you don't have to be strong or skilled, you just gotta know where a guy is and hire somebody with enough carlessness or police connections to get away with shooting him in the back of the head.
Paulie. Mike is an arrogant moron who has tried to take down men with guns while unarmed. This ego is what lead to his own death, ironic considering how much he berates Walter.
Paulie, meanwhile, is an experienced hitter but obnoxious enough to lull the wienery Mike into lowering his guard. Paulie wins 100/100 bouts.
As I said it's not capability that's the problem. Mike is a fricking dipshit. He'd probably show up without a gun and give Paulie a lecture filled with insults until he went too far and got garrotted. Or call Paulie and start monologuing in a way that tips off Paulie to his location and plan.
One stakeout watching Paulie's dumb ass at the Bing and Mike would write him off, sealing his own fate.
Mike is omnipotent, can teleport, and can physically overpower 20 year old lifters even though he’s a 5’2 70 year old with arthritis. Oh and he’s also a sharpshooter and master engineer and master strategist and can pick any lock and is also a master at social engineering despite not knowing how to use technology. Also he stops being omnipotent only towards the end of the life when the show needs him to act moronic. And he was a good friend who aged in reverse
>I can lift a fully-grown horse above my head, and I can hold my breath for ten minutes. To settle a wager, I once ate a pound of P.B. Fouke's strongest badger poison and then ran a mile in the nude. I cannot feel pain, and I can see for two miles unaided by a lens. No man can kill me. I have beaten a man of every race in formal combat, including a Turk, a Pygmy Black Man and a rare Deepwater israelite. A medical doctor and two priests have written and signed a document confirming that I have no soul. There is no species of fauna in America which I have not personally killed and skinned. I will never sire a child because I loathe women. I bathe only once a year in an icy pond. I have burnt down one church per month for the last thirty years, and I will never be brought to justice because all lawmen fear me.
Mike would lose without Prep. he has to spend whole ass episodes doing "stuff" for a 30 second pay-off
In real life the mafia guy would lose, mafia people are not strong or skilled, that's why they hide behind their underlings
you don't have to be strong or skilled, you just gotta know where a guy is and hire somebody with enough carlessness or police connections to get away with shooting him in the back of the head.
in a neutral environment, i'd give the edge to paulie only because he was slightly more spry than the slightly younger mike.
in any other situation, mike.
>In any other situation
So Mike wins if the environment is for or against him, but loses if it's neutral. wut
Depends, but I think Paulie has Mike's number in most scenarios where he isn't anticipating any danger.

paulie does not even have half the gun and hand-to hand skills that Mike has. In a physical bout Mike wins 100% of the time.

yeah Paulie would get offended and walk away then shoot Mike in the back of the head while he's at the park.
Neither did Walt, where are the Mikes now?
Are the mikes in the room wirh us
You're lookin at them

The badger poison part always gets me
for me it's the rare deepwater israelite
For me it's a different part
haha yeah
Depends. Does Mike have access to his solid guys?
yes but his solid guys have civilian grade treadmills
Mike because all of the Breaking Bad characters are absurdly powerful while The Sopranos at least pretends to be somewhat realistic.
rong, Mary would protect Paulie from the filthy Pr*testant
Not really an equal comparison, since Paulie's a captain and Mike's an enforcer. Better comparison is Furio vs Mike and that zip wins 9/10 times.
paulie has that "it" factor if you know what i mean
Paulie is like a rat, he's a survivor.
Mike is like a wolf, very easily trapped.
reminds me of that ancient chinese proverb where the rat traps the wolf
Mike would dominate 95% of the fight only for Paulie to kill him by slipping on a banana skin and making his gun go off by accident
>Ey Mikey tell Gus I say hello, heh heh.
>mmhmmmm
>*doesn't tell Gus that Paulie says hello*
>Paulie betrays Tony because Gus pays way more money
Wait til he finds out the mulignan's a fanook.
Mike. Not my call.
