Ivan Drago is characterized as a tall (6'8" or 198 cm) and powerful amateur boxing champion from Russia, as well as a former Olympic gold medalist. He is billed at 261 pounds (118 kg, over 18 ½ stone). Drago's reputation i s that of asuperman; he wields a super punch from 1850 to 2150 psi whereas the average psi for a boxer is 800psi-1,000psi. Drago is seen receiving injections throughout the movie (presumably anabolic steroids, though this is never explicitly stated; Lundgren would state during an episode of VH1's I Love the '80s that Drago was "definitely a juicer"). Drago is carefully fitted and trained to be the consummate fighter, with his heart rate and punching power constantly measured via computers during his workouts. This high-tech form of training is shown to contrast with Rocky's rugged, old-fashioned style (e.g., weight training with logs and chopping wood in the bitter cold mountains). | | Character Quotes & Catchphrases | - You will loose
