Could Fonzie actually fight?

[nerrad]

He sure as hell played the role, but who remember the episode where Fonz was dating a woman with this kid, I think. The boys father came to Arnolds and tried to reclaim him. Fonz wanted to fight at first, but soon ran and ducked. Telling the father to take him. To me, that destroyed any credibility he had when it came to being tough. Has anyone ever seen him actually hit somebody. Even Ralph Malph stepped into the ring.

the reason that the Fonz didn't fight that guy was because Fonzie wanted the boy to stop idolizing him because the boy's parents were going to try and get back together - in other words, he was pretending to be scared of the guy.

there have been a number of previous threads discussing the Fonz's fighting abilities so i wont go into detail but, the Fonz typically tried to get away from violence as he got older, and there were a few examples where the Fonz got into fights, but almost none where he actually had to hit someone.
