by which I mean, who would win in a fight...somebody on the Ringo thread reckoned Ringo could've kicked Lennon's ass...OK, let's run with that one:
Ringo > John > George > Paul
anybody got any quibbles with that, or should we move on to, say, the Rolling Stones?

I'd guess after Ringo they were all equally hard assed. I get the impression that John would be the lippy one starting a fight, while the others pile in for the scrap. Best to ask Heather Mills McCartney about Paul.

Here's the comment henry s was working off of:
It's interesting that he's considered the most harmless/most "lovable" Beatle, considering he grew up in the worst neighborhoods. He probably could have easily taken Lennon's ass in a fight.

Daltrey KOd Moon a couple of times, too. And I'm pretty sure Townshend did once.

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 17:44 (seven years ago) link
Daltrey was kicked out of the band for a few weeks in 1965 for punching Moon and throwing his amphetamines down the toilet. Deciding he didn't want to go back to his old job at the sheet-metal factory, he begged to be let back in, promising to go along with whatever they wanted to do, and that he'd never hit any of the band again (and he didn't, apart from when he knocked Townshend unconscious in 1973 during tour rehearsals for Quadrophenia).

Davy was the most likely to start a fight but his size was a disadvantage. Mike was quiet and generally more a lover than a fighter, but if pressed he could be an animal (like the time Micky called Mike's girlfriend a tramp and Mike broke both of Micky's arms with his bare hands).

I suspect Davy would be the toughest: grew up on the mean streets of Manchester and was a jockey when he was 14.
