Sherlock Holmes runs the gauntlet

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.

That was because Holnes was messing with him and didn't care about ending the fight until he saw Adler.

He'd probably be stopped by Bond, and if not him, then Mills would take him out.

Yeah, Holmes was prolonging the fight on purpose, because he wanted people to bet more against him, so when he won, he would get more money.

The vid I posted, he had already been fighting that guy a while before he did his deducing thing, right?

He had. That is irrelevant to his ability to size people up instantly though.

Probably something like, this guy is confident in himself from the way he's standing, yadda yadda.

I see. So he faces off against Riggs. Riggs enters the ring, takes his shirt off, and begins to loosen up. What will Holmes deduce?

Easy: that his shoulder could becomes easily dislocated, that he probably can kick really well, and that he's a huge anti-Semite.

Riggs doesn't do anything when his shoulder is not injured to give away that it is injured.

I changed my mind, Holmes doesn't get past Riggs. Proof? LW2.

Sure, to people like you and I, but not Holmes. 😐

But if Holmes dislocates that shoulder, he's gonna work on it.

And, as usual, Riggs'll relocate it and go into rage mode. Riggs breaks mother****ers necks like they were toothpicks.

Shawn goes down hard. He was barely winning the fights in his movie and none of his opponents were Holmes caliber.

Indy takes it. Holmes can deduce all he wants, but deduce tha his opponent may be weak to nuclear weapon, if their are no kitchen appliences about. Isn't going to be terrible helpful. In other words Holmes doesn't have doesn't have the power to get threw Indy's durability.

Riggs is a skilled martial artist and a solid brawler. however those alone wouldn't put him above Holmes what puts him above Holmes is his rather unpridictable nature. Which I see Holmes evetualy being able to predict, but not soon enough.

Holmes. Durden was a decent brawler, but nothing special.

Holmes. Bond can be skilled, but more often then not relies on being stronger and tougher then his opponents. He did seem to have Holmes speed either.

Holmes. 20-30 year ago Mills likely had the skill ans speed to win, but now he has far to many exploitable physical issues.

Holmes. Bruce relies on being able to disengage, hide, and strike. WHich is not going to happen here.

Martin. He is considerably skilled, has incredible(though human level) reaction time, thinks very well on his feet, and has pulled off some very percise measuements on the fly.

Bourne. He demonstrated, though not as often verbale to size up a situation and predict behavoir the same way Holmes did, but he was faster at it, and was way tougher.

Nite-Owl. Wasn't he, Meta-human in regards to physical stats.

If Mills is in "wheres my daughter mode", he wrecks Holmes.

Probably stops at Nite Owl. He's too fast and tactical minded for everyone else.
