I’d bet on Joe winning. Trump would flail around, then brag afterwards about how he’d won despite having been held in a chokehold for five minutes.

It think that Biden would have the agility and stamina to beat Trump. I would not want to be around for the whining after the fight. I think we might even hear Trump say it was bone spurs. I’m surprised we didn’t hear it about the walk down the ramp.

Biden has better health, more strength and likely better experience. But Trump has at least 50lbs on Biden if not more which counts for a lot if it turned into a grapple/wrestling thing.

If they ever revive _Celebrity Deathmatch_, this is one fight I’d like to see.

Trump is a coward and would probably fold instantly.

This whole thread takes on new meaning now we know Trump was infected during the debate.

Trump went to Military School, so most likely has some knowledge of fisticuffs. Biden was a lifeguard and football ‘star’, and seems more likely to cut it loose. It would be interesting, but hard to call.

I’d certainly love to watch it.

It would be an embarrassing slap fight.
