It's the poll you've all been waiting for!
Inspired by seeing Danzig get knocked out and the old "Who Would Win In A Fight: Tupac or Axl" board, I give you this.
My money is on a younger Phil Anselmo. He just gets so fucking pissed, and he was pretty big. Rollins at his peak may have him beat, but deep down, Rollins may be a bit too nerdy to really know how to fight. To be a nerd who can fight, you need to be one of those UFC guys like Matt Hughes.
Before you guys laugh at Chris Cornell, I remember a time when the dude was a fucking ripped 5% body fat machine who used to do things like go nuts and make Axl Rose hide behind amps in fear of getting his ass kicked.
I bet anybody on this list could beat the shit out of 50 Cent. He probably fights like a bitch.
I'm sure there are a lot of metalheads I missed...

1st off, Iggy pop would kick nearly all those guys asses combined . . .

Iggy Pop, eh? Is he a genuine badass, or are you going by the fact that he gets all nutso onstage? I've never heard of him kicking anybody's ass, but has he? Enlighten me.
Going by just what I know about him, though, I'd definitely put him in the rankings of a "lightweight division."

all I know is what Henry Rollins once said to us (@ 1 of his spoken word tours), and it was, basically, that Iggy Pop could kick his ass w/one arm tied behind his back! Ever since then, I've gained respect for Iggy's street -fight prowess, only cuz if Henry says its so . . .

So I'm reading up on Metallic KO and maybe I'm starting to agree with you and Rollins, thorn. Here's a sweet Iggy quote I found:
"There are things I don't remember. I'd wake up with bumps on the head, blood on my shirt and something green coming out of my penis."
What a soldier.

Hank's all steroids (or at least neck).
But yeah, Iggy's just a feral animal.
I'm still waitin' on Bowiglou to weigh in on this, and to comment on Iggy's street -worth.

I bet it would take a long time for Iggy to actually do any damage to someone, but he's also impossible to injure himself. He'd take a beating for as long as it took for him to wear the other guy down.

Having met the man, my vote goes to Peter Steele.
Dude doesn't need to fight, he'll just scare the fight outta ya.

I've seen him onstage, maarts, but how big was he in person?

He'd take a beating for as long as it took for him to wear the other guy down. Rocky absolutely nailed this one. At this point in his life, I'm not sure if there's any real organic material left in Iggy Pop's body. ...but after seeing Glen Danzig go down after one punch, I almost feel as though the wind has gone out of this perennial topic. Once the myth of Danzig has been deflated, I've just lost all my faith in any of these people - beneath the most imposing exterior there could well lurk a pansy-ass wuss in any of these men. ....so I'm writing in Dolly Parton  Suffocation by Boobus Maximus. Cheers, M |

I've seen Rollins kick ass, though, so I've still got faith. Jack White kicked that Von Bondies dude's ass, but hell, I could do that. Maynard's been known to put disgruntled fans in triangle chokes. Those guys from Manowar worship Odin, so there may be something to that, but they probably just lay around playing bum darts and stroking each other's big hairy chests.
Phil Anselmo could be a wuss, but I just don't see how. Would have said the same for Danzig, though. Watching him get knocked out was like going to a party with Motley Crue in 1982, only to find nothing there but juice and cookies.
Dolly Parton could slap me around with those old, massive titties anyday, though, and I'm not sure I'd put up much a fight.

Jack White also supposedly beat the shit out of one of the guys in the Datsuns for humping and dumping Meg. Thing is, it hasn't been verified if it really happened (was a rumor 'round the Detroit scene though), plus, I'm not sure if the guy from the Datsuns would be that tough to beat the hell out of either.
