Duel of Might and Magic

You thought we would have issues with putting kids in the ring? WELL YOU WERE WRONG! Today we have a duel of Dragons! Ivan Drago, the Russian super athlete versus Draco Malfoy the blonde villain from Harry Potter. Our contestants will play without rules, everything is allowed! Our contestants will be based on:

Character

Skill

Intimidation

Quality of his Rival

Without further ado, it is time to RUMBLE!

Draco Malfoy

The infamous Slitherin and arch nemesis of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy is a rather troubled young man. Son of what can be summed up as the slimiest piece of human douche, he was raised with overwhelming pressure to become something that, ultimately he both did not want, and was incapable of doing. Draco Malfoy is perhaps a very interesting character and one that has a genuine progression and redemption throughout the series, but is that enough for him to survive the Tussle?

Character: 8/10 As stated above, Draco has a rich character, decent development and those characteristics that make for a perfect antagonist. You hate him, but you can also sympathize with him. The tragedy and circumstance of his upbringing do not justify his actions, but they do give perspective and allow us to understand him

Skill: 6/10 Capable, true, but ultimately he is always losing left and right, falling short, or turned into a ferret. He always poses a threat, but not enough to make us nervous as to the outcome.

Intimidation: 1/10 Just check the photo. Neeeext!

Quality of his Rival : 7/10 Admittedly his arch rival is the protagonist of the novels, however what undermines the entire thing -is- the fact that Harry Potter is in fact someone who appears to luck his way through most situations as well as having key friends to tackle things, thus making his rival not stand up to much.

Ivan Drago

The titanic rival of Rocky in Rocky IV Ivan Drago is a rather interesting villain regardless of how you look at it. Stoic to contrast Apollo's flamboyance, focused and calculating, to contrast James Lang, Ivan Drago has more layers the more you think about him. One thing is for sure however, he is a man determined to be the best, with the skill and drive to accomplish this as well as the cold distance from emotion making him a perfect villain. But, can his physical might contest Magic? LETS FIND OUT

Character: 5/10 True, he may have more layers than one might originally thing, but as a villain shown, he has few going on about him, the few things we know is that he is determined to be the best, no matter the cost, and that he seems to have no emotional connection with any damage his actions might bring.

Skill: 9/10 A man capable of not only defeating but killing Apollo Creed and posing a lethal threat to the protagonist as well. Nobody can question that Ivan Drago, does in fact, mean business.

Intimidation: 10/10 Again, look at the picture. The dude literally killed a man via punching!

Quality of his Rival: 10/10 Though many can make fun of Stalone's performance as Rocky, one thing is for certain. The dynamics in which those characters are put in contrast only serve to both elevate them together. Rocky is not some dude that lucks his way into success, he is a  man that always pushes himself beyond his limits and reaching new heights, thus making both Ivan Drago a lot scarier while showing himself as a better hero.

And The Winner Is:

Rocky!

When a spoiled wizard and an emotionless fighter step into the ring, SOMEONE has to teach them a lesson. Swift, humble, in peak condition, Rocky easily floors both of them with swift, amazing and glorious vengeance!

Who can argue that he is the superior master of the ring? Perhaps we shall find out in another Tussle!
