00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Cobra Kai Characters
00:15Who Won the Most Fights.
00:22For this list, we looked at every on-screen bout that took place in this karate universe
00:28up to Season 5's finale to estimate which living fighters on the show defeated the most
00:34people.
00:35If multiple people team up for a fight, they'll split the credit in half.
00:40In the case of ties, we looked at lost records to settle the score.
00:45And before we hit the mat, watch out for spoilers ahead!
00:49Did any of these records surprise you?
00:52Let us know in the comments below!
00:5610.
00:57Dimitri Alexopoulos Seven wins, three losses.
01:01Despite being reluctant to learn karate at first, Dimitri's natural talent has given
01:06him a pretty decent resume in a short period of time.
01:21He's taken down rival Cobra Kai fighters and tournament competitors with just the Miyagi-Do
01:27style alone.
01:40And after learning some of Eagle Fang's techniques, Dimitri had enough knowledge to keep up with
01:45a much more experienced fighter.
01:48Unfortunately, he has suffered crushing losses in and out of a tournament setting.
01:53The time he got his arm broken was a particularly tough defeat to watch.
01:58However, if Dimitri keeps improving, he may have much better stats by the end of the series.
02:129.
02:13Tori Nichols Nine wins, two losses.
02:24Let's address the silver-shaped elephant in the room right away.
02:29Since he paid off a ref so she was guaranteed to win the All-Valley, a couple of her victories
02:35are seriously questionable.
02:37That controversial refereeing brings her true win count closer to seven.
02:43But outside of that competition, Tori can own every single one of her other bouts.
02:48She's proved to be an explosive fighter that can completely dominate a fight in an instant.
02:59Tori's unique blend of mixed martial arts and Cobra Kai makes her difficult to face
03:04off against.
03:05To date, her biggest obstacle has been her longtime rival Sam.
03:10Only the day will come when Tori beats one of the toughest foes she's ever faced fair
03:15and square.
03:168.
03:17John Kreese Nine wins, four losses.
03:40While Kreese has never quite been able to destroy a foe who knows Miyagi-Do karate,
03:46everyone else should definitely fear him.
03:49Before he was even formally trained, he was a scrappy brawler who refused to stay down.
03:56Kreese's karate training overseas only made him more of a serious threat.
04:02Since his fighting style encourages students to be merciless, he will use absolutely any
04:09dirty trick or cheap shot he can to win a battle.
04:13This philosophy and his manipulative tactics ensured that he remained a dangerous force
04:19to reckon with long after he reached his youthful prime.
04:29Although his former friend and Cobra Kai recruit Terry doesn't have quite as many genuine on-screen
04:35wins, the tall snake might catch up one day.
04:427.
04:45Samantha LaRusso Around 11 wins, one loss.
04:51If it weren't for a crooked ref, Sam would technically be undefeated on-screen.
04:57Although she waited until season 2 to really demonstrate her skills, she more than made
05:02up for lost time.
05:04Sam has defeated both armed and barehanded opponents in street fights.
05:18Whenever she has to stick to the rules, her dojo can also count on her to deliver a win.
05:26Sam tends to pull off her most amazing work in tournaments.
05:37What makes her victories more impressive is the fact that she often outclasses tough opponents
05:43like Devin and Tori.
05:45Sam has not taken any shortcuts on her road to become a nearly unbeatable fighter.
05:566.
05:57Eli Hawke Moskowitz 12 wins, 4 losses.
06:07It's hard to believe that there was ever a day where someone would dare to mess with
06:12Hawke.
06:13After enrolling in Cobra Kai, he became known for winning one-on-ones in the most brutal
06:19ways.
06:20At first, Hawke mainly padded his win count with less experienced opponents.
06:26His choice to play on a slightly lower difficulty setting made it harder for him to beat foes
06:31like Sam or Miguel.
06:33However, Hawke was able to pivot, pick up Miyagi-Do lessons, and achieve phenomenal
06:39success.
06:48He racked up a good number of tournament wins before taking the crown of All-Valley Champ.
06:55Hawke's victory count is bound to soar even higher at the rate he's growing.
07:105.
07:11Chosen Taguchi Around 13 wins, 2 losses.
07:24This Miyagi-Do sensei is unquestionably one of the most hardcore fighters around.
07:31His ruthless techniques allow him to easily subdue most opponents.
07:36And since Chosen is willing to kill his enemies, anyone on the wrong side of his fist better
07:41hope he's feeling generous that day.
07:45This hardened warrior has had trouble beating Miyagi-Do masters.
07:55But it's hard to remember that when you see him destroy 6 senseis at once without
08:00breaking a sweat.
08:03Even if we were to count Terry's dishonorable sword strike as a loss, Chosen's record
08:08is still pretty strong.
08:10And if we ever get more flashbacks into his past, we'd probably confirm even more wins.
08:17The Miyagi-Do sensei takes his battles very seriously.
08:21Well, most of the time.
08:344.
08:35Miguel Diaz 16 wins, 2 losses.
08:40Whenever Miguel gears up for a fight, it's a pretty safe bet that he's just going to
08:45walk away happy.
08:47His first professional tournament saw him go undefeated until the moment he was named
08:52the champion.
08:53Without further ado, let me present the trophy to this year's new champion, Miguel Diaz!
09:02Although Miguel got a severe injury, he rebounded as an even stronger fighter.
09:08His successful blend of multiple karate styles has allowed him to continue racking up wins
09:13against whoever thinks they're tough enough to take on the champ.
09:23But despite his rival's best efforts, Miguel has never lost an official match against any
09:29of the show's toughest young fighters.
09:33He just needs to get into a few more battles if he ever hopes to claim the top spot.
09:433.
09:44Robert Robbie Keane Around 20 wins, 6 losses.
10:00This tough karate teen loves to rush into situations where he has one or more huge disadvantages.
10:08That strategy has led him to endure some crushing losses.
10:12But even though he often punches above his weight class or gets outnumbered, he still
10:18has an impressive amount of wins.
10:20Robbie's taken out multiple Cobra Kai's in one go, dominated tournament matches, and
10:26humbled bigger opponents.
10:28All in all, he's taken 20 people down.
10:32The only thing he hasn't achieved is an official award-winning victory.
10:37A couple of Robbie's fiercest rivals have kept him from becoming the All-Valley champ
10:42for two consecutive years in a row.
10:45However, he still has more than enough skill to come back and take the title in the future.
10:592.
11:00Daniel LaRusso Around 21 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw.
11:14One of the most endearing qualities about Daniel LaRusso is that he always picks himself
11:19up after a loss.
11:21Although multiple villains have initially gotten the best of him, he's always managed
11:26to strike back and secure wins against anyone who's kept him down.
11:31Outside of getting satisfying payback as a younger man, Daniel's been nearly untouchable
11:37in his adult life.
11:41He's wrecked everyone from hockey players to thieves while outnumbered and got away relatively
11:50unscathed.
11:51The Miyagi-Do man also managed to evenly match Johnny Lawrence.
11:56And after Terry Silver knocked Daniel off balance, the hero showed the villain what
12:01a Miyagi-Do master could do.
12:03By the time season 5 ended, the former Karate Kid could proudly say he had over 20 wins
12:09under his belt.

12:31Number 1 Johnny Lawrence 29 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw
12:45The sheer fact that Johnny Lawrence has won two All-Valley Championships off-screen would
12:52probably give him enough wins to secure the top spot.
12:56However, his hands have also been rated E for everyone outside of tournaments.
13:02It doesn't matter if you're an old mentor, young criminal, or seasoned karate sensei
13:08to Johnny.
13:09Trying to take him down will usually go very badly for you.
13:17While a few adults have knocked Johnny down a peg from time to time, he's way too stubborn
13:22to accept that one defeat is the end.
13:25After all, he did fight his long-time rival Daniel LaRusso to a stalemate in an extremely
13:31close match.
13:32The Eagle Fang Sensei won't back down until you remember exactly why he's a two-time champion.
