- Well, Renie, this is one of those questions which I've often wondered
- myself. But, a more interesting question is this:
- Could an evil Batman defeat Superman? Even if batman were old and
- decrepit?
- How about Godzilla versus Ultraman? I think that when Ultraman throws
- one of his killer razor rings, Godzilla would get all sliced up.
- But if Ultraman weren't allowed to use any of his energy weapons, and
- had to rely on Ultra-Judo, that solar power indicator on his rubber suit would
- start to blink, and then it would be all over - Godzilla would be having
- Ultraman-sushi for dinner (extra wasabi please)

- >which is more superior martial arts or boxing ?
-
- Neither.
- As a dessert topping stylist, and a great fan of the 3 Stooges, I would
- throw a creme pie into my enemies face, and then shoot him with my Uzi...
- ...unless he had a knife, then I'd shoot him with my Uzi FIRST, and
- then throw the creme pie afterward.
-
- But, before I did any of that stuff, I would have to recite my
- stooge-fu tantric mantra "Oh, a WISE-GUY, huh?"
-
- >Could Bruce Lee could had beaten Sugar Ray Leonard as a welterweight
-
- Of course - I saw Bruce Lee wipe out a whole island full of kung-fu
- bad guys. Sugar Ray Leonard hasn't got a chance.
- But you see, that's all very moot, because Bruce Lee is DEAD!!! He's
- not pulling this Elvis deal, where some people spot Bruce Lee hanging out in
- 7-Elevens and obscure parking lots. This Bruce Lee is DEAD, it is expired, it
- is an Ex-Bruce Lee - the only reason he's still standing is because you have
- him tacked up on your wall.
-
- But Bruce does have The King of Rock and Roll beat on one level: I
- guess there may be more Bruce Lee impersonators than Elvis impersonators.

- >Chuck Norris/Bill Wallace vs Marvin Hagler in a one on one any thing goes
- >fight including kicks and wrestling, who would win?
-
- The promoters - they'd feed up all their hype, goad your imaginations,
- cause you to engage in endless pointless speculation. They'd sell T-shirts,
- commemorative plates, Chuck Norris vs. Marvin Hagler fight bloopers and all
- sorts of tacky gewgaws.
