Legendary Warriors vs Modern Athletes

[AnimalSquabbles]

I'm starting to realize that the historical badasses i look to for inspiration probably couldnt beat me in a fight.

I'll take myself out of it and use modern athletes. Im not going to include boxers or mma fighters because they'd obviously have an advantage in a fight.

Lets look at Genghis Khan and king Leonidas. Khan was the feared leader of the Mongols, he conquered damn near all of the asian continent and he fuked everybodies bish. He was a beast... Now if we somehow took Genghis Khan, in his prime, and had him fight a random NFL player... Like... Marshawn "The Beast" Lynch to the death. Who would win?

**The fight would be held on a football field, they start 1 on each 45 yard line at the center. Mongol era weapons are posted on the sideline every 10 yards. Lynch has his standard uniform and Khan his military war uniform.


vs



King leonidas bravely led 300 spartans against the whole Persian army, even defeating the infamous Persian "Immortals". How would Leonidas do in a one on one against the only true immortal... "Immortal" Hulk Hogan?

** Fight takes place in a ring on Thermopylae. no weapons allowed. Standard uniform.

EDIT * adding visual to help explain Lynch vs Khan...


I tried to add visual...

[Tewsey]

modern athletes would win of course

[hellbilly1912]

leonidas would win, genghis would lose.

[WataGC]

samurais

[d0wnfall]

those people are 9999999999999999999999999999999x more alpha than your typical NFL *******


all they did was kill people, rape women, and conquer lands.

lol at you thinking your manlet self would have a chance. all those guys knew how to do was kill people, what makes you think your idiot self would stand a chance?

[dsmninja]

You're talking about men born in war torn states whom no nothing else but poverty, blood, and battle and you compare them to the pampered entitled athletes of today? lololol

[strunz]

op u fail @ life in every aspect,

ghengaskahn is a winner, its why he would never be postin a thread like this, look @ ur delusions

u think he "watched sports" and compared famous people of his time to others. nah he payed attention to his goals instead. it is what is lacking in this youth. generation. the average human from that time would beat out the average human of this time given the same opportunities, because they would seize them more.
u wanna kno why he was remembered? cuz he took what he want and accomplished his dreams

OP u couldn't even take the average farmer of 10 BC

but continue on ur journey of this strong strong life, id be so proud to be u brah, lmao. . .

[sciencesgenius1]

Genghis would destroy everything in his path, brb conquered almost all of asia, he wud fuq anyone up

[Drufeus]

Yeah, a trained killer since birth would lose in a fight to a 20th century athlete who's probably never been in a fight. Sense is something that you fail to make.

[badreligion]

Are we talking about combat or sports ? Because if it's combat then it isn't even a question .

[SmithMachineGuy]

well, you know...Of course Hulk Hogan would beat Leonidas. Leonidas may have had 300 Spartans and strategy, but he could not tap into the power of Hulkamania brother! Ya see, when the chips are down and the odds are stacked against, when even the training, the prayer and the vitamins are not enough...that's when The Hulkster can dig deep and find strength in the millions of Hulkamaniacs! King Leonidas will look into the eyes of the Hulkster, and he'll see a force greater than any army that ever existed before. Greater then the Persians, the Spartans, the Mongols, and at the head of that army are the 24 inch pythons! What you gonna do when the largest arms in the world bring the walls of Thermopylae down on you!

Lets look at Genghis Khan and king Leonidas. Khan was the feared leader of the Mongols, he conquered damn near all of the asian continent and he fuked everybodies bish. He was a beast... Now if we somehow took Genghis Khan, in his prime, and had him fight a random NFL player... Like... Marshawn "The Beast" Lynch to the death. Who would win? The fight would be held on a footbal field littered with Mongol weapons and a horse in each endzone. Lynch has his standard unifrom and Khan his military war uniform.

Khan would probably hop on the horse, shoot a couple of arrows into Marshawn Lynch or chuck a spear into his ass, rape his dead body, then go enjoy some of his famous BBQ. That's how he rolled.

[jasonjb]

youre right op, im sure you could win in a fight against people who spent most of their life training for battle or taking part in battles, while youve spent your time making gold colored gloves covered in fake diamonds

[Tillday]

Most of these guys were famous for their strategy and group tactics, that doesn't mean they were immortal 1v1.

That said you'd have to consider their combat training. What weapons are they fighting with? Since the warriors have specialized training in the weapons they'd have a huge advantage, granted, most of the finesse of fighting we see in the movies is bull****, all the parrying etc. didn't really happen, and a good shield + gladius is very simple to use, block and stab. The strength of this set up was in the phalanx, the ability to stand side by side and create a wall of stabbing and defense at the same time.

So in single combat, it really probably comes down to who can keep their head on tight in a life or death situation.

If they were sparring I'd give a huge advantage to modern athletes due to size and nutrition.

[mexanacho]

not sure if srs...

Lynch has probably been in dozens of fights throughout his childhood, dudes came up in the cut lol


But on topic, Khan and Leonidas would kill the athletes with relative ease due to experience with weapons.

EDIT: went full retard, meant leonidas not alexander the great lol

[AnimalSquabbles]

I think you guys are underestimating the athletes. These are some big, strong dudes taking every Steroid there is, against small malnourished strategists. If Marshawn Lynch ran full speed and hit Khan hlemet to helmet, Khan is gonna be hurt real bad.

[MrJohnLocke]

OP in another egotistical thread, judging by your youtube content, I'd pick every ancient warrior over you in a heartbeat.

[playmakerx]

can someone clarify the scenario? i'm pretty sure if both lynch and khan picked up mongol weapons and started sparring, khan would easily win due to familiarity with the weapons.

[PerfectCelltech]

athletes would wreck them obv

what do you think NFL athletes do in the off season

They're on a football field, they start on each opposite 10 yard lines. Weapons scattered everywhere and a horse tied to each goal post.

I hope your trolling lmao..

With weapons, the warriors would destroy the athletes with ease... Especially Ghenghis with a bow would turn that athlete into a porcupine so fast. I would bet on either of the warriors with a sword or lance on a horse or foot destroying the athletes also. **** even a knife or dagger.

You think Lynch is just gonna let Khan walk over and pick up a weapon?!? There's a good chance that lynch would tackle Khan and pummel him to death before either even gets a weapon.

[vRedrum]

lol this thread is gold

moar opinions plz

tbh if weapons are in the mix, im gonna have to give it to the historical badasses

these guys commanded armies, you have to not only be a good strategist but a good warrior as well to successfully lead an army brah .... or your boys gonna get yucky on you ya feel

[TheMisery]

genggi would run for the nearest bow and lay a shaft right up that NFL guys angoos

edit and lol at the comments about nutrition, the two guys in the examples ate very well

[AnimalSquabbles]

They start off bare handed guys

[Mikeisshere]

eat sleep chit phuk and learn to kill/ actually kill
that's all ghengis and leonidas did the majority of their lives

[Croatbrah]

Lmao @ this thread.

Khan would easily kill Lynch in a FISTFIGHT let alone with weapons he is familiar with. Khan spent his entire life in combat: killing, raping, pillaging and being a bad mother fker. If you took Khan's lifetime achievements and tried him in a liberal state he'd be serving millions of life sentences. If Khan got his hands on Lynch he would be biting, fish hooking and nut shotting his way right through him. That's savagery you can't teach.

[MrDeafMuscle]

Genghis would destroy everything in his path, brb conquered almost all of asia, he wud fuq anyone up

Not sure if srs....




MY srs response would be(assuming they all are using hand to hand combat only):

Genghis would lose to Lynch
------------Genghis seemed to be rather obese based off his portraits done by artists in his time
------------Hand to hand combat plus modern day efficient athlete training will put Lynch at an advantage
------------Genghis had armies of over 20k +. So I see him as one of the generals who watch from atop of a hill a mile away.

Hulk would lose to Leonidas
------------Expert in all forms of primitive combat especially face to face combat and quickness puts Leonidas at an advantage.
------------Experience of countless battles has allowed Leonidas to hone and perfect his skills especially when anticipating incoming attacks. (Think of mma, they train you to watch body language to anticipate attacks, this is an ancient skill)
------------Hulk is sluggish and nearly has no real combat experience, yet he has been "practicing" attacks for years which might help him but sluggish will overpower him. Also no cardio.

[brehbrah]

Most warriors of ancient/medieval times would destroy modern athletes in a 1v1 hand to hand combat situation.

Athletes train to perform at their sport
Ancient warriors were trained to kill people, and fought for their lives, killing many men and raping their wives and children afterwards.

You went full potato with your analysis of Khan. How do you think he became the mother fuking Khan? By being a fatboy?
