#4. Tom Holland vs. Joshua ‘The Passion’ Pacio

Tom Holland's Spider-Man may be from a different batch of MCU heroes, but he's crossed over to this new arc in the MCU where Shang-Chi is introduced.

Shang-Chi is one of the newest superheroes in the MCU, and even without the Ten Rings, we’ve seen how capable he is in utilizing the different martial arts disciplines he was trained in during his youth.

We’re not sure if Shang-Chi and Spider-Man would ever cross paths in the movies, but Tom Holland could consider stepping up against ONE strawweight world champion Joshua ‘The Passion’ Pacio, who is a little bit like Shang-Chi in real life.

‘The Passion’ trains with the famed Team Lakay stable in the Philippines, which is known for their proficiency in the striking arts. The stable specializes in Wushu, however, they also have kickboxing, Muay Thai, and even Brazilian jiu-jitsu in their arsenal.

Pacio himself has shown that he is a dangerous all-around fighter, claiming nine submissions and seven knockouts in his 20 professional wins.

Does Tom Holland as Peter Parker versus Joshua Pacio without the Ten Rings look more even than the powered-up versions of Spider-Man and Shang-Chi?


#3. Tom Holland vs. Capitan Petchyindee Academy

The MCU’s Captain Marvel is one of its most powerful heroes, and even as Spider-Man, Tom Holland may not stand a chance against her energy beams and strength, among other things.

In a ONE Super Series fight though, Tom Holland can try to hold his own against a different “captain” in Capitan Petchyindee Academy.

The ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion is considered one of the top Muay Thai stars in the world, having close to 200 matches to his name. Not to mention, Capitan’s fists are loaded with dynamite and he can end fights with a single punch.

Tom Holland may need his spidey senses to get out of the way just before those punches connect, because if they do, it’s lights out for the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Needless to say, while Tom Holland may not have to deal with superpowers against Capitan, he will certainly have his work cut out.
