McCoy vs. Riker
In a battle of fisticuffs who would win Dr. McCoy or Commander Riker? After successfully downing his opponent, what would the victor shout as he stands over the lifeless body?

what a weird match-up. mccoy would win, hands-down. neither would kill the other, though.
You’re probably right, they wouldn’t kill each other. What would their battle cry be?
How the hell would McCoy win hands down? Are you kidding? Riker’s a goddam beefcake and fists fights all the goddam time. He’s even trained in fencing and wrestling. I haven’t seen all the classic series episodes, mind you, but it seems McCoy is more interesting in hilariously complaining than he is in fighting.
If it were bearded Riker, he’d win hands down. His Battle Cry would be informed silence and a wry, sexy/creepy smile.
If it were unbearded Riker, it’d be a closer match, but still not much of a contest. Riker’s cry would be “I dont’ want to know that McCoy.”
mccoy is an ex-rancher and probably wrestled & killed cows with his bare hands. his older self is all reinforced with metal, too so he’s basically wolverine. riker is a lapdog for a LARPer, which picard’s fondness for the holodeck proves him to be.
C’mon, you’re ridiculous! That’s ridiculous! He’s a crotchety old man! Riker is young and strong and trains on holodecks! McCoy doesn’t have a holodeck! Whenever he’s beamed down on the away team, he’s always the first to beam back and go take care of some Timmy Redshirt. He’s a practically a woman. A woman! And I think we all have a pretty good idea of how Riker treats his woman. Harshly. The dude has fist-fought Klingons — a head of security Klingon, no less — and came out with his life and his pride still intact! What has friggin’ Bones fought? Nothing. He needs bones cause Riker would break all of them.
McCoy winning… Ridiculous!
“Look me in the beard when you’re talking to me, son.”
you’re just a beardist.
I don’t know about Riker, on paper it might seem like an easy fight for him but he’s from the safe and sterile Star Trek era.
McCoy is from the gritty frontiersmen star trek, plus I’m sure he’s been in enough brawls with Kirk hanging around that he’s got some hand-to-hand skills.
Riker is going to put up his fist and prepare to fight like a gentleman, where as McCoy is going to kick him in the shin and punch him in the throat.

have you ever even seen an episode with mccoy? he could teach riker many things about being a gentleman.
Right. Cause he’s a goddam pansy. Riker wins, no contest. No question. Anyone saying McCoy has a chance are just fanboying over the original series and aren’t treating the question with any objective logic. Spock would agree with me.

the question itself isn’t even logical. Riker would obviously be closer-matched to Spock. and Spock would kill that motherfucker.
We can at least agree on that.
