New Fight Question

[PhantomGoose]

The top fighter for the job could wind up in any of these groups, depending on circumstances. We're not talking about the average person from any one of these groups, but THE guy.

The top street-fighter might have a criminal history that would keep him out of the military (so he'd never have had the opportunity to be a Navy Seal).

It's the same as asking which of the major sports has the best "overall" male athlete in it (in terms of pure overall physical ability). It depends where the top athlete chose to go, and what his options were.

One year it might be Michael Jordan, another time it might Deion Sanders, or Lance Armstrong, or maybe he's a midfielder on an Italian soccer team, whatever. They could come from anywhere.

Same thing for the top fighter. He could come from, and wind up, anywhere.

I'd imagine being in an inclosure would be a huge advantage to the ufc/ martial arts guy because that is what they are accustomed to.

This is for navy seals

How old are you guys?

I only ask because, while i'm only in my late 20's, I still remember Iron Mike T. when he was in his early 20's. Holy God.

That dood would knock these fools out one by one and then eat their children.

this link basicaly says the same thing i said. that is that seals pretty much train mma, but they do it very limited and would prefer to just shoot you. now the ufc guy trains it all day every day.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your link does not say that. It is about a single MMA discipline that was taught as part of BUDS, but was cancelled as a military instruction program in the late 1990s.

[PairTheBoard]

One thing that puzzles me. If the heavyweight MMA guy is so good why doesn't he just specialize in boxing for a while and challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship where he can make Tens if not Hundreds of Millions of Dollars instead of the paltry purses he fights for now?

I personally think the UFC fighter would win. But what would stop him from being ganged up upon and killed?

THats what I think would happen. Since he is clearly the strongest...the other 4 would gang up upon him because they know if they go to the final two they cannot beat him.

The boxer is clearly the weakest. He will survive the longest because no one will kill him till the end. THey will save him until the end to ensure victory.

For the boxer, the boxer will stay out of all confrontations. He will pick out all his chances to severely cripple each other the other fighters so that when it becomes heads up he has a distinct advantage.

This leaves the other three. I envision them getting the navy seal out.

This leaves the martial arts guy and the gang street fighter. I imagine the boxer just allying himself with the street fighter and ensuring the extension of the fight between two of them thereby exhausting those two so that when it becomes heads up he is in superior shape.

It's not a battle royale. Read what the d00d with the <font color="red"> RED NAME </font>said.

These discussions can be entertaining and worthwhile if the same things weren't repeated due to a lack of thread reading.

[Piers]

My guess is Navy Seal followed by streetfighter. The 'to the death' bit might get to the others.

Edit:
It has just occured to me that there are a lot more asian martial arts specilists than navy seals. I am still with navy seals, but can we include simaliar combat troops from around the world?

[Phanekim]

"in a fight to the death with no gloves inside an enclosure, rate the chances of these five"

nowhere does it says it is not a battle royale. In fact, if anything it seems like it is implied as a battle royale.
