Who would win?
Neo, or Rocky Balboa?
Rocky singlehandedly beat Russia.
Neo can tear a bullet out of your chest, then massage your heart into beating again.
But Rocky can take a beating like no other.
I think Neo wins (and I'm surprised you didn't consider this angle) because Trinity is hotter than Adrienne.
And The Terminator aint nuthin' but an agent...
And The Terminator aint nuthin' but an agent...
(damn clones are everywhere...)
Especially in a sci-fi milieu, SealPoet. The best thing about "The Matrix" is that it begins with solid sci-fi premises and obviously with Neo's powers, Rocky Balboa would be mince meat (not that Sylvester minces :wink:

)
I don't know. Slappy's right, Rocky can take a major beating. And, if he gets in a lucky shot there would be the whole "He's bleeding!!! Rocky's cut him!!" momentum change thing to consider.
However, I get the feeling if things got dicey, Neo would just jet out of there anyway. Or make a phone call.
Anyone know why Neo and his troops don't just carry cell phones around? Haven't seen the new one, yet, so maybe it's been answered.
I think it would be close, then after Rocky says "my ring's outside," Neo would be cake.
CAKE, I TELL YOU!
Beachbum, you have to go see the new one...it's awesome.
1) VENUE. Would the fight be inside or outside the Matrix? Or in Brooklyn?
2) EQUIVALENT TRAINING? When Neo downloads his fighting skills, does he retain them in The Real World, or does computer training only apply inside the computer?
If fought Inside, can Rocky download all the same skills while warming up?
Hmmm...
On their ship, ... Neo would be hamburger. Hell, just eating Tasty Wheat makes him woozy, while Rocky can drink five raw eggs right down!
In Brooklyn, ... Neo would be pizza. Just pop his sockets and fuse his brain.
Inside the Matrix, ... Rocky would download the ability the speak and get Adrian to whip his ass. Brainy people have the big advantage Inside, and NObody breaks Adrian's glasses!
So I'd have to say Rocky. He's got more to work with.
I think the Q is would the fight be in Zion or in the matrix? In the matrix Neo would win hands down. But, in Zion - not so sure.....
Right. In Zion, the whole place would start chanting,
ROCKY!
ROCKY!
ROCKY!
ROCKY!
And it would be over.
I dunno. Neo's got the power to stop the octupus-thingies with his mind.....
But Rocky may not be the smartest man, but he knows what love is.
Wait. That was Forrest Gump. Same thing.
Pfffft
So, what about wolverine? The sexiest super-hero of all...... He'd kick Rocky's butt in Zion or in Brooklyn.
HAHAHAHA! The guy who plays Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is an Aussie.... figgers.
THUD!
Now that I think of it, nobody is as mighty a force as the teen wolf.
Nonono, not michael j fox, hugh jackman! I mean, Wolverine! He can heal himself, he's immortal!
One hell of a b-ball player. Gets all the chicks, too.
