

Drago has been training since he was a kid right?

dame had one fight and has been training like a year?

Dame was a national amateur champion as a teenager. He went to prison for 18 years and continued to train in prison. Won the world title in his pro debut.

Official marketing also refers to him as Adonis's "greatest enemy" so this may be canon confirmation that he is > Drago.

I think logically Drago takes it though.

@frozen: i think greatest enemy in the sense of how close they were now they're bitter rivals
