As chief editor and CEO of If They Fight, it shouldn't surprise you that I'm a big fan of naked agression. Got a problem with that?
And as a big fan of naked aggression, it also shouldn't suprise you that my two favorite subjects in school were 18th century European history and the Sylvester Stallone body of movies. Both had plenty of violence. The only major difference was that the 18th century had less steroids (rimshot!)
Most importantly, both had heartless Russian colossuses that would make a fight for the ages if matched up.

| Notable Acts Of Ruthlessness |
After pummeling former Heavyweight Champion of the World Apollo Creed into oblivioon, Drago announces as Creed lays dying "If he dies... he dies." Gave Rocky Balboa irreversible brain damage. |
Tortured eldest son Alexei to death. One rumor says that Peter personally decapitated Alexei and employed a seamstress to sew the head back on. Would attend public executions and sometimes shove exectutioner out of the way to handle the killing himself. |
| Biggest Weakness |
Heavy reliance on anabolic steroids. In a Rocky-era boxing match, this obviously isn't a problem. Everybody in those films, including Adrian and Paulie, was juicing like a mid-90s MLB power hitter. If I can arrange this fight, both fighters will be strictly tested. |
Had abnormally small feet for his size. Also drank a shitload. So poor balance. |
