OK, so there was a thread similar to this posted a while back by Succatash, but I didn't get my 2 cents in.
Tied for last place in the Firefly toughness contest is Inara and Kaylee. They could probably smack each other all day and only get bruises.
Next we have Simon. Yes, unfortunately, I have placed him below his sister, River, in the toughness department.
And another tie for third, River and Wash. Now I know what you're thinking... Wash could kick River's butt. But recall Wash's woosiness in the face of Niska, and River's resolute Shooting abilities during the same episode.
I would say Wash is physically stronger, but that wouldn't matter unless they were wrestling.
So who's left? Zoe, Jayne, Mal and Book.
Now don't get mad... cause another tie is in order. Zoe and Jayne. Yup. Even steven in my opinion.. and Mal would kick both their butts.
And so you know... Book is my perceived leader of kicking ass. I think he has hidden talents which would enable him to whoop anybody. I can see him learning some form of hand to hand combat at the abbey, much like the shaolin monks. Recall in the pilot that book stood up to Jayne with no fear in his eyes? That man has balls of solid rock.

Except for Book, I think you've got it all wrong.
Has YOUR mom seen Firefly, lately?

I am certain I do not have it wrong. Who do you think is tougher? I know the whole Wash statement probably threw you off, but I have yet to see him kick any ass. But I must close for now, I have tuna pains.

You're on crack. Or tuna. What are tuna pains. Anyway, you're on crack.
And this is just not Wash-love talking. Kaylee could whoop up, I bet.

So, Sarah, you think Kaylee could whoop on just Wash or do you think she could do some ass-kickin' on some others as well? What do you think about Book's bad-assedness? Tuna pains were my immediate need to eat tuna. I am now sated.

No, I don't think Kaylee could take Wash. But I do think she could take Simon.
Sometimes I get frappucino pains.

Hmmm, I guess I hadn't even pictured the 2 of them fighting. I always thought if they tried, they would just end up flirting. heh heh.
I love the frappucino's too. mmmmm, coffee.

Uh... Inara at the bottom?
Let's see her in a swordfight sometime. Seems she's displayed a certain knowledge of how to manipulate the cutlery. Superior knowledge to Mal's, as it happens. And she certainly did a spiffy dodge back in Our Mrs. Reynolds, neh?
Kind of makes a person curious about exactly what all is taught at yonder Companion's Academy. I could see advanced self-defense being part of the studies... but dueling with swords? Hmmmmmm.
Besides, if we insult the lady, Mal will come and kick our butts.

I guess I should have specified what sort of standard we need to set for the word "toughest."
Whether it be by the sword, the fist, guns, or whatever. I would like to submit that in some sort of bare-handed bar brawl, that the order which I suggested would come fairly close, but with weapons the whole scenario changes.
