Who would win in a fight: a quadriplegic or a quadruple amputee?

Now I know what you’re thinking: Ender. Duh. Quadruple amputee no contest. He’s got the speed and he’s got the full range of motion (such that it is) to pull of some wicked moves like the Empty-Nelson. But really, I don’t think you can count the quadriplegic out of this fight.
First off, the guy is in an entirely different weight class. Secondly, he still has control of his head which he’s no doubt strengthed to the point where his headbutts are like a steel 2x4 attached to a hydrolic lever. Oh, and also, he may very well have a nurse there to tag team. Dirty pool? Mayhaps. But alls fair in a war of attrition such as this.

But what say you all?

Quadriplegics all have different ability in motion/control depending on their injury. At least that is what I learned from Murderball. Some can at least somewhat use their limbs which would change the dynamics of the fight.

Quadriplegic…

Stephen Hawking, 'nuff said.

And the polls get sillier.

Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, mind you.

I think the dishwasher would win.

The quadriplegic would have a weight advantage.

They both lose to the quadriped. ANY quadriped.

It’s just a flesh wound.

What category is he in? He has ALS or a similar affliction.

Seriously though, (:rolleyes:), I think the amputee would adopt what I call ‘the bullet strategy’. It’s like the Wildcat offense, but for stupid cage matches. Basically, the amputee revs up his wheelchair which can reach top speed due to the decreased weight. At the last second before collision, the amputee just tucks in and torpedoes himself. The key, though, is making contact with the 'plegic’s face. Otherwise, he’ll just get deflected off to the side where the 'plegic would just topple onto him, smothering his way to victory.

Can’t move any of his limbs, but they’re all present, therefore he’s a quadriplegic.

Quadriplegic takes it in a land slide. Limp as they are, the limbs are still potential weapons. He could grab a mouthful of hand and with a skilled flick of the head, slap the amputee with his dead arm.

No, no, no, no, no. You’re looking at it all wrong. It’s going to depend entirely on which one has the helper monkey.

“I’d shoot him in the knee caps just to let him know I meant business…”

I’ll go with the Amputee because I assume this is a simple fight- no wheelchairs involved no outside interference.

If he’s allowed a wheelchair, then maybe the Quad.
