Is there anybody out there who disagrees with fighting?
I think it was the great Dalton in the classic, Road House who said, “Nobody ever wins a fight”.
I’d beat everybody because I would use my super secret ninja powers and everyone knows ninjas rule all.
Yea, so the last time I have gotten into a fight was in 7th grade maybe? But I am tough enough mentally to keep cool in a hostile situation and use my brain power to win the fight before it ever starts. It’s cool because everyone wins, the angry drunk guy or whatever, walks away thinking he is the dominant male, and I walk away laughing at an ignorant caveman who is so dumb he doesn’t even realize I just controlled his actions and made decisions for him. No one has a hospital bill to pay for and nobody does any jail time.
And as soon as I read this I knew zeb was up to something sneaky. He is definately baiting all of us for his own twisted purposes. Of course we are all to happy to oblige him in his quest?
Vegita, Ha ha, no actually I was simply curious regarding what the “average” member thought about his fighting potential.
Like any thread, it’s for fun. Nothing sinister about it. I did notice that most people did not actually answer the question. I found that interesting.
I wasn’t going to bring it up, but vegita opened the door. How many folks learned illegal Ninja moves from the government?
I’m not supposed to say anything but, being that I am safely hidden behind the privacy of the internet, I am actually an indestructable ninja machine created by the NIS. I could kill everyone on this thread with just my incredibly well honed ninja mental powers.
I’ve never been in a real fight but I’ll answer anyway. I would have to actually fight 100 people to give you an answer because trying to predict a fight is pointless, you never know what might happen. You might as well be asking me to predict the future.
it really is a tough question zeb, on one hand it’s like anything else, you probably will do better with a strong mental image of you bashing the hell out of the other guy, than going in thinking you are gonna get slaughtered. Therefore on that fact alone, most of the guys who said they would do very well, probably would, as long as they weren’t just 17 year old readheads from malibu, who thought they grew up in the ghetto and that they were male model rappers or something queer like that.
To be honest, I’d probably do better than most, but i’m not big, or specialized in fighting. I used to wrestle all the time and consistantly make my larger friends tap out, but again, they weren’t allowed to just bash me in the face or anything. That being said, I have good pain tolerance and have taken some hard hits to the head without getting knocked out. Like sailing 15 ft in the air on a snowboard and landing and having an edge stick in the ice on the landing, getting whiplashed down head first onto the ice. That hurt and I probably suffered a mild concussion but I could still function. If anyone ever hits me that hard, all I need to do is run anyways. and I am faster than 99% of the general population so thats always an available option. that being said, if you lined up 100 dudes, I might be able to take down 70-75% of them. So there’s you answer, long winded and over explained as always.
I am a former professional maui thai kickboxer. I am 6’6 and 290. Elk Hunter can vouch for my size, and that I am not a fat ass. Being a trained fighter, I am schooled at delivering blows, and equally as important, not getting hit. That said, I am also 40 years old, and in an average day, I think about how tough I am about zero times. I don’t drink, so I don’t frequent bars and have to be around drunk dumbasses, and I am a mortgage banker, so I deal with professional types at work. About the only thing that would make me want to, or have to fight, would be either someone messing with my wife or children, or someone directly disrespecting me to my face.
The law thing is just to much of a pain in the ass to be a loose cannon. A funny thing happened a while back. Living in Colorado Springs, the 10th special forces is stationed here. Anyway, there is this green beret, huge and juiced to the max, but a really nice guy. Well this guy I’m working out with tells me, “hey, you’re bigger than him, you could kick his ass”. I say, “you know what, I sit on my ass and crunch numbers all day, and he trains to kill people, I want nothing to do with that dude”. Those guys (the 10th) are over in Iraq right now, and I have often wondered what this guy could do to some skinny assed Iraqi. The dude is a fucking monster, I’m sure they spill their guts to him.

Rainjack - I hear ninjas can totally flip out and not even care. Is that true?
From an average population sample, I would beat 51 people, mainly because they would all be women.
Seriously, I can take care of myself and don’t go out to pick fights, but how many times have one of you tried to avoid a fight because you don’t really want to hurt someone, and that dumbass has just kept coming and coming at you? Especially younger folks. I’m trying to avoid stomping his ass into peanut butter, and he thinks he’s the man cause I don’t want to fight him. In the end, it would have caused a lot less aggravation if I just stomped him in the first place and went back to drinking my beer.
It’s about time you watched the deleted scenes.

Just a point to note…is he not a large target to an AK?
The only guy I ever fought was my older brother. That always ended with my mother kicking both of our asses. She was a master at the “Grab the ear and twist move!” Somehow we always ended up outside and crying.
ok, I don’t like talking about this but I’ll add it anyway. The last 2 seasons I played junior hockey(ended a year ago) I was the fighter for our team. At 5’11 190-195lbs I was pretty much smaller than every guy I fought. I’d say I was in about 40-50 fights total, and won well over half of those. The ones I lost were always against kids my size or smaller, oddly enough. The last one I was in I tore a ligament on my left thumb against a black kid that was 6’4 250+lbs, and he didn’t even hit me once. But that’s on ice, I can’t vouch for my skills off the ice since I have never been in a street fight nor do I wish to be.
Hey griff you asked for it bro 
Unabashed hijack:
All these jerks over 6 feet…How does one win fights when giving up 5+ inches?
Being short is my cross. (Part of it.) The Lord never gives you more than you can bear.
Maybe this thread isn’t the best one on which to talk about the Lord giving personal crosses.
I’d have no chance. I’d be a pretty good punching back though. I used to beat up my 2 younger brothers, until one-a year younger got serious in Karate and started knocking people unconscious to the body, and breaking cheek bones. The other, 6 years younger and I made peace when he was in 8th grade and hit 6 foot 220.
If I were put in a life or death situation, it would be different. I have a real strong side kick and would just keep going for a taller guy’s knees. If it ended up on the ground, ram my fingers up his nostrils, or try to get an elbow on the windpipe, or gouge the eyes.
Anyway, as far as me being a punching bag, I got a rare treat of getting “initiated” unwillingly into a gang when I moved from the suburbs to the inner city. I probably got pummelled and kicked for about 15 minutes by 5-6 guys, and stupidly kept getting back up.

Grab ahold with one hand and Jackhammer with the other. Or take it to the ground, with your thickness you will probably be taller than him lying down.
I couldn’t fight my way out of a wet paper bag.
But, being 6’2" 245, I hopefully am a bit of a deterrent from possible trouble from someone.

Here is an interesting question:
How tough (able to fight) do you really think you are? For example, out of 100 random guys aged 21 to 41 how many would you be able to beat up?
Do you think that you are a better fighter than only 10 of them? Do you think you could handle 70 of them? Think you are bad enough to ranked at the top?
To be clear, I am talking about one on one encouters where no one has an emotional, or any other advantage other than what he brings with his two fists (feet etc).
How tough does the typical T-Man think he is?[/quote]
if my back is to the wall, i will fight.
i don’t like it. i hung up my gloves a long time ago. i hurt some people in the past beyond what i intended and know how fragile the human body is.
i don’t pay attention to black belt big mouths etc… i can easily tear a banister or pay phone from a wall and even out the fight.
Out of 100, I would kill 100 - at the same time. You see, being a super saiyan, all I have to do is unleash a Kame Hame Ha wave and it would be all over.
In all seriousness though, I could easily beat up at least 90. I’ve watched enough episodes of Walker Texas Ranger to know what I’m doing.
