Was Ivan Drago a killer really in your eyes?

He killed Apollo Creed in the 4th film.

Yes he is a killer

No

Boxing movies, and the Rocky series, is/was an example of how out of touch with reality those films were. As an amateur boxer in my 20's, in the military, basic training and as a civilian, I certainly saw the difference, and have very little respect for what is portrayed in those films

in the movie, he could see that he was really hurting bad and it was supposed to be an exhibition and he said it after if he dies, he dies so what do you think if that was reality M

No. The responsibility falls on the ref and medics for not stopping the fight.

[AI Opinion]

In "Rocky IV," Ivan Drago's punch led to the tragic death of Apollo Creed during their boxing match. While the intent might not have been outright murder, his brutality in the ring certainly contributed to Apollo's death. Drago was more a product of Cold War tensions and a ruthless sports system than a cold-blooded killer. The movie portrays him as a formidable opponent, but ultimately it's a sporting event, where the risks are known. 🥊

Yeah he was a killer. maybe he didn't kill Apollo on purpose but after the fight he said 'it is ok if he dies" and this makes him a killer for me.

No because it is a movie.
