Gladiators VS Spartans. who will win??

[G. Septimus]

well, I'm kinda Confused which "Mighty" warrior of the Ancient world will win
the Gladius, or the Xiphoss???
The Gladiators (or Roman Legionaires) or The Spartans
in Might, and Power, not tactics

[caravel]

Ultimately whoever rides a camel will win.

The tactics the Spartans used died out for a reason, on flat terrain the might stand a chance though. But on hills it's sluggish and clumsy compared to roman's legions

[spmetla]

I'd probably say that in "might and power" the Spartans would win. They'd trained more of their lives and the individual Spartan would undoubtedly be in better physical condition as well as more mentally prepared, not to mention trained than the average legionnaire or gladiator. Though I don't see the point in defining the mightiest warrior if you separate them from the tactics used.

[Peasant Phill]

I doubt anyone can compare two warriors who never fought eachother (or someone similar) in real life with any amount of accuracy.

This isn't inspired on that god awful show where they compare 'ancient' 'mighty' warriors, I hope.

[A Very Super Market]

Gladiators are for spectacle. Legionaries and Spartans didn't fight solo. So unless this was a wrestling match, the comparison makes no sense.

Of course, it if was a wrestling match, it would still be debateable. Though a Spartan and a legionary would probably be compareable, I've heard that gladiators were actually quite massive, looking more like linebackers than boxers. Is this true?
