@WhoWouldWin13 Alf does have a distinct size advantage, capable of eating cats that are roughly the size of Rygel. He also has military training, having served in both Melmac's Orbit Guard as well as the Melmackian version of the French Foreign Legion (the latter revealed in the Alf comic book

@WhoWouldWin13 based on the TV series). Along with this, he is a master of the Melmackian martial art of...Kung Food. You read that right. Kung Food is a highly advanced form of food fighting, far superior to any food fighting prowess you see in school lunchrooms. In the comics, Alf taught

@WhoWouldWin13 Brian Tanner the art, which enabled him to defeat a school bully (and it didn't take him long to teach it, which can't be said of human martial arts). Considering his military background, Alf no doubt has been trained in other martial arts.

Both opponents have a nasty bite, but

@WhoWouldWin13 Alf's, mouth is much larger. Indeed, he can kill a cat with one bite, crushing its body.

Both aliens are very old, with Rygel having been imprisoned for over a century alone (with far more years to look forward to), while Alf is several centuries old. However, though they

@WhoWouldWin13 have attained much experience and knowledge over the centuries, Rygel is far more intelligent, as well as more devious, having cut his teeth in the school of court intrigue. He could try to convince Alf that he just wants peace, and then when Alf is not expecting it...stab!

@WhoWouldWin13 And I do mean stab, because Rygel has been shown to have a knife on at least one occasion. Along with this, he can actually make a makeshift grenade (though he doesn't know how to make it properly, the explosion on one episode not as great as it could have been, yet still

@WhoWouldWin13 potentially lethal).

Along with this, Rygel has a floating/flying chair, which gives him air superiority in this fight. This could potentially get him to safety, away from the burgers and fries that Alf might throw his way.

One strength Rygel has is, surprisingly, his much

@WhoWouldWin13 smaller size. If Rygel goes on foot, he wont be as likely to be heard or to make a creak on the floor while walking as Alf is. He'll also be better apt at hiding, and this stealthy could enable him to wait for Alf to approach and then, when Alf is not suspecting it...stab! Just

@WhoWouldWin13 like a special forces soldier.

However, Rygel is no soldier, and he would most likely want to flee a battle instead of fighting one. However, he is more bloodthirsty and cutthroat than Alf, and at times when push comes to shove, he will lash out even against aliens whom he

@WhoWouldWin13 knows he can't wupp (such as when he bit Aeryn Sun, drawing blood).

I think after a short clash, Rygel will try to hide, flying away with his chair. If this battle was to happen in a place where he couldn't hide, then he might be able to get the upper hand, but in most cases

@WhoWouldWin13 in such a fight he'd have some kind of avenue to escape. Thus, he would eventually retreat, giving Alf the victory.

Thus, I conclude...

@WhoWouldWin13 ALF HAS HIMSELF A RYGEL SANDWICH!!!!!
