If you could fight anyone from history... who would it be?

Bard

Gandhi? Lincoln? Your great-grandfather? Timothy McVeigh? de Valera? That little sh|t who bullied the whole class when you were in primary school?

Yes, it's the question from Fight Club... and I'm asking it here. If you could fight anyone from history, famous or otherwise, who would it be?

Oh... and WHY would you choose that person?

You decide! ... I'll throw my own submission in later

Bruce Lee. It would be cool to see how good he really was for myself! It would be like taking part in a really cool fight scene. I know I would get absolutely battered but it would be worth it just for the experience.

I'm the Dude

the fnj

I'd go back and fight Adam. Have Eve for myself

It's a silly topic in my opinion "I would like to fight this guy cause I hate him". Whats the point in fighting him and where's it going to get you?

I think the question of who would be your idea dinner guest, that would be a good one.

By the way, it's been done before and Hitler won.

That's not necessarily the point - dude in Fight Club didn't hate Gandhi but thought it'd be cool to be in a scrap with him anyway

ObeyGiant

Fight Club has made me lose almost all faith in humanity. Or at least the internet.

scutchy

The Smurfs. All of them.

(a) They irritate me

(b) Can you imagine how much fun that would be? a herd of small blue things attacking you ;-)

Real people:

Bruce Lee.

Teach him you shouldn't give up a style after 4 years and start cherrypicking other stuff.

And smack him for writing so much on exercise when his own methods left him in chronic pain for most of his life.

Genghis Kahn:

Short guy, but anyone who can conquer half the known world had to be good ;-)

Jesus:

How cool would that be?

O Sensei - Morihei Ueshiba:

Founder of Aikido. At 80 years of age with terminal liver cancer he had to be carried into his dojo, whereupon he won a 6 on 1. That guy was too cool.

Dan Docherty:

Founder of practical tai chi chuan. Moved up 3 weight divisions while representing Hong Kong in an open ended weight category in the 5th South East Asian Chinese Pugilistic Championships in Malaysia. I know a guy who trains under him.

I'd rather spar him than fight him, there'd be so much to learn. Same goes for O Sensei of course.

Igor Vovchanchin:

UFC / NHF / all around russian hardman. Once got hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

Turned around and hurt the guy. Badly.

Tra "Trauma" Telligman

Submission fighter. Lost most of his right chest in a car crash when he was 1, but fights professionally. I admire that.

Sorry for the long post, but you did ask ;-)

I would like to kick the crap out of the ******* who ran over my cat when I was three. Grrrrrrr!


Other than that, I would like a good scrap with any fascist dictator types from the past who have caused suffering to millions.

Then again

Sting, I think...
...or something.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Dont be at yourself

Choice split between 2 greats:

Bruce Lee - How fast could he go? I'd love to even just seen him fight in person

Mohammad Ali(at his best) - The greatest boxer ever, he'd clean my clock in no time but to just step in the ring with an all time great would be amazing

Right... fighting made up people?

Can I do that?

I'd probably see if I could whoop Junpei from Megatokyo.

DadaKopf

Mud wrestling with Gloria Hunniford and Susan B. Anthony.

It would have to be Richard the Lionheart.
To joust in a 1/4 ton of armour with lance and horse. Afterwards to quaff at a banquet (provided I still had an unbroken bone )

I'd give Bard a good scrapping. I don't have a reason.

I'd like to fight Jesus... he caused more pain and destruction in the world after his death (presuming he actually existed...) than any others.

I think someone else mentioned this recently.

Note to Scutchy, I will need to start some more of that matsa mura saeta business if I want to fight Dave, he is about 4 inches taller than me. I presume you can be my Mr Myagi?

Matsumuro Seito - not that it matters, it's all anglicisation anyway

A challenge, eh? There's some psychological work to be done, but if you're up for it, I'd put money on you.

If you ever want to come out here to train again, you're more than welcome. I could probably get you into Aikido as well, but I'd have to teach you to breakfall first.

(I've been practicing on concrete - muchos bruising )

Shiminay

I'd take on Cloud, DeVore, Regi and X_Or all at the same time and take control of boards.ie for myself!!

Anyway - I'd fight Lemmy - wouldn't it be cool to fight God?

I'd go back in time a day and fight the version of myself who was a day younger. If for no other reason then to raise the paradoxes of time travel and also it would be a dead fair match up.

</font>

and you'd fu<kin freak yourself out, except you wouldn't because you meant to do it, - but you hadn't seen it coming, - but you planned to do it after you hadn't seen it coming and then you went back to when you hadn't seen it coming, and... did it... and ... arrrgh!!! too much noise!!!!

apart from all the mad paradoxes- what about the whole thing of the same matter not being able to occupy the same space and all that. You'd throw a punch, connect and suddenly, you and yourself from the past would meld into one gelatinous blob and smulch about a bit before popping out of existence forever.

Probably.

It'd be a wild experience though.

Are you still there?

Just say you really kicked your younger self's ass wouldn't you get injured too as you fought him. I mean if you broke his ribs wouldn't your ribs be suddenly broken too?
