Rambo would win as he is not limited to boxing skills. Indiana Jones would kick Han Solo’s ass too!

If Rocky and Rambo got in a fight, Sly would need some major therapy.

Trautman: I don't think you understand. I didn't come to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.

Teasle: Well, we all appreciate your concern Colonel, I will try to be extra careful!

Trautman: I'm just amazed he allowed any of your posse to live.

Teasle: Is that right?

Trautman: Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're lucky to be breathing.

Teasle: That's just great! Colonel, you came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket!

Trautman: You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare. With a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather, to live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill, period! Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best!

Simple.

Rocky always loses his first fight. This sets up the rest of the movie, when he grapples and soul-searches and finally trains and wins.

“Losing” vs. Rambo means he gets his throat slit.

End of movie. Roll credits.

Rambo has that big ass knife.
