Sherlock Holmes runs the gauntlet

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is put against the following in strict H2H combat i.e. no weapons. The setting is the same place shown in the picture above, where Holmes pwns that bald dude. The list is as follows:

1. Shawn MacArthur (Fighting)
2. Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones films)
3. Martin Riggs (Lethal Weapon)
4. Tyler Durden (Fight Club)
5. James Bond (Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace)
6. Bryan Mills (Taken)
7. Bruce Wayne (Batman Begins/The Dark Knight)
8. Frank Martin (Transporter)
9. Jason Bourne (Bourne Trilogy)
10. Nite Owl w/o armor (Watchmen)

How far does Holmes make it? If he doesn't clear, how will he fare against each of the combatants on the list individually?

Why is Durden rated higher than Jones and Riggs?

I seem to remember Durden being a pretty hardass brawler, i.e. crazy damage soak, but then again haven't seen Indiana Jones and Lethal Weapon in a while. If memory serves they are all more or less brawlers aren't they?

You could be right about the misplacing though, but would it affect Holmes's performance here in any way?

BTW have you seen Sherlock Holmes yet?

Indy is a brawler, Riggs is a badass martial artist.

I just thought the gauntlet would get harder as he progressed.

Nope.

You mean that slow-mo precog thing? Yeah that's allowed.

That wasn't precog, man, the guy in the vid telegraphed the hell outta his punches and was easy to predict. Deducing haermm Yeah, see if Bond gives him the chance.

I only saw the one fight scene, for now I say he gets pwned by Bond, IF he gets that far.

He took another guy out by deducing things wrong with him before the fight started, and he took him down in about 3 seconds.

His deducing thing works, and it will work on most, if not all these guys.

And what exactly was "wrong" with the guy? What did Holmes "deduce?"

He saw him from a dark corner, and the guys back was turned. He figured he was deaf in one ear, and about 3 or 4 other problems in a few seconds. Then he capitalized on it and ko'd him in the next few seconds.

And how did he figure the guy was deaf? And what else was wrong with him?

I can't remember what else, he said it in quick British, which I couldn't understand all of it.

And I can't remember how he figured it out, go watch the movie and become a believer.

YOU CAN'T DOUBT SHERLOCK HOLMES!!!!!!!!!

I know, bear in mind that I am going just with what I see in the vid, but I have been told here that the vid is one of his more impressive feats. Not enough to make it past Bond IMO.

Yes, it is one of his more impressive feats, and remember, Holmes deduced what he would do before he even really got his punches going.

By the way he held his head to listen.

Holmes is the supreme master at paying attention to detail, even the smallest doesn't escape him, he can glance at you and size you up, just like that.

EG If he was fighting you, he'd immediately deduce you're a homosexual. So he'd whip his dick out, knowing you'd uncontrollably look down and begin to salivate; he'd use this distraction to jab you in the eye with right thumb, slam into your temple with left palm, thereby disorientating and drop you with a heel-kick that breaks your kneecap. This is (Downey) Holmes.

Mills has a very particular set of skills. He uses those to thrash Holmes.

That ex-Jedi seemed to take a thrashing in every fight, regardless of whether he won or not. He also had this weird thing about shooting people in the neck.
