First off, Barney would have had to break the muppet line... muppet fighters were not generally accepted and often had to fight amongst themselves. Barney fought Big bird at least ten times with each muppet winning five of the encounters. barney actually gave away quite a reach advantage to big Bird.
It was particularly hard for Barney as a purple muppet... Many feel that because of this the crowd and refs would militate against Barney...In his fight with Oscar the Grouch Oscar was allowed to not shower for a week, and to this day there is contraversy about whether Ernie slipped Bert handwraps against the purple one. At any rate Barney would not get to fight Bert again...as Bert was locked up for having a gay lover across state lines (Ernie)...to quote the judge from Jersy "dat muppets a ****!"
Dempsey would want to go to the belly. Barney would come out singing a tune while dempsey attempted to attack without getting any kids upset. Was Barney too much for Jack? Many people felt that way: Mr Hooper had this to say "Barnie used to shop here on Sesame Street, he was a stone cold killer, don't let the soft voice fool ya! Jack would go down in the middle rounds to barney's pawing jab."
But jack had his believers as well: Roosevelt Franklin had this to say "Im Roosevelt Franklin!!" But he liked Dempsey and we know this, Grover also felt Dempsey was not the guy you wanted to catch you in the cookie jar!
We have very little footage for Barnie boxing. We do know he taught a couple of mascots a lesson though. Im going to say this one is too close to call thoughts?
