I think that it would be a long, tiresome battle, but Riddick would win. All he would need is a knife or a shiv. He is just as ruthless (perhaps even more), just as resoursful, just as intelligent, and twice as deadly. The only way Fett would survive is if he had a powerful flashlight. He once killed someone with a tea cup.

I know a bit about Riddick but it has been a long time since i have seen any of the films. How good was his healing ability?

One of the sources I provided says above average, but I do not remember anything great about it. He can, however, dislocate and re-locate bones.

Yeah I think Boba's armour would give him a chance since Riddick specialises in combat with etched weapons. I think it would actually be fairly close. Obviously hand to hand Boba wouldnt stand a chance.

Yeah, Boba could probably snipe Riddick, thogh he has displayed reliable instincts and intuition.

Riddick would win he beat the necromonger who was pretty much invincible

Based on what I read about Riddick I would say he would be a good challenge for Boba but that in the end, he wins.

Has Boba killed a triple-maximum security prison guard with a tea cup? Has Boba killed one of the greatest  warriors in an army over took a planet in less tha a day in less than ten seconds? Has Boba killed the leader of said army? Has Boba killed a small army with only two blades?

Just remember this is all fiction.....and that Boba has done great things as well, like defeating a whole garrison of imperial stormtroopers.

Has Riddick defeated a dark lord of the sith? Has Riddick managed to survive an assualt from one of the most powerful starships in the galaxy? Has Riddick single handedly taken down a world devastator? Has Riddick defeated a garrison of storm troopers ? Course not because they are two different universes. Boba could kill somone in 10 seconds it dosent take that long for a blaster bolt too travel.

But could Boba kill one of the greatest warriors with a knife? The small army Riddick destoyed was much deadlier than the storm troopers.

Too bad we don't have some sort of simulator....

We don't.  I think (personally) that Boba would win.  He is a walking armoury, and wouldn't allow Riddick to get anywhere near him if he was smart.  That would be key.  Worst comes to worst, he'd just use his flamethrower on Riddick if he comes to close.

And as the blaster bolt travels at slightly below lightspeed, I'd say that it would take less than 5 seconds for Fett to kill someone, IG-88.

I agree.

Riddick is just as stealthy as he is intelllligent and powerful.  In "Pitch Black,"he was in a large, hollowed out skull with two others in it. Neither of them knew that he was in it, despite maticulous searching. One of them was a first class bounty hunter. In the "Chronicles of Riddick," he visited a planet called Cremetoria. When the sun comes ou, anyone not under cover would be litrally vaporized. He was out right before the sun came up for a short period of time, while smoke was radiating from his singed body.

Yeah well 1st class bounty hunters in that world probably compare to Greedo if he didn't find Riddick in a large skull. Boba Fett could do way better than the hunters in Riddick's world.

Seeing as he was able to capture Riddick, I doubt that.

My faith in Boba stays the same.  He would be able to beat Riddick.  Not easily, but he would do it.

Could you enlighten me on how?

Okay.  First he would maneuver Riddick to an open area, so that his stealthiness would be nullified.  He'd then keep himself at a comfortable distance, and lay down the heavy ordenance.  A few well placed rockets in front of Riddick, followed by a couple rounds of blaster fire, and maybe a timed burst of the flamethrower.  If Riddick cannot get close, he cannot kill Boba.  Even with the healing factor, he would eventually die under the sustained fire.

Riddick would not allow himself to be manuvered into an open area. He is much to smart for that. Boba only has two rockets, and Riddick is also much faster than an average human. I'm sure that Riddick is also great with projectile weapon. For a long range attack, Riddick may be able to use the "Wrath of the Furyans." Also, Riddick has no healing factor. Riddick would not just stand in one place and allow himself to be flamed for long enough t kill him.

I am taking that all into account.  Boba can adapt to Riddick's attack style easliy.

I'm not sure why, but this just makes me want to ask the question... in your mind, can he lose?

Because so far all I can see is you saying, "if Boba tried to use a rocket, Riddick would dodge it. If Boba did this...blah blah Riddick would win."

No where have I seen how Riddick could kill Boba. Don't get me wrong, I believe Riddick is a heck of a fighter, especially with the insticts, speed, and strength he has shown. I'm not saying either way yet, but I do know that Riddick isn't going to have any advantages in weaponry while Boba is using blasters and such. Even with Riddicks proficiancy with melee weapons, they can't compare to a thermal detonator or a rocket.

In my mind, it is more of a battle between whether Riddick can get close enough to Boba to kill him. If he can, he would win quite quickly. If not, Boba has the match in the bag. So can Boba dodge Riddick with his Jetpack and reflexes, I'd say yes. So I'd say my answer is Boba... by a nose.

would boba be armed?

Does he have two arms?  :)  I am pretty sure Boba wouldn't go anywhere, especially into a battle without his weapons.

im just saying if boba had his weapons he would win, but if he did not im sure riddick would win

In most versus the opponents have access to all resources.

good point

Boba's weapons may not help him much. Riddick would not stand in one place and wait to be shot. He has single handedly taken on a well armed mercenary army.

Yes. He has lost in a fight at least four times. He has also been captured a few times.

That is not what I mean. I mean, is there any thought in your mind that Boba could win this fight. Because you are being quite biased on the issue, by not explaining both sides of your argument, just how Riddick would pwn Boba. I realize that many people so far have not given Riddick much attention, but still... both sides are to be considered at any time.

If Boba was able to get Riddick's googles off (unless they were in the dark), Riddick would be dead. Boba might be able to get a lucky shot with his toe-spikes.

There are probably more ways than that for Boba to win.  He rarely takes "lucky shots".

I thought you said Riddick evaded detection inside the skull....Also, this is the 1st time that I've seen Fetter and Draco disagree on something. Usually they both agree with each other and disagree with me.

yeah, boba would win

Name one. He would take a "lucky shot" if he was able to against an opponent like Riddick.

He did. He was captured before and after that.

That really does not add much. Care to elaborate?

We have disagreed on more points than 1, it is just more fun to gang up on you =P.

As for the topic, it would probably take some insane move by Boba to take Riddick out, but I think he could pull it off. Although his relexes are not those of Riddick's, they are still comendable. A few concussion grenades here, a few ee-3 blasts there. Not saying that would get him, but sooner or later, something's gotta give. Even with Riddick's speed it would be really tough to get close to Boba.

why do want boba fett to loose to EVERYBODY?!(riddick,goku,godzilla etc.)

First of all it's "LOSE"(sorry to nitpick but it's a pet peave of mine :/)

And truly, Fett vs Goku is no contest. Fett vs. Godzilla is rediculous. Fett vs. Riddick is much much closer. Anyone with half a brain (or more) would agree with me.

And if you were talking to me, Son Goku, Superman, and Godzilla are no contest, as Fetter said. Deadpool, Wolverine, and Riddick are some of the greatest warriors ever created. Boba is not a god.

I agree. I mean Boba vs. Superman wtf

Depending on Fett's strategy, any of the peviously mentioned battles could go either way.  Most, though, require him staying at a distance, and using long-range weapons.  With the possible exception of Deadpool.

Or Superman, or Son Goku. None of Fett's weapons could hurt either of them. Anyways, we should get back on topic.

The stay at a distance strategy is fairly on topic.  I still say that that is the only way for Fett to defeat Riddick.

Boba and Riddick would team up.  Think about it, they both are pretty much alike.  Stealthy, nightvision, great fighters, they run their lives they way _THEY_ want to.

But if they'd have to fight each other, I think it might end up in a draw.  Reason?

Well, Boba uses military style strategy.  He asses the situation and surroundings. He then analyzes the situation and then goes in for the kill.

Riddick pretty much the same, but he's more or less tied to terrain as he prefers close range weapontry, he also has a disadvantage to the light.  So if he looses his goggles, he's screwed.

Now of course, Boba's night vision can fail as well, so he'd then be at a disadvantage.

But Boba's not stupid, and he's not going to get in close quarter style combat with  someone like Riddick, and Riddick isn't going to expose himself to a walking arsenal. 

So I think it would be a standoff.  Boba's not going in, and Riddick isn't going out.

Now, if they both saw exactly the same (Riddick has normal vision) none of them were armed, I believe Riddick would have a very good chance.  But I also heard that Boba cut alot of his nerve endings so he'd feel less pain.  So that would make Boba quite tough.  But either way, hand to hand combat, I believe Riddick would eventually wear down and kill Fett.

I would say that Boba's intelligience produces stategys and tactics a bit superior to military style tactics because in the military, you don't fight completely by yourself like Boba. Also, even though Riddick might win hand to hand, I think Fett would still manage to survive somehow. His iron will put together with missing pain nerves and excellent armor make a good fighter.

"I would say that Boba's intelligience produces stategys and tactics a bit superior to military style tactics because in the military, you don't fight completely by yourself like Boba."

When talking about tactics, there really is only one style.  And this goes for merc's, bounty hunters, police and military.  They max mix up the tactical style to fit their individual style, but the core stays the same.

You don't think we have intelligent tactitions in the military?  I'm sure theres at least one guy who could outwit Boba's tactics.  xD

Riddick is a master with knives. If he was able to get the smallest chance with a knife, he would slice open Boba through the gaps in his armor. Also, Riddick is quite the tactition aswell.

Yes, I suppose you're correct about the 1st statement. I didn't mean that there isn't anyone intelligient in the military, merely that Boba surpasses most of them. I'm sure there's at least 1 guy who could outwit Boba's tactics as well.

I was under the impression Boba Fett is a master with flamethrowers.

Actually, I can't think of too many times Boba used his flamethrower. Even if he did, read my post on Riddick's encounter with Cremetoria.

I can only think of when he used it in Bloodlines.
