Could Huey Lewis take Lionel Richie in a fistfight?

Huey Lewis looks he has more bulk on him, that may help. Neither side has really shown much mean streak, but if I had to guess who had more killer instinct... probably Richie. Maybe. This is tough.

i think he could. i give Lionel some credit, since he was a Commodore after all... but ultimately i give the nod to Huey. Maybe it's just because of Richie's wavy hair. Hard to take a guy with that 'do seriously.

Richie would use some blind girl as a human shield.

It would be close, but I think that Huey would win. They're about the same height, but HL has a heavier build.

Lionel Richie is a lover, not a fighter.

Huey Lewis went to a prep school...Lionel Richie went to a public high school...guess who my money's on?

Is this an episode 12 "Yacht Rock" spec script?

Huey toured with Thin Lizzy, who I bet got into a few scraps. And what does where a guy went to school have anything to do with pugilism?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Lionel Richie beaten up by his ex-wife?

Marriage With Brenda Harvey
Richie married college sweetheart Brenda Harvey on Oct. 18 1975. During their marriage, Lionel began a relationship with Diane Alexander in 1986. In 1988, while separated, Brenda allegedly discovered Lionel and Alexander together in a Beverly Hills apartment. A confrontation ensued, and Brenda was then arrested for spousal abuse, trespassing and vandalism. Lionel and Brenda divorced in August 9, 1993; they had been married 17 years.

Pretty weird. A co-worked & I had a conversation about this & brought up the same points. But without the ellipses.

Are we talking now, or in 1983? Because in 1983, I think Richie would have won: a guy who can dance on the ceiling beats some guy bummed out at the beach. But today, I'm less sure. It probably depends on the drugs involved.

two years pass...

Seriously, no holds barred. Who wins?

Whoops.

More relevant question: could he take Ray Parker Jr?
