Hello my friend, this one would be interesting. I like both of these actors and both interestingly have played prize fighters, Eastwood in Every Which Way But Loose and Bronson in Hard Times.
Both were US Army vets too, Bronson was an aerial gunner in WW2 and he received the purple heart for wounds received in battle, Eastwood was a lifeguard who served in the Korean war and once escaped a crashed aircraft.
In terms of size Bronson was 5'8" and weighed about middleweight, Eastwood was 6'4" and would have been cruiser/heavyweight. On paper Eastwood should win but something makes me lean toward Bronson.
Bronson had the eyes of a fighter and I think he was less "Hollywood" than Eastwood, part of him was still the blue collar miner he grew up as. He was also a keep fit fanatic well into old age, apparently he could do 100 press ups at 70 years old and if you watch Hard Times notice his body. He was about 53 years old at the time but had a physique comparable to real boxers 20 years younger.
I think Eastwood uses his size and reach advantages to outbox Bronson for the first half of the fight but Bronson's grit and determination keeps him in there. In the later rounds, although fit, Eastwood tires more than Bronson and Bronson gets inside and starts doing some damage. He breaks Eastwood down and TKO's him against the ropes late in the fight.
Bronson TKO13.
Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood easy
Bronson was tough in the Dirty Dozen, and also the DeathWish series......
but Clint has been consistently kicking azzes since the 1950s
he`s done it in on horseback in the old west...
he's done it as a rogue SFPD detective
and he even did it as a Marine Gunnery Seargent
for that very last reason, i favor Clint Eastwood to deafeat Charles Bronson in a street fight....anytime, anywhere
you guys are out of your minds...Bronson would **** Clint Eastwood all the way up.
I really loved both these guys, but face it, in hand to hand combat , it would be Charles Bronson, hands down!

15 rounds between two actors that knew how to use their fists!
