Wasn't Marsellus Wallace's only combat feat getting his ass beat by Bruce Willis? Granted, Willis' character was a professional boxer.
They're both the same height (six feet) but Tony tends to win most fights he gets into, though granted typically while starting with a sucker punch and against guys smaller than him. When he fought the similarly-sized Bobby he ultimately lost.
Still, he does have some decent feats like taking on a much younger and musclebound thug after goading him into a fight while still recovering from his shooting and he was able to turn the tables on and kill one of the hitmen sent to kill him in the first season after he was already shot.
Tony's overrated as a fighter by the Sopranos fanbase but he still has more going for him than a relatively unknown quantity like Wallace.
Should be noted that before Wallace got his ass beat by a professional boxer, he was run over by an early 1980s Honda Civic and was all dazed and confused.
So while Wallace doesn't have any good combat feats, he has high damage soak.
Sure, but Willis also didn't take that crash unscathed and broke his nose and appeared to injure his leg going by the limp. He wasn't at his best either.
Not that it matters, simply being an accomplished professional boxer should give Willis the win against Tony as well.
Tony having actual fight feats as well as damage soak showings of his own should clinch him a comfortable win though.
As a die hard, mega, ultra Sopranos fan who has seen every episode multiple times, it’s just too hard to say because of limited screen feats.
Marcellus has absolutely zero screen feats of fighting, save for getting his ass whipped by Butch, a professional fighter, only after being hit head on by a Honda Civic. If anything, Marcellus has good damage soak.
To reaffirm his tough guy dominance, Tony beat up a younger kid after recovering from a near fatal gun shot and multiple surgeries. After that, Tony showed signs of weakness at the wedding of Johnny Sack’s daughter and also got his ass beat by Bobby, his brother in law, during a drunken brawl.
I’ll give it to Tony, but only because of screen feats.
