Short Range: Tree Trunk Club wins. I don't care how many people he slew with the donkey's jaw, it simply doesn't have the reach to counter Hercules's club. Edge

Mid range: Khopesh wins. As we've seen on the show, throwing a spear (even one that was designed to be thrown) is a great way to reduce accuracy. Plus, the Khopesh is an awesome sword. Edge: Samson.

Long Rage: Great Bow wins. Again, the show has sung the damnation of slings high and low when pitted against bows. Edge: Hercules.

Special: Hercules's Strength wins. There's a reason uber-strong people are called "Herculean" rather than "Sampsonian". Plus, that thing he's holdin in his off-hand in the picture? That's Cerberus. Edge: Hercules.

Overall: Hercules takes this. He has better weapons, and I believe that, for the most part, Sampson was based off of Hercules. Winner: Hercules.
