@Guardiandevil83: I have to agree with you, in that it is a complete debate as to who is more agile. With Frank Martin leaping between cars, skating on oil and wrecking people; and Ting with his running up walls, his insane jump kicks and ground techniques, its a complete toss up. Its a tie in agility.
I also have to say that strength goes to Frank Martin. He is clearly the stronger of the two individuals. His ability to physically overpower enemies larger than him proves this. Ting's ability to grapple and throw men off-balance was due to finess, and not necessarily strength. Ting was very strong for his size, but so was Frank, and since Frank is clearly the larger, he is stronger.
Another tie would have to go to their determination or unstopability (thats a word, right?). Neither show the slightest signs of weariness, just varying degrees of gall. They both took immense amount of damage, and were able to fight through it.
But, I have to disagree as to who is more skilled/trained as a fighter. I do not think that it is equal. Frank Martin was a very well trained X-military martial-artist. That scene when he fights the gang while hampered by an oil slick was flippin awesome; however, In Ong Bak 2, in the greatest 2 minutes of fight coreography I have ever seen, Ting fought 2 assailants using 2 different styles of fighting (Wing Chunn and Tiger Claw). In that scene he was able to adjust his technique and simultaneously use both of their styles against them. Now, that being said, Frank Martin is one of the most entertaining fighters i have seen on film, but did not see him display the same quality of technique that Ting (Tony Jaa) had in Ong Bak 2. And, I think, Ting's ability to change and alter his style, mid fight, is what makes him a more potent martial-artist, in terms of skill/training.
As to who would win.......5/10 tie, or 6/10 to Ting! In my oppinion anyway.
But, I'd like to think they dont fight, and rather star as a new duo in crime fighting. That would be an epic team-up for today's martial-arts in cinema.
MORE PEOLE NEED TO RESPOND ON THIS THREAD...GREAT BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!
