Who wins on an all out fight? Im gonna go with Mr White cuz he's got the brains. But Tony had a bigger team.

    Hmm....I don't know about that. But I cannot deny the Heisenberg brains. What needs more credit is Tony was not inferior, only more reactive than calculated.

    Tony, why is this even a question? :laugh:

    Walt of course. With an incompetent idiot for a partner he still took out the biggest drug empire around while running circles around the DEA and the mexican cartel. And hell, singlehandedly took out a neo-nazi camp by himself despite being in the final stages of cancer. Tony's crew would all be dead from ricin poisoning before they even knew there was a battle coming.

    This is a great question that I have found myself pondering consistently since first reading!

    The biggest difference I see is Tony was known by EVERYONE. Walt/Heisenberg was known only by a select few. Both cause elements of fear in many different ways.

    Tony Sopranos can make better offense, White can make better defense and with the right timing and supplies make a better offense that will completely own Soprano. But in an all out fight, unless theres ample supplies to make a bomb or something and a warning about the fight happening before hand, Tony will punch white till his bones start looking like granulated salt.

    Tony got emotional. For example, in one episode, he's crying in his car over a girl listening to...oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you leave me now....we never saw such moments with Mr White.

    If they're just thrown in an empty room together, Walt is a goner. If they're set up Iron Chef style with supplies to make weapons, poison, smoke screens, etc. to prepare, Tony doesn't stand a chance.
  • Tony is overweight and Walt has cancer.....head to head I think Tony would take Walt just based on how many times he got beat up in BB. I would be rooting for Walt though.

    Got to be Walt. Everyone under-estimates him.... he would know Tony's moves before Tony did!

    Any man who can repeatedly show himself in his tighty whiteys and STILL be Heisenberg wins in my book.

    One point for Tony is that they need showed him in an impossible situation that stretched belief. Walter though came through several situations that were really stretching including last episode.

    As an Italian woman, I am highly offended by the notion of some p*$$¥ chem teacher that cooks meth even being compared. Brains, yes, but too many morals. Siamo Italiano. Siamo como se dice? Oh yeah, badass

    If we're talking just one on one old fashioned street fight then Tony, but if just sneak attack war using your brain then Walter White because of the **** he knows how to make from bombs to trunk machine guns
