    Default Favorite H2H fighters ... in Sitcoms

    Stemming from a conversation i had w. a friend today about how Fonzie was basically a low level metahuman. We then got on the tangent of how even discounting his super powers Fonzie was a skilled h2h combatant.

    Which got us to thinking on other sitcom characters w. h2h skills.
    Along w. Fonzie, there was also Carmine Ragusa (The Big Ragu!) from Laverne & Shirley, who was Golden Gloves boxing champion of Milwaukee.

    I think my favorite Sitcom fighter is Sasha Mitchell as Cody Lambert on Step By Step.
    Such a goofy character having legit martial arts skills was really fun to see, the few times he got to show them off in the series.

    Definitely LaVerne Defazio. Also Pinky Tuscadoro. On the low end, put Shirley Feeney. She beat up a number of young women, one time even with a vitamin deficiency and another being ill recently.

    Bull Shannon (nightcourt)
    - he's essentially a low level meta with a touch of the toon force.

    I think she did, lol! OK, put her after LaVerne as was plucky and not only fought off "that giant creature" but also half of the farm girls. Shirley was tough!

    ^^^dont think I ever saw him fight, but I remember Lou Ferrigno was on the show once, and Bull just reached down and picked him up like I would a kid. Very impressive!

    EDIT
    Found a pic of it.

    I enjoy how he was always twisting Dan in a human pretzel or something.

    I also love how Florence, I cant remember the grey haired woman's name (Silvia?) And Roz who was a baddass in her own right kept him in check and ordered him around.

    Its more then respect. There was a lot of love. Richard Moll talked about the deep friendship he had with the Florence Halop on the short time she was on the show and how he fell into a very deep depression when she passed away. And how he was unsure if he was going to come back to the show. I thought it was really sweet.
