To be fair, your average 65 year-old is not going to beat your average 51 year-old in a fistfight. That's a fairly substantial age gap. It would have made a bit more sense if they put Obama against Ryan and Romney against Biden.

Although, even if they were the same age, I think Obama laying the smack down on Romney would be a pretty safe bet.

Nah, the cops would shoot him first.

Age difference is a problem, but if Obama's punching is anything like his pitching then it might not be so unequal after all.

This is almost as bad as a BRTD poll.

Neither would be athletic or strong enough to actually hurt the other - it would immediately degenerate into ineffectual slaps or pathetic grappling.

Biden would beat Romney in a fistfight, while Obama would be thrashed by Ryan.

Obama would hopefully then pin Romney down and cut his ugly hair in front of all his friends.

Obama would get the vapors and faint before Mitt landed a punch.

Google the names of the two major party nominees from the last four or five elections, followed by the word 'fistfight'.  This area of interest is not new, especially with politics being purely about the confrontation these days, and most people not knowing or caring about policy differences.

Oh I'm sorry, should I have included a My Little Pony reference to make it less stupid for you?

The Inks? Huh

It's not your poll, I'm not blaming you for its stupidity. And My Little Pony has nothing to do with the presidential election, either...

In order, from worst to best at fistfight:

Romney
Obama
Biden
Ryan

Giant gaps between all of them.
