This question is to finally settle a stupid argument I’ve been having with a friend… yes we are both weird, don’t judge us, just answer the question.

By the way, it’s not racist to route for Abraham Lincoln, as an official for Racism Awareness America I’m making the call that these two figures fighting has nothing to do with racism so you’re okay.

Abe Lincoln’s got the reach.

WTF?

Well, since the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would refuse to participate in violence, I don’t think it would be much of a fight.

@Cupcake Ahhh come on maybe Abe was talking about his mama…

Cupcake's avatar

@bunnyslippers I’m pretty sure he heard far worse than that.

monochromatic's avatar

I agree wasn’t he of the two main advocates all about peace and malcom x all about kill everyone and engage in fights started when people talk about your momma?

@Cupcake I find it sad you have to be so serious with a game of who would win. I feel pity for your inner child, chained at the ankle and forced to spell check thoughts or something for the adult part of your psyche…

@monochromatic not you too?! I think I’m going to sit in the corner and pout now.

Depends on if Abe was a vampire slayer at that time or not, because that really got him in shape to do some damage.

@monochromatic (one of my faves btw- doesn’t mean you’re violent, but you don’t have to take crap either.)
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.Malcolm X

@KNOWITALL I was beginning to wonder if anyone got that the entire question was absurd and that’s why it’s fun and then you came along with vampire hunting. Thank you my dear, you’re a gem.

Just like at the casino, always bet on black ;-}

In two minutes or less with fists and feet only, I think that Mr. Lincoln could get it done. Anything lasting longer than that, I’d have to go with Dr. King….

Fought in what way? Fists? Soccer? Arm wrestling?

Ya, I think you might need to zombify both of them before continuing with the experiment. Fortunately for that plan, they’re both already dead. Lincoln had the larger frame, but has been dead far longer, so there may not be as much left of his skeleton.

MLK. I’d like to say it’s not because he’s black, but it might be.

We all win.

Lincoln was a boxer, and was known for winning duels of honour. Abe has six inches on height and reach, more experience in the ring. MLK a soft little church-boy.

No contest. Abe’s mopping the floor with little Marty.

@Seek_Kolinahr I’ve never heard of Abe being a boxer, but he was a wrestler. He was county champion when he wrestled, and had only one loss in his wrestling career.

cheebdragon's avatar

Depends on what they were fighting over….

Blondesjon's avatar

Lincoln would never have been a successful boxer anyway . . .

. . . he couldn’t take a shot to the head.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

King would get inside, work the body, and eventually chop down Abe. Plus I agree with @Blondesjon . Abe looks like he’d have a glass jaw. He needs a thicker neck to take a shot well.

@KNOWITALL I like that motto. It’s how one should live. New level of respect for the man, thank for that:)

filmfann's avatar

Tyler Durden says Abraham Lincoln: Big guy, big reach. Skinny guys fight ‘til they’re burger.

Plus, he was a rail splitter, which buffed him out. And he killed vampires on the side.

Normally I would always bet on black, but not here.

Confession time, i wasn’t arguing with a friend, it was all me. Muah hah hah hah, I had you all answering a question under false pretenses. Dance puppets dance.

Did i take my meds yet today?

cheebdragon's avatar

It’s all very diabolical….

Berserker's avatar

Chuck Norris.

cheebdragon's avatar

Always.

bunnyslippers's avatar

Adding Chuck Norris to an contest is boring cause it suddenly becomes a fight for second place instead… can you get second place in a fight?

bunnyslippers's avatar

I had heard that song before but the video takes it to another level. Thank you, that made my day.

Seek's avatar

@bunnyslippers – know why all the jokes are about chuck Norris and not Bruce Lee?

Because Bruce Lee is no joke.

cheebdragon's avatar

I thought this was the ultimate showdown

talljasperman's avatar

@cheebdragon Holy crap my pants.

@cheebdragon PCP/CRACK NINJA V.S COPS deserves a retweet.
