Okay, i don't know if I'm posting this in the right place, or if this has been done before, but i wanted to know what you think:
River and Buffy get into a fight.
No weapons- only bare hands.
Who would win??

Cage match? Is there mud involved?
Interesting question. Joss has made them both so awesomely kick-ass that I fear they'd both get the livin' heck beat out of them.
There's also the extra bonus in River's favor with that "I can kill you with my brain" ability. That could come in very handy when kicking someone in the head just isn't working fast enough.
Actually, I'd like to see them both fighting together against a pack of Reaver-Vamps. Two Joss universes together!

River tops Buffy on everything except strength, I'd say. Which means she can just outmaneouver Buffy so Buffy doesn't have chance to get the drop on her.

Buffy's strong but River is faster and a better fighter. River is also more purposeful in her movements, as well as the whole "I can kill you with my brain," thing mentioned by 11thhour. I believe River would wipe the floor with Buffy.

Besides her exceptional intelligence and maybe training River is in other aspects just a "normal" human with human vulnerabilities.
Buffy on the other hand has superhuman strength and resistances. Also some intelligence.
If River has no tools to translate her inteligence in something lethal she has just the option to beat the hell out of Buffe without getting hit.
After some minutes her stamina would end this. After all Buffy just needs a single hit to kill her.

I would give the edge to Buffy. Buffy's got super powers while River doesn't, other than her psychic abilities. Those psychic abilities will help make up for her lack of super abilities, but Buffy would eventually wear her down. The right environment however may swing things in River's favor. Ahhhh, this reminds of the Great Caveman vs Astronaut Debate of 2004.

In other words, what Mirand just said.

Intelligent, telepathy, and enhanced physical abilities. She may not have super strength and enhanced healing ability but I'd say her fight with the reavers shows that she has a fair amount of stamina - or could you do that?

Never said i could do that. River is what i would call a peak athlete. She's been trained to the limit of human abilities, but she's still human. Buffy has the power of demons in her blood. River, and the reavers for that matter, cannot compare. Give River a gun or have them fight in a deserted building, where intelligence (and psychic ability) are more useful, then River would win, but Buffy would make it challenging for her. Throw them in an empty room with nothing but their bare hands and Buffy will eventually win.
