People should be forced to pass a test to prove they understand the meaning of the term 'hardest' before being allowed to vote. It will be the same old story: "But an Orca would just eat the Honey Badger." Imbeciles.

Agreed. That way they'd learn there's more to hardness than just being a bit chippy. No one would ever say the pissed pub brawler was harder than an S.A.S would they?

As for Vicente. Lets hope he plays, along with Lua Lua and Barnes both of who seem to have developed a great understanding with him.

Far more complex than that.

Who's harder? A midget who takes on a massive gang of men, or an S.A.S who shoots a little girl in the face? All about context. Clearly in the above case, the midget is much, much harder than the SAS man.

Also, by your logic of just "who does the most damage?", HUMANS should win every single year comfortably, should they not? They can just NUKE anything.

The midget might take on a massive gang of men but would get battered senseless. That's not hard, that's just stupid. You could drop an S.A.S into the jungle or desert and he'd be able to survive and fight his way out of trouble. The midget couldn't.

I am not and never have argued that hardness is only about who does the most damage. Many things go into it including fearlessness and a willingness to take on a superior force but they are not the be all and end all.

Vicente agrees with me. FACT.

But that's the point! The Honey Badger takes on things it shouldn't, and WINS!

The honey badger comes swinging at bigger things, who look, laugh and wander away form the napoleon complexed buffoon.

But, the WHC tournament is months away, so we should probably keep our powder dry for then and not turn a vicente thread into a honeybadger one...

Although Vicente obviously agrees with me. Being muscular, aggressive and getting stuck in is so not his style...
