I'd definitely give this fight to Raph and Leo. Leo is the leader and was the best fighter out of the group, but I think Raph is at least on his level now after seeing the most recent movie which was written by the same writers as the original comic run. Raphael beats Leonardo in a close fight on the rooftops of the city.
Mikey is the most naturally athletic of the group and would be hard to take down, but I think Donatello is going to be more of a hindrance to him than help, which is mostly why he loses. I also think that Leo and Raphael- at present- are better than the other two. That could change with the next installment.

While I agree that Team 1 wins, you really can't go too much by the recent movie (I saw it, too).
They showed basically ZERO feats from Mikey or Donny. There's nothing with which to compare. Did you notice this, too? The movie might as well have been called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Leonardo and Raphael". 😬

fact is Raph was made to counter Leo as Sais work best against katanas.
They wouldn't fair as well against a bo or nunchucks.

Definitely can't agree with half of that.I'll agree that Leo can take Mikey, but Donatello would definitely take the majority against Raph.
no way, don is one of my favorites but he is the less skilled, he would loose to raph, althou with prep he can take the 3 of them at the same time
That's actually a good point about Raphael's weapons being perfectly created to defeat Leonardo's weapons and I admit that I hadn't thought about that. As for the movie not counting, it definitely is just as credible as the original comic runs seeing as how its from Eastman and Laird, the two original writers, and the original comics focused on Raphael and Leonardo as well. Mikey and Donny didn't even have names in the first run.
Raphael has never fought against Mikey so its impossible to say who would win, although I think Raphael is the best turtle, but I think Donatello is the worste, although his weapon is very effective. There are official profiles up the whazoo hinting that he trains the least and is the least focused on combat. Leo trains the most but Raph fights the most so I think those two are the best, though Mikey has the most natural ability.

i remember in the cartoon they were all in a tournament and mike won the compation. he beat raph and went on to win
I wouldn't call that a fight. Mikey taunted Raph till he lost his temper and dove for him and he lost the fight when he hit the ground, Mikey didnt beat him at all. Furthermore, that series was not written by the creators like the new TMNT movie was.

Leo's schooled them all before when he's serious. So this is a stomp. He and Raph are much deadlier with their weapons.
Mikey won tournament of champions.
Also, in my OP, I said they fight to their FULL potential, so Mikey would be hands down the best fighter.
Originally posted by python99He would never fight his brother like he would fight a villain either. He was schooling him until he saw it was Raph. That's like I'm in a race and my tires burst.

The reason it happened was to further the story. If Leo simply beat Raph, Raph's character wouldn't have changed, but if he was in the lesser position Raph would feel guilty instead of defying him for no reason.

Mikey won by lots of luck in his favor.
