People seem confident that President Donald Trump would win in a fight against former Vice President Joe Biden.

I posted a poll asking people on Twitter who would win after Trump’s hilarious tweet about how Biden would go down “fast and hard, crying all the way.” The President’s tweet came in response to Obama’s VP saying he could “beat the hell” out of Trump back in the day.

More than 4,300 people voted in the poll, and 88 percent picked Trump to walk away as the winner.

I’m probably going to be in the minority here, but I think these results are outrageous. As I wrote yesterday, there are a few things to consider when looking at a potential Trump vs. Biden boxing match or MMA match:

 The first is that in fighting, such as boxing or MMA, speed and stamina are just as important if not more important than size. Biden is a little bit smaller and almost certainly in better shape. That’s a dangerous combination, especially in boxing. Just look at the McGregor/Mayweather fight. 

Trump is larger, and would likely pack a rougher hook. Yet, how much stamina would he have after three or four rounds? Here’s what I would tell each of them if I was there coach. I’d tell Trump he needs to win the boxing match before the thing hits the seventh round. End it quick. The longer it goes the more likely it is Biden hangs around.

Could Trump win? Of course he could, but there’s zero shot this match would become a blowout. No chance at all. We’re not exactly analyzing a situation where one guy is an elite athlete and the other is a complete slouch. This isn’t a George W. Bush vs. FDR kind of potential situation. I think voters are a little too eager here to just want a Trump victory, and are ignoring the important issues, as stated above, when it comes to boxing and fighting.

Lastly, how much money would this fight make in ticket sales and pay-per-view? One billion? Two billion? Five billion? Trump should challenge him to a fight and then promise to donate all the money to the troops. That would really force “Crazy Joe Biden” into a corner.

It’s only March, and 2018 is going better than I could have ever dreamed!
