The battle that no one has been waiting for! Fist to fist! Bad hair cut to no hair! All bets are on!

Well, Kirk's gone into physical fights more then Picard, but Picard has the bigger ship(I think he's compensating for something ). Then again Kirk's ship doesn't almost explode every other episode. Personally I go with Kirk because Picard is too dependent on his crew. Kirk can usually improvise something himself with occasional help from Spock or McCoy.

If it's a space battle we're talking about, than Picard's 24th Century E-D would wipe the floor with Kirk's 23rd century E-nil. On even footing, Kirk is the better commander in a fight, and Picard the better diplomat (and doesn't that just sum up the difference between TOS and TNG?)

Man to man, Kirk takes it. He had the devil's luck and could see and could talk anyone into doing anything.

And he had theme music!

Picard. Older and wiser (Kirk being 33 at TOS's beginning, Picard being 59).

Though in a simple physical man to man fight, Kirk takes it (as shown in Generations).

Kirk.

He's more likely to fight dirty.

As the title says, its fist to fist.

I voted for Kirk. The man had the mojo, the music, the over sized chest and could handle a planet full of women all at the same time. I've got one woman of my own and she drives me between heaven and hell at the least every day or so. If there's a man who can take on a galaxy of women and live to tell about it then by all means, give him the crown.

In a fist fight, it's no contest. Kirk all the way.
He's younger.
He has a lot of experience in combat.
He's beaten up more people than Picard has had tea, Earl Grey, hot.
He actualy knows combat tactics.

I second all that Rochey says; plus, add the element of Kirk-ness. His bravado and bragadoccio give Kirk and indefinable element of fate, edge, or whatever you want to call it.

I'm gonna go with Klingon Killer Picard. All those years of slicing through the air when he says "Engage" means he must have the Karate Chop from hell by now.

Let's see

Fisticuffs: Kirk - he's half Picard's age, and has experience of hand-to-hand combat. Plus he's survived several brawls with Vulcans.

Ship-to-ship, equal vessels: Kirk - he's from the competent, military-focused era of Starfleet, not one of the TNG-era we're-not-a-military Stafleet.

Ship-to-ship, own vessels: Picard - while the GCS is a heap of junk, it's ten times the size of a Connie with firepower to match.

This is murder! So far, kirk has the lead by several land slides!

So, who made the better ladies man?
Picard wasn't a wuss on this boys and, he knew how to tango! With a little sulsa on the side.

Better lady's man? Kirk! How many alien cultures did he bring the concept of 'kiss' to?

I don't mean "who banged the most women". I meant overall.

Who was the better mixed, skill, looks, mojo, charisma, etc.

I'm all for Picard in many things, but the Kirk-ness factor again has to play a part. I guess it depends on who you like - the '90's, sensitive, "I empathize" guy; or the ol' skool, Cary Grant, "I'm gonna make you fall for me whether you want to or not" guy.

If you were wondering, Picard's the former while Jim is the latter.
