20 comic book characters who would challenge John Wick

17. Sabretooth

Victor Creed is the unholy blend of strength, speed, healing, size, and agility. We’ve seen what he can do. Sabretooth has ripped mercenaries, armies, and Wolverine to shreds on multiple occasions. He is also incredibly callous and couldn’t care less about the people who die while he’s fighting someone. He’d even go as far as to put them in harm’s way. It just doesn’t matter as long as he gets his win.

All of that – plus his razor sharp claws and teeth – make him close to the perfect fighting machine. So yeah, Sabretooth definitely takes the bounty.

Sabretooth wins 7 out of 10 fights

Sabretooth doesn’t have fancy moves. He isn’t going to back-flip and kick you or try and use finesse to win fights. He’s going to rely on his animal-like powers.

John Wick fought a massive guy in his third movie. Wick won, but that guy wasn’t Victor Creed. In that setting, Creed would have gotten that money within minutes. A beaten down John Wick at the mercy of Sabretooth spells disaster. Wick’s body would be found with chunks taken out of him and bite-marks. Actually, any scenario can work for Creed.

However, John wins his fights when Sabretooth gets over-confident. That’s how the latter usually loses. That said, once Sabretooth realizes that this isn’t someone he can take lightly, he wins hands down.
