Mock biblical battles

a good conversation was had today, the topic of discussion: Goliath Vs. Samson separate from the God factor, and hand to hand combat of course, no swords/spears/slingshots. most of us placed our bets with Goliath, Samson just isn't consistent enough. Inevitable, the next question that came up was king David (not the boy version that fought Goliath) vs. Samson. this one was more difficult. they say David had rugged good looks. what does that mean? does rugged mean sturdy, tough, big? he definitely must have been a tough dude since he grew up as the youngest of at least 7 brothers, and he did kill a lion and a bear. Samson also killed a lion though, he has the stamina to kill 1000 men in one sitting. to top it off, and he also broke concrete pillars with his bare hands. both of them had God on their side so that can't really be factor. we seemed inconclusive on this one...
