You claimed my examples didn't prove anything. When they clearly did.
At least you admit that you were wrong about the Nib thing. It was always about you.
Yes you showed that Cap wasn't a pure striker but still no propensity for tackling someone to the ground as Nib stated Cap WILL DO IN A FORUM FIGHT.
So basically you were arguing that if Cap had grappled then HE WILL TRY TO TACKLE SOMEONE to the ground. This is faulty logic. I have given several examples of movie fighters grappling but will never attempt to tackle someone to the ground. Hell I've seen a MMA champion (former champ in kickboxing) with grappling and ground fighting skills NEVER attempt to tackle someone to the ground. And that's real life, not movies.

2. Is loaded as Cap was implied grappling as stated in the post. I never used the term "pure". So Nib basically created a strawman with the question and hence a loaded question. Cap is primarily a striker as with some MMA fighters. Now I originally stated that Cap would solely punch or kick in reply to Nib's original ground and pound argument. But after it was mentioned that Cap has grappled then I never argued that Cap would solely punch or kick anymore. My argument became Cap tackling (which is in line with the original Comedian argument).

This post shows the story. Nothing wrong with anything I said. I originally thought Cap would solely kick and punch (definition of pure striker).
Silent comes in and shows Cap grappling which does not translate into Cap WILL ATTEMPT to tackle to the ground for the reasons I gave. So yes I didn't argue that Cap would solely kick and punch anymore. But that doesn't mean he will tackle either. It simply means that he is willing to grapple given the opportunity.
