which elite marathoner would you pick to win in a street fight?

The first picture is incredible! Its kind of hard to tell how far apart they are but if I were Rohatinsky in that picture I would be worried about Jenkins ripping my arms and legs off. Does anyone know the hight and weight of both those guys.

Rosie Ruiz.

Her weapon of choice is a bus.

Jenkins is

6ft to 6ft 1inches

and weighs anywhere from 160-175lbs. the very low 160's is is racing weight I believe.

lets hope it doesn't look like this!

Not sure where you got that definition from, but if you look at NFL quarterbacks, most fans would not consider players like Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, or Derek Anderson elite and that is the equivalent level to Sell with marathoning.

I thought you could not say anything more stupid than your first post, but you managed.

This is who I immediately thought of and this guy hasn't raced for about twenty years. I remember an article about him in RW. Didn't he have two dobermans named Hitler and Stalin or something like that?

That doesn't mean that he is tough. It just means that he is a liberal.

Ain't nobody tougher than Emil Zatopek. If you've read about the training he did, you know he'd find a way to win a street fight.

Joan Benoit Samuelson. Toughest runnner ever. She'd figure out a way.

I'll take Ryan Hall with the reach advantage over Ritzenhein.

This is an obvious troll as these are some of the least intimidating runners of all time. It is more likely to see Ritz and Sell in a slap fight with Hall praying for their salvation.

Solinsky whenever he runs one. He is about the only elite distance guy that doesn't look like a little fairy up close.

Any of the Mexican marathoners, and that guy from New Zealand who set all his PR's as a master in the late 1980's. I believe his last name was Campbell but I am not sure.
