Anton Chigurh, it’s not even a contest. Lechter is a guy who plays mindgames, Chigurh is not susceptible to mindgames in that way. I don’t understand why anyone thinks Lechter is that badass. Brains and brawn aren’t that relevant in a steal cage match. There’s kind of a point of diminishing returns and Chigurh is plenty smart. Basically you’re asking to put them in an element that favors Chigurh and makes Lechter’s skills kind of irrelevant.
Lechter hurting people is a matter of commitment, not badassness, and Chigurh is just as committed as Lechter any day of the week. In a steel cage deathmatch it’s about commitment and just the ability to fight. Anton Chigurh is physically more badass than Hannibal Lechter.
