Regardless of Apollo's skill level, think of the durability of rocky fighters. They take full-on haymakers RIGHT to the chin. Like, dozens of them. Nobody has that kind of durability in real life, so the fiction, more than the skill, gives this to Apollo in a stomp.
Yea, that's why he died fighting the Russian. But the Russian's punches were calculated over 1800 pounds of pressure.

Apollo takes a round of being punched by a man hitting 3 times harder than any other heavyweight on Earth ( Drago rocky 4). Plus he fights Rocky for like 14 rounds. No Welterweight is going a round against Drago or 14 rounds against the italian stallion. The durabilty feats in the Rocky movies are insane.
@Fragneto: The only way to make it fair is to put them at the same weight level. That'd be interesting, and I'd possibly go for Jr.
But how would that be logically made? Jr gains strength and losses some speed? If so then how much? Or would apollo gains speed and looses power? Again by how much?
People making all these boxing threads need to learn what weight classes are for. I think Floyd would be lucky to even make 160 lbs and Apollo would be lucky to make 175.

The weight difference is too great. It would be like De La Hoya vs Pacquiao. We've seen what happens when someone doesn't rehydrate on time. It's a lot easier to gain weight and maintain what you have than it is to drop weight.
Apollo Creed wins easy against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Apollo was the Heavyweight Champion of the World... and I think he was Undefeated until Rocky 2 ( record was 45-0 at that point IIRC )... he had KO Power and Great Hand Speed. PLUS, He is a Fictional Character.

It's called P4P, we compare skills.

P4P. But yeah it needs to be stated. In fact it wouldn't make sense. I guess I meant Jr was the better boxer for his weight.

No... Apollo Creed is still taller than Floyd and has the reach advantage being about 5 inches taller than Floyd. Floyd is close to his maximum weight for optimum performance and so is creed. Unless if you have a shrink ray or something to make them proportionally the same size than Floyd would probably win.

In boxing height really doesn't matter much though. Floyd has fought a few 6 footers with longer reach than him, like Diego Corrales and Phillip N'dou.
@cascadeking09: Diego is 5'10.5" and Phillip N'dou I'm not sure.
It really depends on your fighting style. In this case Apollo Creed is suppose to be an outboxer, so his longer reach would help him out a lot when jabbing from affair.
Shorter reach helped Tyson have faster hooks that were very compact when he got in close.
So yes, height doesn't really matter unless your boxing style takes advantage of your height.
Ok, say that the 5th round starts. Both the fighters tap gloves, but Apollo smiles, turns around to flaunt his popularity cheers with his hands down and looks back at Mayweather jr. only to see him giving him the 1 2 hook to the face.

Yes of course it'll only take him 1-2 rounds to win.
