In a Fighting Arena setting, Who would be the winner if these 3 warriors were pitted against each other? (Just for a bit of fun, Please no stick up the backside remarks)


1. Maximus Decimus Meridius - from the movie Gladiator

General Maximus Decimus Meridius, is betrayed when the Emperor's ambitious son, Commodus, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus rises through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena to avenge the murder of his family and his Emperor.

2. Spartacus

Spartacus was the most notable leader of the slaves in the Third Servile War, a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Little is known about Spartacus beyond the events of the war, and surviving historical accounts are sometimes contradictory and may not always be reliable.

Spartacus' struggle, often seen as oppressed people fighting for their freedom against a slave-owning aristocracy, has found new meaning for modern writers since the 19th century. The rebellion of Spartacus has proven inspirational to many modern literary and political writers, making Spartacus a folk hero among cultures both ancient and modern.

3. King Leonidas.

Leonidas (pronounced /liːˈɒnɨdəs/,[1] Greek: Λεωνίδας, Leōnidas, literally "lion's son") was a king of Sparta, the 17th of the Agiad line, one of the sons of King Anaxandridas II of Sparta, who was believed in mythology to be a descendant of Heracles, possessing much of the latter's strength and bravery. While it has been established that King Leonidas of Sparta died at the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, very little is known about the year of his birth, or for that matter, his formative years. Paul Cartledge has narrowed the date of the birth of King Leonidas to around 540 BC.

- I'm aware 1 of the characters is fictitious
- If you have the imagination to pit historical accuracy against Fiction this could be fun
 
Hmmm tough one, good idea though :D

I would say between 1 and 3... I love the Spartacus show, but imo he is lucky/helped out most of the time and would get done over by either of the other two
 
1. I think he's a better leader than fighter.
2. Even though he's supposed to be the best many of his fights were won by luck.
3. Total mad man killing machine.

So No 3 for me.
 
Easily Spartacus. he would be trained to fight in single combat, know all the dirty tricks and be used to a hard, hard life. Leonidas, despite being a Spartan and having to go through the tough Agoge system was still a king and would be better trained as part of phalanxial fighting amongst the ranks. Undoubtedly, good in single combat too I still think he'd miss out.

Same goes for Russell.
 
Have to be 2, but only just.
Maximus is a General more so than a fighter.

Spartacus is amazing, he can defeat monsters, but he'd often be helped out by Varro. However, he has the passion and the fire within him to continue going when all is lost and more often than not he would turn a fight around. He fights for love, is there a stronger motivation? (dawwh)

Leonidas is a brute of a man, and is an amalgamation of Maximus and Spartacus. He has both of their good traits. Again he's a leader, indeed a king (and thus more suited to rank and file fighting than one on one combat), moreover than a fighter and feel without his army or at least a couple of pals he'd fail to overcome Spartacus' fight and willingness to win.

Nice thread!
 
I’d take Spartacus as my ring man, Leonidas as my army man and Maximus Decimus Meridius could carry his chocolates.
 
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
