CycleChat Investigates - Fisticuffs

[Drago]

Well, it seems that Mark Zuckerberk and Elon Musk are to have a cage fight Seems a bit wet to me, like Thora Hird fighting a lettuce.

Which got me thinking...who has had the best fisticuffs of all time..?

 

[Slick]

Rumble in the jungle was by far the pinnacle.

There has been a few low points over the years, but none more so than Anthony Joshua labouring against a short term stand in and if I'm completely honest, felt a bit sickened by the whole sorry episode.

I grew up on a diet of cracking boxers, but definitely lost the thirst for it with the passing of a very promising talent in Mikey Towel.

Nelson Piquet v Eliseo Salazar at Hockenheim in 1982 springs to mind.

But me being me, I'd have to choose Warwick v Schumacher at the Nurburgring in 1991. I've always wondered what kind of person Michael would have been had Jochen Mass not stopped Derek from completing the pasting that the Deutsches squirt deserved.

Derek is not a small man, and his Uncle Stan trained him well.

 

[roley poley]

William Thompson v Ben Caunt

 

[stephec]

I can't believe you've not included this option - Steven Segal v 50 hells angels in a bar.

Coulthard v Schumacher, Spa 1998.

Segal would have no problem with defeating 50 Hells Angels ina bar

He is a black belt in $somethingorother

and I have seen him do similar on the telly

and he says so - so that's the proof!

or he might be an overweight overblown person overly impressed by his apparent celebrity image

Coulthard v Schumacher, Spa 1988.

Wrong year, me old bean.

Nope, that was a playground spat compared to what Derek did to Schuey.

At just 17 years and 156 days, he'd have been the youngest driver in F1.

 

[T4tomo]

Hagler vs Hearns

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I went for an option where I would not mind witehr or both of them getting beaten up

rather than an actual good fight

Morgan v clarkson would probably be more like "handbags at dawn" but at least if any handbag landed it would not be a shame

 

[Jameshow]

Lance Armstrong Vs Dwain Chambers!

 

[Bollo]

The two ladies who piled out of a pub in Fratton, Pompey while I was riding to the meet for an edition of @StuAff ’s IoW night ride. They’d clearly had a falling out.

 

[HLaB]

Somebody in the TdF pi$$ed off at spectators comes to mind.

And, as it was BITD, only *just* old enough to hold a novice's racing licence and do junior Formula Ford.
