Erm, seeing as a bow is hardly a melee weapon, I'd think one would have to go with Zorro...

Robin Hood. Mostly because he's pretty good with a quarterstaff, and also because he beat Guy... DANG! I forget his name! Guy Something in a swordfight.

Zorro would seem to be the early favorite, but Robin Hood would surprise him with many well aimed blows. In the end, they would both fail win the fight outright and it would be decided by the super-delegates.

Everyone knows that Zorro couldn't have sprung the Lionheart from prison!

Loxley FTW!

But Zorro is the batman of late 19th Century California...

In a case such as this: Said Batman could also not spring the Lionheart.

Given how many times Robin got his rear handed to him by his future Merry Men, I'm going to have to go with Zorro.

Besides, the sign of the Z looks so much cooler than just a lone arrow. ;)

no one would win, but this one sure would be more fun to watch then any of the who would win matchups posted so far.

no one would loose either, and they'd keep it going on for ever.

even if one or the other 'died', they'd come back from the grave and keep going, just to keep it going for their mutual amusement.

plus they could both get rich and retire from taking side bets.

Talking of Hood, how much did they screw up the new series, way to make him a freaking 'oppose the corrupt official but not the king' kinda guy.

i haven't seen it. but wasn't the guy in prison the guy who was supposed to have been the king and the guy on the throne a usurper who knaughtingham was working for? historically i mean. whether or not the legendary robin was an actual historical figure or a romantacizing of common inginuity of the repressed and their sense of right.

in tights was good for grins. the furry one was a trip for furrs. now i'm curious who wrote the first storry, presumably centuries before any of its current or even within the last 50 years implimentations.

are there folk loric origens? or did someone just find an historic situation in which they could come up with something that wouldhave couldhave shouldhave been? or was there really such an historical figure? and if the latter, how closely did they and or their associates resemble the figures in which of the stories?

=^^=
.../\...

in the robin tangent i forgot about zorro. some of the same questions apply. if i'm not mistaken, zorro, in a sense may have represented the hopes and dreams of former spanish american land holders in pre-u.s. california, who'se deeds were voided when it got glomed up by america's westward expansion. although, yah, the implication in most iterations of THAT story are set in that earlier time fraime, yet generally fail at representing that indiginous cultures were still dominant and the spanish landholders were misapropriating territory from them. not to mention the somewhat less then saintly roll of the missions in all that.

Does "Robin Hood" refer to the human or the cartoon furry?

El Zorro. Tights do not protect against that handy whip. Plus RObin Hood is mainly a skilled archer and Zorro a fencer, giving him the main advantage in melee combat. Plus, a foil or a rapier are better than a broadsword in a melee between two unarmoured combatants.

Even if the fight escalates to ranged and Robin Hood brings a bow, Zorro more likely would bring a gun.

19th century technology pwns 11 or 12th century technology.

Yes, but Antonio was the new Zorro. They're both real. In any case, I'd f*** Anthony Hopkins sideways, too. While f***ing Antonio the other sideways. Throw Alyson Hannigan and Megan Fox in and we got a party. Or an orgy. Either way.
