Who Would Win in a Street Fight? Rareliquid vs Peak Frameworks vs Sam Shiah

Was wondering which investment banking youtuber y'all think would win in a street fight? The three former IB analyst contenders are:

Also should mention that this street fight would be no holds barred (aka anything goes)

I'd say Sam Shiah only because given the predatory nature of his business - charging students $6800 (wouldn't be surprised if inflation bumped it up to $8k) for recruiting advice by invoking anxieties that without WSMM they won't end up on the street - I am guessing he's had his fair share of run ins with delinquent customers and has resorted to his unscrupulous methods to get what he wants. 

Given this is a no holds barred fight, I could totally see Sam, with the "whatever it takes/ends justify the means" mentality, going into this fight mafia style with a crowbar/gun and absolutely destroying these two honest youtubers just like he does with his customers.

 

Matt Ting produce quality content, actually thinking about using it for PE recruiting. Ben Chon talks a lot about non- IB stuff. Can't speak about Sam, since I only see the commercials and it has stopped. 

 

Matt has so much humility and is pretty chill. The type of guy I would grab drinks with

 

Funny enough both Sam and Ben were in the same business frat at Berkeley

In the red corner - Bennnnnnnnnnn Chon! aka theeee rareeeeeliquid!!!!!!!!!!

Ben strolls out. He's been a soft-spoken gentleman his whole life. Always been an obedient Asian kid. Always did his homework, did his chores, he was that kid who reminded the teacher of homework. However today, he's not his usual confident self. He's never been in a playground fist-fight before, let alone a street fight. Whenever he saw a fight at school, he would report it to the teacher. Today, his demeanor resembles that of his 'Luna' video where he addresses his crypto losses and his subscribers' hate and disappointment. He stretches, throws some loose air punches to warm up joints and watches out for Matt Ting and Sam Shiah.

'Hey guys, it's Ben here - '

WHAM!!

Ben falls to the ground with a anti-climatic thud. Way less spectacular than how Luna tumbled.

The Wall Street Mastermind, Sam Shiah, steps out of the shadows. He looks like his usual cunning, shifty, disheveled self, but the moonlight and his sneaky sucker-punch adds an extra element of scammyness to his demeanour. He drops the brick he used to smash Ben's skull. He inspects Ben's lifeless body with interest. 'Pity. I liked his DCF from scratch videos. But he wasn't going to go far without my WallStreetMastermind course anyway.'

Matt Ting from Peak Frameworks sizes up Sam Shiah. He gives his usual reassuring smile and utters 'That's Peak bro.'

Matt has always been a logical person. He likes numbers and he likes to evaluate probabilities. He also devotes energy to his appearance, as evidenced by his sleek hairstyle, sharp jawline, bright skin tone and well-ironed clothes. So it makes sense to assume that Matt devotes time to working out too. He might not have trained in serious martial arts nor trained his brute strength to that akin of a powerlifter or bodybuilder, but it's safe to assume that he hits the gym around 2 times a week especially now he has a more relaxed schedule running Peak Frameworks, and might have taken up a recreational gym boxing class here and there, and probably does cardio occasionally. His brutal investment banking and private equity work schedule might have drained him and made him physically unfit, but all 3 contenders were former investment banking analysts and thus all are equally weak. Out of the 3, Matt Ting is the most physically primed to win this Clash of the Titans.

Matt applies his logical approach to the fight. Prior to showing up, he has already built a detailed model to estimate the outcomes of the fight. It was an intense and multi-variable model, with 30 different switches and more than 100 assumptions, supplemented with 100 rows of sensitivity and scenario analyses. His main assumptions lie in the fact that Sam Shiah is overweight (and has a disgusting beard to top it off) and Ben Chon is a nerd. Unfortunately there are no historical data or precedent fights so he intrinsically values Sam and Ben and draws comparable peers from other nerds who have engaged in fights. The odds look very good for Matt ....

 

Have no clue there were IB youtubers but honestly Matt looks to be toughest of the group.

Selling "courses" online, especially via youtube, has always been shady corner of the internet.

All that aside, he just looks like he is physically capable of beating down the others in the ring of honor.

This whole ordeal feels like some weird cross of Andrew Tate, Gordon Gecko, and guidance counselors.
