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

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.

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.
