re: Who would win a fight between these two Louisiana legends?

Big Jim dominates both in a handicap match.

What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?

This really could be a classic thread, as the match being considered is much more compelling than the likes of Mr Komodo vs Mr. Mountain Lion. Let’s handicap it.

Amos Moses has the quickness of youth in his side at fully 9 years younger than Big John. That said, due to previous fight injuries, Amos’ prime came and went quicker than most with the lost arm and all. Plus, old man strength is a real thing. Additionally, though there’s a significant age difference for this kinda activity, there experience is pretty much equal. Both are 1-0.

Stylistically, there are huge, non subtle differences. Amos’ is a sneaky little bastard. We really don’t know how he disposed of Louisiana Sheriff. It was a non sanctioned event, and all we know is that arse whoopin’ Was complete. To the point of death or leaving town for Mr Sheriff.

Conversely, John’s record came in the heels of the oldest training incentives known to exist. Cajun queens. Could John harness the same energy for a fight not involving all that good poon being in the table? We all know many men have been able to reach deepest when Cajun queen poon was the prize, and erstwhile never seen that kinda ability again.

So, both 1-0, but under strangely different circumstances. We do know that if John can somehow harnesss the haymaker, it’s unstopable. It’s not subtle, and only needs to load once. That huge right hand of his is (no embellishment) legendary.

The more I think about this, the more I gotta say Amos has got this. Think about it.......he’s a one armed Cajun Jew. Could there be any more resourceful man alive on the planet? He’s already proven to be completely creative in these situations, whereas John - for all we know - doesn’t have enough dog in this fight that would summon the proper amount of fight in the dog. I’m quite sure Amos would somehow rig a blade or somesuch to his stump of an elbow, thus turning an ostensible handicap into an advantage - again - resourcefulness.

Anyone going w/John is buying fools gold, and is clearly letting John’s 6’ 6” 245 lanky but muscular frame cloud their better judgement of the ability of a monopolegic Hebrew with the Cajun roots that have served him well over the years - all the way from cop killer to alligator bait.

Vegas will likely be all over John here - he looks so good on the hoof. We’ve got a chance to double up on the mtg pmt here baws. Likely the financial opportunity of the year when these two finally get ready to rumble.

Kinda sounds like the OT.

My money is on Big John. Amos Moses only had one arm.

Sue whips both their asses.

Not trying to be rude, but you really need to look at my assessment. His stomp of an arm will not hurt him at all, and could possibly help.

You and I see this the same way. IMHO, underestimating a left arm cut clean off to the elbow could absolutely be a man’s undoing, as the potential for Cajun engineering an implement or weapon thereto are only limited by the creators imagination. Amos is basically working with a ratchet to which any number of sockets, fittings, or damage doing devices can be attached. I really don’t think John’s chiseled frame would stand a chance.

They better hope Marie Laveau isn't the referee or they might both be gone.

What makes you think he's Jewish?

His name is Amos Moses Millsap. Son of "Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah".

"Millsap" is not a common Jewish name.

Anyway, I'm with you on the fact that he would win. Dude lives by himself in a swamp, clearly has anti-social tendencies, rather misanthropic. Has no fear and no respect for authority; thinks nothing of the consequences of taking out a LA sheriff.

Big John is more of a gentle giant.
