Presidents you could take in a fight

[sys]

while they were president or in their prime?

just realized i'm so old that i need the same qualifier.  question withdrawn and i'm leaving the thread.

trump for sure. though his doughy body could probably absorb a lot of punishment for awhile. both bush's would whip my ass. barack would whip my ass. I'd destroy carter. would be a blood bath, very sad. clinton and I wouldn't even fight to begin with. I'd dismantle reagan's hollywood ass. FDR for sure.

I guarantee both Nixon and Johnson could throw hands, 5:3 odds Johnson got into multiple fights as an adult.

[Pete]

James Madison was 5'4".  I'd choose him for a fight. 

Ford played football at Michigan.  He'd rough ridin' own me.  I want no part of that animal.

I got to thinking about what presidents would at least make me work for it.

Ford- Played football at Michigan and was only 61. Seems like he would have TONS of old man strength. I'd lose this one.

W - 55 when he took office. I bet he got in quite a few scraps back in his drinking days plus now that he's sober he seems like he was in pretty good shape.

LBJ - 6'3 with HUGE hands. He would have the reach on me and I don't take punches well.

George Washington - Absolutely not. He was 57 when he took office and could apparently throw a football over a mountain (If there were footballs back then)

The physical strength mentioned by nearly every one who described Washington is so undoubted that the traditions of his climbing the walls of the Natural Bridge, throwing a stone across the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, and another into the Hudson from the top of the Palisades, pass current more from the supposed muscular power of the man than from any direct evidence.

Your current state vs when they took office. Shheesh, read the first post.

Trump, Obama, both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, no sweat. I'm not sure about Gerald Ford.

The dude didn't know how to eat a tamale. I doubt he knows how to fight. One quick punch to his throat, and you would have all the advantage you would need, D1 football player or not.

Ford was a D1 football player and in the Navy during WWII, I'm sure he got into plenty of scraps. I'm not saying you couldn't take him but you may be underestimating his ability and old man strength.

Kennedy would be a lot tougher than he looks. Taft would be the most hilarious to fight.

Disclaimer - Drug testing before hand eliminates all the pain killers Kennedy normally took.

He would be a hunchback before he got in the cage, you could win that one.

I would like for nothing more than to go back in time and whoop Millard Fillmore's ass! 

[Emo EMAW]

Truman seems like he would drop and cry at the first punch. 

Buchanan was a tall lanky puss, maybe even a homosexual. 

Harding's nickname was Winnie for fucks sake.

[Dugout DickStone]

LBJ, yikes.  Big, drunk, texas, mean.

[sonofdaxjones]

Probably all of them, but a few would be tough.

Teddy in my mind would be very tough.  Dudes that did all the stuff that he did are just naturally strong and tough, you'd pretty much have to KHTFO for the fight to be over.

Gerald Ford was a big guy.   LBJ, get a couple of whiskeys in that dude and he's another, fights not over until he's out cold guy.

I think Ike would have been another very tough out.

W, no problem, but his dad, wiry.

[sonofdaxjones]

Oh yeah, Washington, another guy that you'd definitely want to hear the background before going in, because it clearly says naturally strong dude.

Teddy was basically into mma

Teddy was basically into mma

Yeah, I mean like early Krav Maga.

Guarantee that Abe L. was not tough. Seems to me that the beard was probably like today's 'man bun.'

lincoln was a badass wrestler and about everyone from madison to teddy either attained high military rank or was enormous. you guys are really overestimating yourselves, again.

[Tobias]

franklin delano lebowski would get roughed up, think that's about it for me

[yoga-like_abana]

lbj sucked he also has a huge snoz and I think I'd focus on going after those big ole testicles hanging off of his face

[420seriouscat69]

Hillary would have never stood a chance.

I have complete awareness of my strengths and weaknesses, you buffoons.

[Asteriskhead]

I am hoping that none of you are wanting to "fight fair". That's a laughable idea. We're talking about locking horns with politicians. You're more likely to have more trouble with the small, slimey fuckers than you are the lumbering buffoons like Ford. Are you all that dense?

Ulysses Grant would break you in half.
