Tony Danza vs. Mickey Rourk

[Saintpat]

Hollywood Championship, "prime vs. prime" at catchweights.

Who wins?

[CANNONBALL]

Danza KO 1


CUZ HE'S THE BOSS!

[Johnstown]

I dont think this is a "classic" question (thought i guess they are both pro boxers from the past) but Danza has a much more legit fighting background...Rourke would only have about 10 pounds on Danza (yes i am saying let Rourke come in at his fight weight of 17 Rourke will find out Who's the Boss as he is laid up in a hospital bed for 9 and a half weeks.

[Johnstown]

many of Rourkes wins where either full on dives or really suspect guys...Danza fougth some legit fighters..and won.

[MAG1965]

I would say Danza. I heard that he was legit. more than Mickey was.

[MadcapMaxie]

Danza and quickly.

Jack Pallance beats both the same night .

[Johnstown]

yeah id say Pallance would..legit 200 pound fighter who was at least as good pound for pound as Danza and likely better.

[Johnstown]

prime bob hope likely beats mickey rourkes ass as well..that would be a fun thread..name people who would kick the shit out of rourke

[Boxed Ears]

None of these mufuckas got anything on prime Ron Palillo. You noobs think Palillo was in his prime against Diamond. Up all ya'll's noses with rubber hoses, mufuckas. That was like Ali/Berbick bein' treated like Ali/Foreman.

[Colonel Sanders]

Rourke wins by brutal blowjob.

[Johnstown]

if you go on box rec danza's record is actually pretty good

[The Spider]

Have watched some footage of Danza and he went alright.

That's a pretty witty post, funny as hell.

[D9Garrard]

Don't know if Danza's KO of Max Hord was legit, but Hord was a pretty sturdy journeyman and says something about Danza having some talent and punching power.

If Hollywood's an all-embracing term for show biz, S, include Mario Lopez. He was a helluva HS wrestler; plus he opened eyes of gym rats regularly sparring at Wild Card a few years later, dropping, stopping 'n KO'ng top amateur 'n pro talent

There are so many intangibles to being a good pro, i rarely go out on a limb for a prospect (one day over a beer, we can talk about Jack Palance, Paul Newman 'n a host of others; but with one qualifier (if Mario had started boxing much earlier, just off his punching power alone, he could've been a crowd-pleasing contender, amateur or pro. He's truly a baby-faced assassin.)
