Why Sylvester Stallone would “pay” for a fight between Rocky and Rambo
The actor raised various fight scenarios and asserted that “neither of them will ever be the same” after that tough fight. And he said it would be a real honor to pay to see such a fight. “Rocky is incredibly tough and he’s also pretty good on the ground,” Stallone said, later arguing of Rambo that he “has a brutal skill set” that can beat anyone.
On the different scenarios of the fight, he noted: “If the fighters made an effort to stay on their feet, Rocky would prevail. His body shots and his right hooks would eventually beat Rambo… If the fight goes to the ground, Rambo will prevail. In a bloody and brutal fight to the finish…rethinking this scenario basically into a street fight…Rocky will land the first five or six punches. If that doesn’t incapacitate Rambo, which I don’t think he will unless he catches him off guard, Rambo’s skill set will definitely beat him.”
Stallone expanded that in the case of a street fight in which Rocky Balboa fall to the ground, the outcome would be tragic: Rambo it would attack “in the eyes, the throat, every vulnerable part of the body eventually. Leading to him being knocked to the ground and most likely maimed.” The conclusion he came to, after weighing various possible scenarios, is that “neither of us will ever be the same” after that violent encounter.
