Sentry vs. Classic Hal Jordan

Well, obviously the winner is Sentry when he jizzes the opponents weakness.

But Sentry isn't exactly skilled in using his powers, and as I said in the post you quoted, was there not a time when Hal still had the weakness, but was able to somewhat deal with it in his classic incarnation?

How else would be beat Sinestro.

Which proves me to be correct in my assumption.

Of course he can fight the yellow... but then you have to factor in Sentry's durability, strength, etc. Sentry won't be hindered by anything, Hal basically has to fight two things for this battle.

Yea, but Sentry would not start off with energy attacks, and without the yellow hindrance Hal would beat him handedly. Add in Hal's proficiency with his ring and fighting in general, compared to Sentry's and I see a pretty even fight.

Of course, but it's in this fight.

OK.

Frigging yellow. I hate to say it, but Sentry probably takes this one handily.

Spite Sentry takes it with little effort.

Yo.

Sinestro

Goldface

Javelin

3 guys who tried to exploit the YW.......and Hal beat them ALL, and on top of that Goldface was a brick who has gone toe-2-toe w/Supes on occasion.

yea, I side w/Hal here.

These wins could have been from circumstance.

Most of those fights Hal got freakin stomp fore the big win.. I think Sentry's strength far surpasses those 3 combined let alone 1 to 1..

Sentry uniform alone would scare the heck out of Hal.. lol

There aren't a lot of indirect ways for Hal to hurt Sentry.

Then again back in the day Hal did things like stealing his reflection from a mirror and stopping time.

Hal during 'Emerald Twilight' was stomped on by Mongul. The yellow weakness was giving him an extraordinarily hard time in fighting him because of his yellow skin. He finally used Steel's hammer and a strength enhancing exoskeleton GL construct to beat Mongul.

It's not a curbstomp, since Hal has beaten tough foes who were yellow. But it certainly wouldn't be easy. Sentry has insane durability. All those WWH punches he took? Those punches one-shotted Ares, She-Hulk, Thing, crushed Invisible Woman's shields in 3 hits, nearly murdered Hercules in 3 hits and dented classic Juggernaut's armor. And Sentry didn't even try to roll with any of those punches!

Sentry 8/10.

Oh... it be possible, alright:

Yeah but, yeah but... Damn that WWH.

JK.

Unlike most I thoroughly admit he on a physical WWH is unmatched period. And that my friends is yet another example of it.

Juggernaut's helmet has been crushed and destroyed before. Doesn't hurt Juggs in the slightest. Different writers have different takes on the helmet's durability. While I think it's BS, it's a far cry from hurting the Juggernaut.

Yo.

no, alot if not ALL of them have been becuz using yellow isnt an auto-win, just a stacking of the deck.

of course, this doesnt speak of the fact that Hal was kicking the crap outta Mongul by channelling the energy thru his body, and only started to lose due to him being distracted with the knowledge that destruction of the various machinery would kill Superman fighting in the next chamber by releasing k-rock gas into it.

granted, he ended up resorting to making that exosuit & Steels hammer, but lets note that he KTFO'd Mongul with that single hit using it.

Sentry didnt try to role w/any of those punches becuz he was just there to slug it out; "rolling with it" isnt something that gets done in a slugfest.

and granted he has a high durability, but Im not convinced his durability is beyond Supermans, and I give Hal *good odds* at beating him (even w/o using k-rays).
