IP-Man and Rama vs the Rocky boxers

[Chernabog]

IP-Man and Rama both take a trip to the Rocky-verse and challenge Rocky and all the other boxers in a fight.

IP-Man and Rama will each fight all the Rocky boxers 1v1 in the following order:
1) Tommy Gunn
2) Mason Dixon
3) Apollo Creed
4) Adonis Creed
5) Clubber Lang
6) Rocky Balboa
7) Ivan Drago.

Bonus: Thunderlips

How do they both do? Both IP-Man and Rama are in their prime, can use any moves they know, and both teams are bloodlusted.

Honestly I'd give Rama good odds on soloing most of that list.

either of them could solo this. drago is the only one who has some kind of superhuman level of punching and even he isn't winning his fight.

[SpiderClops]

Agreeing with above. Both of them could solo Rocky boxers.

[grampagen]

You'd have to spot the Rocky characters boxing rules, and even then it's not great.

I suppose an argument could be made that Ip Man did draw with Mike Tyson who wasn't especially amped up - for the genre, anyway - but that movie made a point to specify that by this time he was older and more than a little depressed.

Either one is going to be having a field day kicking front legs and stomping on feet.

plus, i don't even think any of them can even hurt rama. dude's soak and endurance are crazy.

[Adrian Fomble]

Not saying that IP-Man or Rama doesn't stomp the crap out of this gauntlet, but isn't Drago more superhuman in terms of purely punching power? Isn't Drago's ability to hit harder than a shotgun shell + the fact that Rocky IV Rocky tanks them to the face like candy make this a challenge for the duo?

[Twickster]

Rama can be rather creative when it comes to violence. As opposed to the rather straightforward force of tanking punches to the face, its not beyond him to use human physiology to target weak points and bend limbs in ways they're not supposed to be bent. So, sure, Rocky's durability is up there, and would matter if Rama just goes and punches him in the face, but he's going to be doing things like targeting eyeballs and windpipes, or dislocating kneecaps.

Ip is pretty dang superhuman himself and has run over faster and more skilled fighters than Rocky and Drago.

and rama has insane soak by the end of "the raid II".

also, the boxers are kind of limited to what they can do due to the limitations of boxing in general. one of the reason tyson was able to go head up against IP-man was due to him actually mixing up his style include kicks, headbutts, grabs etc.

[master of read]

this just shows you how much of a beast mike was in that movie.

not only was he able to go toe to toe with ip-man and not lose, but he was able to punch him clear across the room from his back (which anyone with any kind of martial arts knowledge can tell you is friggin impossible) but he punched ip-man's elbows with his bare hands and didn't seem hurt by it.

[Guy1]

For further context, this is the level of fighting you will see in Ip Man.

And now Rama!



Like we said above: Ip Man and Rama are freaking crazy.

Also, it should be noted that Rama does all this while heavily injured (several machete blows earlier in the day). Although it seems he gets stronger the more he gets beaten up, so that's not a disadvantage, I suppose.
