Palahniuk. I want him to punch me as hard as he can.

Or maybe that faggot who wrote Bronze Age Mindset hiding behind a pseudonym. Honestly any 'might makes right' edgy author will do.

Definitely Nabakov. He was a trained boxer so he would put up a good fight, and it would be nice to knock the arrogant fucker down a peg.

You'd get your teeth smashed into your throat. Fighting people who box and wrestle is begging to get manhandled.

not him but I also box so I would beat him up

This is true, but Nabakov was about 5'9 and seemed to favor the cross-guard, his age also predates back to when people favored bending at the waste to avoid rather than ducking to slip and roll under punches, which was more cumbersome, and less mobile. I'm confident enough in my own boxing (and my significant height and weight advantage) that I could take him.

Everyone from the past was a malnourished midge. The bones in their hands would shatter if they tried to punch me.

Physical and bone strength have been decreasing over time. They may have had less nutrition, but they had significantly higher testosterone.

>When Joyce and Hemmingway went through the bars in Paris, a drunk Joyce would often get into arguments with strangers
>as the argument threatened to get violent, Joyce would hide behind Hemmingway's broad back and yell out "Deal with him, Hemmingway, deal with him!"
I guess Joyce would be an easy pick, unless he gets to summon Hemmingway into the ring. Then it would be an Ornstein and Smough scenario, which could be fun, but I might end up dead.

Joyce sounds like a right cunt. Would gladly get drunk with him
