Huns VS Mongols

Both are great at kicking lily white European ass. Both were very feared in their time. Both were very successful and had never been stopped by anyone (as far as I remember, although I don't know the Huns as well as I know the Mongols). Who wins this one? The Mongols are led by Genghis, the Huns by Attila. No outside help or interference allowed.

Different eras, but the Mongols would raped the Huns. Attila was no match for the military genius Genghis. The Huns would of stood no chance.

Very easy question to answer. Before Genghis went on his rampage, he 1st united the Mongols through force. That meant that old Genghis knew how to beat the Steppes peoples while Atilla gain his reputation against foot infantry.

Huns - Nomadic horsearchers base on a warrior/warlord society.

Mongol - Nomadic horsearchers with sophisticated organization base on the decimal system, meritocracy, and discipline.

Mongols have superior bows and the stirrup.

Mongols would kill the huns.
This is like comparing the disciplined and organized Romans to the Gauls. The only thing they have in common is that they both used swords.
