If you could go back in time and fight your 18 year-old self...

**Rain Man** · 03-10-2005, 01:23 PM

...who would win?

foxman · 03-10-2005, 01:25 PM

If a tree fell in the woods and no one was around would it make any noise?

el borracho · 03-10-2005, 01:25 PM

Me, now. I am much bigger, stronger and more knowledgeable now.

**Rain Man** · 03-10-2005, 01:25 PM

Current me would destroy 18 me. I'm much slower, but much stronger, and I carry around a lot more rage now.

Mr. Laz · 03-10-2005, 01:28 PM

my 18 year old self would simply destroy my current self

the will is strong, the body weak

i was a beast in school

HolmeZz · 03-10-2005, 01:39 PM

Seeing as 'current me' and '18 year old me' are the same person, it'd have to end in a tie.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-10-2005, 01:41 PM

Draw. We'd both kick each other squaw in the noots.

Experience and trechery defeats youth and enthusiasm every time.

For some reason I can't vote, but my only chance would be to try to hold my 18 year old self down and hope that he couldn't deal with the bulk.

keg in kc · 03-10-2005, 03:03 PM

I've got me young me by 30 pounds, and there's a lot more anger flowing through these veins. Young me wouldn't stand a chance, unless the fight made it out of the first round.

BigVE · 03-10-2005, 03:06 PM

Easy. Old me for sure. The 18yr old me was a lover not a fighter. Now I can bench press 350lbs and have had some minor boxing training...young me would try to talk his way out.

JimNasium · 03-10-2005, 03:08 PM

Hmmm, interesting question. At 18 I was strong but very dumb. Now I am old, very dumb, but very street smart.

Slayer Diablo · 03-10-2005, 03:12 PM

Damn, not only do I have to go ahead in time rather than back, but it's only a 9-month difference.... Well, I guess there's something that'll happen to cause my 18 y/o self to be that much better.

03-10-2005, 03:14 PM

At 18, I was dumb and didn't know hand to hand combat skills yet. I was incredibly strong, lithe, and lean.

Now, I'm strong, not very lithe, not very lean, but I'm a lot smarter and have some skills.

I'd guess I'd probably maim 18 year old me, though I'd get some shots in on old me.

jarjar · 03-10-2005, 03:17 PM

I was much more vicious and practiced in fighting then, on the other hand I'm also about 60 lbs heavier and have had a bit of weight training. I'd give the edge to me now because of the size advantage but I'm not so sure, I know I was in better shape back then.
