   When you're the Slayer, fighting isn't just part of the job; it is the job.   
   As the Chosen One, Buffy is given superpowers so she can easily dispense   
   with the various Hellmouth beasties who threaten the human race. Compared to   
   her, most of these underwordly adversaries are mediocre fighters at best. It   
   makes you wonder why they don't just pack up shop and leave Sunnydale   
   altogether.   
      
   But every now and again, along comes an opponent that gets the best of Buffy   
   and the gang. Skilled as she is, Buffy has had her clock cleaned on more   
   than one occasion. And that's just fighting with her enemies. There have   
   been several instances of Buffy having to go toe to toe with friends and   
   lovers alike. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's cup runneth over with thrilling   
   fight scenes and juicy conflict. Mixing them together is TV at its finest,   
   but some of these scenes are so intense it's tough for even the most devout   
   Buffy fans to watch.   
      
      
   10 BUFFY VS. SUNDAY   
      
   It's rare that a Monster of the Week proves to be an actual threat to the   
   Slayer. Sunday, the trash-talking, gothic mean girl vampire, should have   
   been less bothersome than an earache. But as awesome a superhero as Buffy   
   may be, she's also human. As a college freshman, Buffy feels lost in this   
   new chapter of her life and the stress eats away at her. When she crosses   
   paths with Sunday, Buffy is hardly in fighting form. Sunday paws at Buffy   
   like a cat with a ball of yarn, and even sprains the Slayer's arm. We don't   
   know what's harder to stomach—Buffy getting her butt kicked, or the fact   
   that it was courtesy of the most annoying vampire ever. Luckily, Buffy gets   
   her mojo back and helps Sunday "find her way" into becoming a pile of dust.   
      
      
   9 BUFFY VS. UBERVAMP   
      
   The final season finds Buffy and the Scoobies gearing up for the biggest   
   fight of their lives. On the other side of the battlefield is an army of   
   Ubervamps. Unlike regular vampires, Ubervamps have no shred of humanity.   
   They are stronger, deadlier, and even Buffy is no match for them. Or so it   
   seems. Her first encounter with an Ubervamp leaves Buffy reeling, but she   
   knows she has to defeat one to prove to the Potentials that they have a   
   puncher's chance of winning the ultimate battle. Buffy tricks an Ubervamp   
   into a fight, with Potentials and Scoobies looking on.   
      
   The Ubervamp has the upper hand and beats Buffy bloody, but she has years of   
   Slayer experience on her side. As soon as she finds an in, Buffy strangles   
   the Ubervamp with a wire. She may look a little worse for wear, but if   
   anyone can pull off the impossible, it's Buffy.   
      
      
   8 BUFFY VS. ANYA   
      
   Having to kill your friends can be such a drag. But Anya put Buffy in a   
   difficult position. Spurned by Xander, Anya resumes her career as a   
   vengeance demon with her powers fully reinstated. Among the wishes she   
   grants, Anya rips out the hearts of an entire UC Sunnydale fraternity.   
   Apparently, this is a bridge too far for Buffy. Despite their history, Anya   
   is a lethal demon and when it comes to those, Buffy's job is pretty clear.   
      
   Even as a demon, Anya is still no match for Buffy. The Slayer stabs her   
   former friend with a sword, but Anya's powers prevent her from dying. Though   
   she lives, the idea that Anya almost dies at Buffy's hand is absolutely   
   haunting.   
                   [being unkillable, and given enough time - and without   
   Xander's interference, I think in the end, Anya could slay the slayer.]   
      
   7 SPIKE VS. ROBIN   
      
   If anyone has excellent motive for killing Spike, it's Robin Wood. Spike   
   killed Robin's mother, a Slayer, when Robin was a toddler. In present day,   
   Robin lures Spike into a locked room with crosses all over the walls. It's a   
   brilliant move on Robin's part who, though strong, can't compete with   
   Spike's vampire strength. Robin even resorts to psychological warfare,   
   playing "Early One Morning", a song he knows is a trigger which turns Spike   
   into a heartless, violent animal.   
      
   But Spike has come a long way. He has a soul now and is able to process the   
   pain of his past, including his own mommy issues. The song ceases to have an   
   effect and Spike, fully in control of his mental faculties, beats the tar   
   out of Robin. He may have had it coming, but it's hard not to sympathize   
   with a man who wants to avenge his mother's death.   
      
      
   6 BUFFY VS. GLORY   
      
   By the time Glory comes around, Buffy has some pretty epic fights under her   
   belt. But nothing could prepare her for facing off against a hell goddess.   
   Throughout Season 5, Glory's fighting relationship with Buffy resembles that   
   of Sid and his toys in Toy Story. Glory turns Buffy into Whipping Girl   
   Barbie, regularly whaling on the Slayer, wondering how much she can take   
   before her head pops off.   
      
   But while Glory is Buffy's strongest enemy, bar none, she has no fight   
   strategy because she's never needed one. So when Glory's time on Earth   
   weakens her, Buffy and the Scoobies take advantage. It takes an enchanted   
   troll's hammer, a wrecking ball, and a whole lotta punches, but they're   
   finally able to smite Glory down.   
      
      
   5 BUFFY VS. SPIKE   
      
   Buffy and Spike spend a lot of time beating the crap out of each other. In   
   the beginning, it's just business. Spike is jonesing to kill the Slayer;   
   Buffy, understandably, doesn't want that to happen. But then things get   
   complicated. Spike falls for Buffy. She doesn't return the feelings. Perfect   
   grounds for a knock-down, drag-out fight.   
      
   Upon Buffy's resurrection, Spike discovers he can hurt her without his chip   
   activating. Alone together in an abandoned house, Buffy and Spike attack   
   each other, hurling vicious insults in between blows. They exploit each   
   other's physical and emotional vulnerability. Their violence quickly turns   
   to arousal as the two have passionate, angry sex that literally brings the   
   house down. These two are poison for each other and like many toxic   
   romances, it all started with a punch.   
      
      
   4 BUFFY VS. ANGEL   
      
   Sometimes you have to cut people out of your life. When you're the Slayer,   
   this means literally. After Angel loses his soul, Buffy has the opportunity   
   to kill him but can't follow through because she still loves him. Now, with   
   the fate of the world at stake, Buffy knows she can't make that mistake   
   twice. With sword in tow, Buffy is now ready to kill the love of her life.   
      
   Their sword fight is as vicious as it is artful. Though evenly matched,   
   Buffy and Angel's fighting styles couldn't be more different. Buffy has the
