Brian Okert<\/a> at El Tech O posted<\/a> the drawing above with these questions:<\/p>\n Why do ya think Clubber Lang never stepped up to fight Drago?\u00a0 And if they did fight\u2026 How do ya think that would have gone?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n First question first: We don’t know that they never fought.\u00a0 Perhaps they did but the result never made it into the follow-up Rocky\/Creed<\/em> films.<\/p>\n I like to think that after Lang lost to Rocky, he was devastated.\u00a0 Lang had been destroying opponents and thought he was unbeatable.\u00a0 After Rocky knocked him out, Clubber went into a period of isolation and self-reflection. He met a woman who worked with troubled youth.\u00a0 She didn’t follow sports or know Clubber was a boxer.\u00a0 They developed a relationship and Clubber began to work with the kids in an effort to help turn their lives around.\u00a0 Lang had enough money from fighting to retire and he did so he could live a peaceful life with her. (Based somewhat on George Foreman’s life after boxing.)<\/p>\n Second question: If Lang and Drago had fought, how would it have gone?\u00a0 The outcome would, of course, depend on how Sly wanted to move the story forward.\u00a0 No matter who won, Clubber or Drago, then it makes sense he would have continued to fight and we would have heard more about him in the Balboa\/Creed<\/em> movies.\u00a0 \u00a0Since there was no mention of either fighting again, I think it is safe to assume they never fought.\u00a0 But if they did fight, I’d give the edge to Drago… although Clubber would have always had a puncher’s chance.<\/p>\n Your thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brian Okert at El Tech O posted the drawing above with these questions: Why do ya think Clubber Lang never<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-movies","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24669"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24670,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24669\/revisions\/24670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
