Winner takes on Pierre Boulez for ten rounds.

Can't imagine any of these guys - even put together - taking out Ms. Wynette!

The wimp factor is just too high!!

This thread is getting far too hilarious.  (And actually I have to log off...but to be continued.)

OK, I'm betting Wynette in six.  (And then Boulez is finally TKO when her hair falls on him.)

"Bruiser" Tammy...

If that article in Contemporary Music Review is to be believed, Boulez wouldn't dare attack Tammy Wynette. She would be too fabulous.

In any event, here are my predictions:

Stockhausen falls in the first minute, when somebody suggests that he isn't from Sirius.
Pfitzner, being a good reactionary, bashes some skulls - but falls, too, when someone liberally brains him with a synthesizer.
Palestrina goes out when someone uses the name of the Lord in vain.
Henze swoons and is borne out of the arena when someone tells him that Communism was, all in all, a failure.
Kagel, with characteristic wit, uses aleatoric processes to decide at whom to shoot a pistol, but gets steamrollered by Dittersdorf.
Dittersdorf, though, is stomped by Elgar - who, pith helmeted and white suited, is using an elephant gun.
Elgar is garotted by Beethoven, using a string from his vibrationally heavy piano.
Beethoven, then, has an ear trumpet rammed into his brain by, the WINNER, Tammy Wynette.

Boulez, then, would start to wail on Wynette - taking care not to hit her in the face or hair - but he would leave the project unfinished until someone dies, giving him some inspiration and reason to finish a "composition."

Laughing out loud here.

I used a very scientific method for coming up with my choice...

GOOGLEFIGHT!

This was totally hilarious...

Now if only someone will take the next step and turn it into a short film...

To that end, I ask only for a writing credit and the lion's share of the profits from such a film.

Late to the party, but my kudoi as well, Patrick!

Thanks. It was the "PG" version. I had an R-rated one, too, but decided that I didn't want to get banned over this thread.

Blast! Curse my responsible, "law"-abiding ways!

Of course, the only problem with the recourse to the Googlefight argument is that its results are always open to THIS!

[Kullervo]

Elgar beats Dittersdorf by a long shot... but Ditters beats Vanhal.

[DavidW]

Funny enough if you do it with quotations they both lose.  Wait is that a bug?  Because doesn't turn up zero results for "Beethoven Fidelio"!
