Russell Crowe's Gladiator Vs. Brad Pitt's Achilles

I'm removing the possibility of Achilles being invulnerable apart from his heel.

Win by any means necessary.

Morals: OFF

Bloodlust: ON

Setting: Circular coliseum

Already been done.

For me it's a draw and a mutual kill.

Achilles is faster, but Maximus is tougher. He can hold his own with a mortal wound and he's quite ruthless and skilled enough to kill his achilles with the slightest opening.

I feel like Achilles handled his fights a lot easier then Maximus and has better feats like his spear through and jump kill.

I think Achilles has this fight.

Achilles.

@rogueshadow: Why?

@leo-343: Why?

Achilles was way more skilled, going with him.

@green_skaar: Reasons to believe Achilles is more skilled?

@deus: Achilles

Maximum all day long

Just watching the two movies? It's been a while, but I was more impressed with Achilles. He pretty much toyed with everyone he fought. Don't have a bunch of scans or in depth analysis, sorry bud.

@rolanddeschaingokughostrider: Reasons?

@gingerpenny: Reasons?

@deus: Maximus is a general of the Roman army, he defeated four of the army's best fighters with his hands bound, and killed an extremely skilled opponent with a bleeding lung....Maximus....FTW

Achilles... But if William Wallace were there, he'd destroy them with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts from his arse.

Achilles stomps, his invulnerable except by being poisoned or stabbed at the heel of his foot;

but since we're removing Achilles' biggest ace it's probably Maximus who wins here even though Achilles is a half-god.

Maximus. He's got nothing to lose which is the most scariest of opponents.

Achilles. He's a more skilled fighter.

Very rational argument you have there.

Not..

LMAO.

Achilles destroys Maximus just like any Spartan would destroy a Roman.

Maximus by far

Yours as well...oh. Wait. You have none. Sorry about that. Thought you actually contributed to the thread. Never mind, then. Carry on.

Apology is noted. Acceptance is pending :)

Maximus wins and he is more skilled

brad pitt

@monsterstomp: Holding my breath. Not. :)

Achilles, he's more skilled, arguably faster (based on movie feats), and seems to have more experience although but I can't recall statements about either in that department.

Probably an even split between them, Achilles is slightly faster but Maximus can take some absurd punishment and still keep going, and skill between them is probably a toss up or if there is an edge it's slight. Also I have no idea why people are saying movie Achilles is invulnerable, he was hurt and killed by normal arrows when Paris shot him. Movie Achilles was just a very skilled fighter, so good that people thought he was invulnerable/a demi-god.

Anyone saying maximus doesn't know what he is talking about, Achilles STOMPS hard, he is way more skilled and fought a lot more enemies simultaneously than maximus ever did

sorry what?? did you even watch the movies?

Achilles wins. He was toying with his opponents.

Tough call, but I'd say Achilles is more skilled and has more finesse in battle. Maximus on the other hand is more of a badass. His best combat feat, for me, is when he took on several "gladiators" at the same time prior to him going back to Rome. To be fair though, those gladiators were clearly afraid of him and he faced them one at a time, they didn't gang up on him.

Also, been done.
