Lost to Shane
Lost to the Governor
Lost to Darryl
Lost to Negan
Well, he never stated he was a Golden Gloves winner, the guy was a simple sheriff in a small town.
shareThat’s the shitty writings attempt to keep him grounded and stretch the paper thin plot out over 16 episodes.
shareHa! Said this to the person i watched with..Rick never met a fist that didnt love his face!
Not much for fighting our boy Rick lol
Rick's a scrapper. In many of the fights he has been in, people have gotten the jump on him, or had some kind of advantage, weapon, numbers, etc. But Rick is tough and can take a beating, yet find a way to win when it counts. Example....that doctor/husband he fought in Alexandria a couple seasons back....started to get the better of Rick, but then he throws the guy out his own living room window, and out on the street, he managed to turn the tables back in his favor. That's how cops train to fight...they train to subdue people and get an upper hand when attacked.
When Rick fought Shane at the gas station, Shane was bigger and stronger than Rick, but Rick eventually managed to crack Shane in the jaw with his own rifle and get him on his knees. It's never pretty...but Rick finds a way.
How about when that group of 3-4 hicks had a weapon on Rick, and made him watch while one of them made sick advances on Carl. Rick bit his captor's throat out...and then advanced on the guy attacking Carl, and killed him badly.
How about the guy who had him at gunpoint in the bus 2 seasons back? Rick disarmed him, killed him....and then proceeded to saw the other 2 down outside the bus with his gun.
Rick got the better of Daryl in season one, when Daryl attacked him after finding out what happened to his brother. And heck....even in this last episode, Negan had the jump on Rick...the element of surprise, and a baseball bat. Rick found a way to crack Negan in the head, get him on his ass, get his gun back and elude Negan. (Granted, he probably should have gone back inside and shot him....)
How about when he was forced to fight the walker at the trash heap (with all the blades sticking out of him?) He took a knife stab straight through his hand, and managed to kill that wicked-ass walker with his bare hands and some cunning. He even disarmed the head heapster chick two episodes back....with his hands tied, using a speer and the severed head of a walker he just killed.
Not a fighter? How about the night Carl got shot in the eye?? Rick grabs a machete, steps outside in the middle of a herd of walkers....and proceeds to deliver the biggest singlehanded walker ass-kicking in the history of the show.
Rick's no spring chicken, and he's not particularly big. He hasn't been 100% since season one....and fighting in itself is exhausting. But he's a pitbull, and he finds ways to win.
He even kicked Tyrese's ass.
He beat Tyrese pretty badly in a fist fight.
