@Super_SoldierXII:
Alone, Rama would have clearly lost to Mad Dog IMHO.
Absolutely true. However, part of me wonders if endurance played any role at that point. I know the film isn't exactly laced with realism, but Rama has been through an incredible ordeal before facing Mad Dog, where-as Mad Dog only had his fight with Jaka (albeit an awesome fight). Furthermore, Rama was unarmed in that battle. Now, Rama is sporting that combat knife and nightstick. I figured it would be mandatory to help compensate for Wayne's armor and Bond's raw power.
Bond's done well hand to hand against 'gimmicky' martial artists in past films, though I don't remember seeing him handle two good to great martial artists at the same time as Mad Dog (almost) did.
I won't lie - I haven't watched Casino Royale in quite some time and unfortunately I didn't like QoS. I was hoping to find an action sequence or two on Youtube to refresh my memory, but I had no such luck. Based on what I do remember, I'd say he's likely the "brick" of this battle. Disputably the slowest and least skilled, but quite a force if he can connect and might thrive in this environment.
Ra's and Bane are both more impressive cinematic antagonists than either Rama or Mad Dog
Physically speaking, yes. In terms of skill, I can't say we're in agreement.
... when a haymaker punches a hole in a concrete wallBatman takes a combo like it's nothing and when Batman soaks numerous of those blows, I think Mad Dog and / or Rama will find themselves lacking the 'umph' to put him down before they get put down.
I think this holds true for Mad Dog, but not Rama. We've seen at least twice now his armor doesn't hold up well to stabbing damage, and that's something we've seen Rama frequently deploy. While I concur Mad Dog will have a difficult time dropping Wayne (if at all), I think his speed, pain tolerance and skill means he's more than capable of giving Wayne a tough time and keeping him occupied.
