Do you think newer chess players could go toe to toe with the more insane ones like fischer in a boxing ring?

That would be an interesting fight.
Google chess-boxing
I guess that "Fischer" could probably have some of them, although at first glance some of them could easily be underestimated like Daniil Dubov for example, who can perform one handed pull-ups, so who knows what else he's capable of if in a pugilistic rage. :D
It could get interesting if Fischer is allowed to bludgeon opponent with a thick endgame manual.

It would be poetic justice and dark irony too, if he himself wrote the manual. :D
Perhaps Carlson, I think everyone has seen the video of him pounding the table.

I saw a video where two GMs both said they thought the other would beat them in a chessboxing match. I want to say the two were Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura? I know they're both active on YouTube. I think Hikaru might've even said that he'd be willing to do chessboxing for a certain amount of money.
I'd kick over a scooteroom full of chuzzards before breaking a bishops knee
