So who wins in a punchfest - the smartest man of the Watchmen world or the super soldier of F&F?

I was simply being dramatic. I intended a fistfight, I didn't know punchfest=slugfest
If it means the same as a slugfest, it's two guys taking turns on hitting one while the other stands and takes the hits till one is KOd

They had to deal w. Brixton’s punches, which were shown to be more than human, he had to deal w. theirs, which, while obscenely cartoonish at times, are still human, by F&F standards, so yeah, your statement actually makes sense.
Now, the question is, what Ozy feats show he’d be capable of taking Brixton’s punches.
I never argued that Ozy wins here. Just that Brixton isn't as durable as he is strong. Brixton hits harder than either Hobbs or Shaw. That's a fact. But they can take his punches and he can't take their punches.
Ozy took about 3-4 haymakers from Niteowl without being affected. It took a few more just to cause a minor abrasion on his cheek bone and a few more to get a minor laceration on his lip.
I would say Hobbs and Shaw have better durability than Ozy but Ozy isn't a slouch. Ozy is at least as strong as either Hobbs or Shaw.
^^^Oh no, i was just saying you’d made a good observation, one I hadn’t thought of previously.
The rest of my post was just me thinking out loud, not to you in particular.
^^^Again, good point(s). We saw Nite Owl’s striking be pretty devastating in other fight scenes.
Personally I wouldn’t rate Nite Owl as stronger than Hobbs based on striking feats, as Hobbs has legit strength feats, an argument for comparable striking is for sure there!
I think Brixton being unable to take repeated hits had more to do with the sensitive computer bits in his head than anything else. Because no one seemed to be inflicting more than superficial physical damage on each other. But Brixton's AI was getting scrambled from repeated hits. Plus, we also see him shrug off a number of other things throughout the film, like Hobbs crashing on top of him into a car, having the SUV flipped onto him, all that stuff collapsed onto him when they were fighting on the back of the truck and smashing through a bus at one point. So, it seemed to me that his physical durability was pretty good but his more intricate cranial/ocular implants not so much. Basically, you need to go for the head, as Thanos would put it.
