Who wins in a fight? UFC rules - three 5 minute rounds.

Ditka gasses after 3 minutes. Gable could go for weeks. Not close.

Ditka 432 - Gable 2

Are we talking Mini Ditka?

 

[phatcat]

Why are we given a Pitt guy (Ditka) to defend?

Just leaned on Wikipedia that he was born Dyczko. Never knew it

Gable as in Clark Gable?

Gable is one of my sports heroes and would be the one entity, and I'm including planets, that could defeat Ditka.

Absolute intensity no matter the situation. He participated in a charity exhibition in my hometown shortly after the '72 Olympics and my brother was helping out. He met Gable in the locker room and he was mentally preparing for a meaningless match like it was for the gold medal.

Macho Man!

Gable would destroy Ditka despite the size difference.

The love of Mike Ditka is something I will never understand (and I’m a huge Bears fan). He had one of the best rosters in NFL history and won one Super Bowl when he probably should have won two or three.

On top of that, by most accounts he is a pretty lousy human being too.

He's a ****ing shithead.

According to the Ditka experts on SNL, he could take out a whole convent of nuns if he had to. I'll go with the experts on this one. Ditka in a first period tap out by Gable.

You said that a lot more eloquently than I ever could.

 

[NorthNJCatsfan]

No contest. Gable.

Stan Gable, QB of the Adams College Atoms?

"Well, if I was you, I'd do something about it!"

 

[Alan Smithee]

At ages 70 and 79, they don't sound like that interesting a matchup.

 

[GECat2]

This post confirms that we have officially entered "the dead period". It won't end until summer football practice.

Gable left college on a losing streak !

 

[NDAFArly]

Gable would eat an ice cream cone with one hand while making Ditka cry like a baby with the other.
Seriously, Ditka has zero combat sports experience & Gable was an absolute monster.
Wouldn’t last 10 seconds.

So did Michael Jordan & Larry Bird, & almost every great of all time. Who cares, it’s college.
Then Gable went on to DESTROY that same wrestler every other time they wrestled & them went to the two biggest wrestling tournaments on the planet, the World Championships & Olympics, & won both in a combined 78-0 score. Seriously, he wrestled the greatest wrestlers on the planet at the professional level & won both tournaments, not giving up a single point. That will NEVER happen again.

Take a deep breath-losing the NCAA title in his SR year may have been the greatest upset in the history of college wrestling. I believe NU wrestled ISU when Gable was there
