Knowing the specific versions is important... This is Ripley after Aliens and Sarah Connor after Terminator 2.
Both walk into a locked room, only one comes out... which would it be? Discuss -- Which one of these ladies has met her match?
In most situations, Sarah Connor would win that fight. She's in better physical shape, has had extensive (if ad-hoc) unarmed combat training, and whole LOT more combat training - including fun stuff like incendiaries and explosives.
EDIT: I am presuming a hand-to-hand fight, unarmed, in an empty room.

Correct, though, a la pro wrestling, if one wants to postulate a possible improvised weapon, go right ahead.

^_^ Then an inevitable "Conchairto" will occur on the equally inevitable critter slithering from underneath the ring, much to the audience's delight. Tag-team Smackethdown ensues.
I'd have to vote Sarah Conner as well. Using the timeframes you mention Sarah was a much better fighter then Ripley in comparison. If you had gone further in the movie timelines, Alien4 Ripley would trash Sarah without breaking a sweat.

Sleep deprived Sarah Connor fell backwards against the cinema seat gasping for breath that would never come. The Egg disguised by the Jumbo Popcorn left by Ellen Ripley in the seat behind her was an empty shell to the thing now tightening its grip around her neck and forcing itself down her throat like a Holywood Producer looking to get her into a role.
When she awoke, it was all too obvious she had done her money...the pain in her chest as she paid for a second ticket wasnt subsiding.
"Damn that third bag of sweets." She passed her ticket to the usher and went back in.
The Seat was heavy and she sank into it, but the pain was all the more intense. At the moment the lights went dark, it exploded from her chest.
Ellen smiled as the screams of suffering echoed from the Theater...
"And that is what you get for attempting to cross over into a Terminator vs Aliens, B~$!*!"
Fight over.
Can I cheer for the defeat of ... their clothes?

Only if we're broadcasting to Europe. As anyone who has ever watched American visual media knows, copious amounts of violence is fine, swearing like a sailor is OK, but peeking at naughty bits is a no-no...

I know what you mean.
Seem like our values (I am an American) are a bit skewed.

Is this broadcast on network television? Because I have seen plenty of naughty bits in plenty of American films. Hell you even saw some side boobage in T:1 and don't forget Ripley's panty scene in Alien.
I'm so waiting for a Terminator vs. Predator vs. Aliens, set after Judgement Day but before the fall of Sky-net. Aliens bursting out of Terminators' chests and it doesn't even phase them.
Surprise, it turns out that Ripley is a Terminator.
Now, that would put a surprise twist on our little cage match.
Concensus seems to be that Sarah Connor would win a straight-up fight. What about a Most Dangerous Game situation? Each is captured, put on an otherwise deserted jungle island, set up with a knife, told that the one who hunts down and neutralizes the other gets a free pass off the island. Does Ripley's determination and seeming ability to read the shadows count for more here?

Discuss --
Neither of them is prone to following the rules or doing what they are told. They would have an epic and brutal, but ultimately inconclusive fight, and then team up and take the fight to the jerk who put them on the island in the first place.
In the end, they'd take his private jet off the island, leaving behind a corpse with two knives sticking out of it.

...okay, I'm good.
Man, I'm torn. I really am. I think I lean more towards Ripley, but I truly couldn't say who I'd really want to win.
I guess that's why I'd prefer to run with Set's take on the scenario, they might scrap for a bit, but they're smart enough to realize what's what and they'd team up and maybe kiss DAMN IT @$#$ING HELL

Sheesh -- Maybe we just should've started a slashfic thread instead... :-P
Note: I am not encouraging anyone to post said writing type on the boards; family-friendly environment and all. I'm just sayin'...
(sigh)
I'm disappointed. Everyone knows Ripley would nuke Sarah Connor from orbit. Sarah would think the attack is part her dream about the future destruction of man, do nothing, and then... die.
Ripley 1
Connor 0
[End of Line]

You are missing the point.
The point is to: "Think Dirty Thoughts.." ;D
[Homer Simpson voice] Mmmmmm .... dirty thoughts ... [/Homer Simpson voice]
