Who would win in a fist fight between Aung San Suu Kyi and Benazir Bhutto?
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 12:07 PM by Bucky
Yes, it's the epic clash of the south Asian political dissident titans!

On the right, there's Benazir "the Basher" Bhutto...
Cool, detached, outgoing, even a hint of corruption as she muscles, hustles, and bustles her way back into power.

On the left, we have Aung San "Bang-a-Gong" Suu Kyi...
Warm, maternal, visionary, biding her time while she gives her enemies just enough rope to hang themselves.

Two hotties will enter the ring... but only one will walk out. Call it! Who will win? Sunday... Sunday... Sunday!!

1. Bhutto
How about Abe Lincoln vs. Teddy Roosevelt?

2. Honest Abe's got the advantage in reach
Plus TR has bad eyesight and asthma.

How about Joan of Arc vs. Cindy Sheehan?

3. I don't know - Joan never carried a weapon. Does she get to wear her armor?

4. I'm thinking her faith in her holy mission eould be all the armor she'd need
But I'll leave the final decision up to the sanctioning authority.

9. Cindy. She's older (Jehanne D'Arc was about 20 when she died) & thus sneakier
Always, always go with the older fighter. Us old folks are ruthless and know all the tricks.

17. TR became a prize-winning bare-knuckle fighter in his twenties.
Don't count him out.



This pic was the only one I could find...

5. How about Bhutto and Aung together, versus Mike Ditka?
But in answer to your question, it'd have to be Bhutto, because I suspect she eats better.

10. I don't know, either
But what I do know is that I sure wouldn't want to personally tangle with either one. :scared:

13. Jackson, obviously
Lincoln may think he's a boxer, but he couldn't take a blow to the head.

15. I'd still go with Lincoln
He'd stay calm while Jackson would throw wild punches!

18. No, Jackson's tough
He fought a duel once. He let his opponent shoot first. hitting him in the chest before taking his own shot and fatally wounding the man.

19. I'd pick Bhutto
Kyi has been under house arrest too long. I don't think she'd be in good physical shape to take on Bhutto. It would be a hell of a fight, though.
