as nominated by @LiquidOshawott

Arguments for Rocky:
  • he is the ultimate underdog who often beats opponents well out of his range
  • he never gives up, no matter the odds
  • if you would like to argue that he gets a training montage before this fight, feel free to do so


Arguments for DK:
  • puny human go smush
  • he's a match for Little Mac - would you take Rocky over Little Mac?
  • if DK shoots Rocky, it's gonna hurt


Last topic, the severed head of an immortal werewolf proved that Prime Cranky was more than a match for DK. Today the Kong faces off against the underdog to beat all underdogs. Can he squash this human with a flurry of punches, or is the eye of the tiger stronger than the fists of the ape?

Nominations are welcome!

DK solos. Easiest match he's come across. Don't care how many montages Rocky goes through.

Rocky doesn't have any special powers, weapons, or assists of any sort, so really this comes down to the Rocky vs. Little Mac point. Does Little Mac beat Rocky, and if so, by how much?

Rocky actually has a pretty bad win/loss record for someone of his fame and success. His biggest strength is going the distance when outmatched.

He gives DK his hardest fight yet but ultimately loses in classic Rocky fashion

I would probably take Drago over any opponent Little Mac has faced in OG Punch Out tbh

Rocky in Rocky IV is basically a superhero. He absorbs at least a dozen knockout blows that would kill any man.

No way is DK powerful enough to break him if Drago couldn't.

Wasn't there a "most powerful fictional character" contest on this board where it was argued Rocky would beat Unicron after a long enough montage? So it depends on if this is actual Rocky or GameFAQs planet-buster Rocky.

Judging by the responses thus far, I'll assume the planet-buster meme is dead & DK stomps.

DK would beat any human and I thought we already established this. There was a topic about fighting a whole football team and I think DK won that too. The only source of debate there was some people saying that they'd win because there were several dozens of them, which was required to even stand a chance against DK. A single person would get demolished no matter what.

Little Mac would also beat Rocky because he has the "cartoon physics" advantage in an otherwise even matchup, regardless of whether they were fighting in a video game world or in real life.

Is this strictly in a boxing match where DK has to follow the rules of the sport? If so, Rocky takes it

If it's a street fight it goes to dk

rocky can absorb punches to the head without getting ko'd but dk could just grab his arm and ragdoll him. can't win when you can't punch (or even set your feet)

Donkey Kong

DK has canonically watched all of Little Mac's fights. He knows how boxing works - he's able to drive, after all. He is four times heavier than Rocky. And, more impressively, DK has prepared for a fight with the ANTI-training montage, where he sings about how hopeless it is.

https://youtu.be/Pq25TQm_lyc

He wins anyway. Rocky cannot beat someone who also is not sure they can win, but shows up anyway to try their best. DK would start singing sometime in the 4th round and Rocky would be unable to sing with him because his lip was too swollen, thus losing the fight due to lack of motivation.

No. DK wins.

Rocky can punch out the eye of the tiger. Donkey Kong can punch the tiger's body and KO it.

Yeah I'm getting the feeling that a lot of people here are forgetting that Rocky lost pretty much just as many major fights shown (Rocky 1, Clubber Lang 1, Rocky Balboa) as he won (Rocky 2, Clubber Lang 2, Rocky 4, Rocky 5 LOL doesn't count).

Dude's kind of a bad boxer

Ok, I was with you up till this. All of those loses were in championship matches against the best in the world. To say hes kind of a bad boxer based on that is absurd.

That said, Donkey Kong wins this.

the overall record I keep seeing pop up is 57-23-1, which would never fly in real life.

Most of his losses came prior to his big breakthrough though.

DK wins. Rocky's style is to just eat blows and power through it. DK strength is a good counter.

This is my first time voting in this series

DK wins handily

I mean even if they resort to strictly hand-to-hand combat I'm firmly of the belief that even the weakest gorilla (that's not like sick, old, injured or on death's door) can beat the strongest human and Rocky Balboa isn't even canonically the strongest human in his own damned franchise. Donkey Kong doesn't need a training montage to get into fighting shape.

Even if DK was a weak to average strength gorilla, which he isn't obviously, he would still absolutely dominate any human male.

While it's true that Little Mac is capable of beating DK, you also gotta remember Mac beat Mike Tyson in no more than 3 rounds.

Even in his prime, Rocky had to go the distance against Apollo, Clubber,, and Drago.

DK wins and it ain't close

Little Mac also lives in a world where the toughest boxers can demolish brick walls with their bare hands. Rocky is just a normal dude.
