SpaceCase - you're right, Fry isn't anywhere near violent enough. He needs to become more brutal and bloodthirsty if he wants to win Leela's kung-fu heart.
It's difficult to respect a man who won't beat another man half to death over a small disagreement.
However my initial Fry VS Zapp idea wasn't completely about physical combat, just a more general hatred leading to different kinds of competitive and dastardly behaviour. Zapp might drum-up reasons to have Fry arrested to get him out of the picture for example, and Fry might see fit to demand an apology from Zapp when he makes inappropriate comments to Leela, etc etc.
But you know Fry would just have to punch the bastard in the mouth at least once.

LOL Leela in the lava pit
just remember in parasites lost how the truckers were insulting Leela and Fry was trying to defend her and he only succeeded in making it worse, i mean if i was fry right then i would have just hooked the guy at the beginning, Fry's too dumb to be violent if you ask me

Too dumb to be violent? That seems a contridiction in terms, doesn't it? I mean, look at America's President. It seems the stupider the person the more total and widespread their violence becomes.
Fry certainly enjoys shooting things. Punching is just a purer form of the same impulse.

I think if Fry was too violent, he wouldn't be so perfect for Leela because Leela needs to be the dominant one in the relationship and Fry's like the sweet 'boy next door' type of guy. But then Leela would still be heaps impressed if he hurt Zapp for her. He just can't be too violent because it would change his image.

coldangel - what i mean is that, in parasites lost for example, Fry doesn't seem to understand what the truckers are on about, so maybe he's not too dumb to be violent, he's just too dumb to understand an insult that would lead to violence

I have decided to respond to this issue with a little story fragment I've had on my hard drives for a long time...one of the many that will probably just exist as fragments and never germinate into actual stories. 

 :)

~~~~~

[The situation: because of various plot contrivance, Leela, Fry and Zapp are marooned on a deserted tropical planetoid.  For some reason, Fry is finding Zapp exceptionally annoying - as much as, say, Günther in Mars U.  Leela has sent the two bickering males off to search for food while she works on the shelter or something. ]

~~~~~

“Ah!  The biggest kokonuts!” Zapp exclaimed smugly “Exceptionally round and firm.  This will win me the hand of the lovely Leela.  And other bodily parts as well.”

“Ha,” Fry muttered, though he abandoned three of his smaller kokonuts.  As Zapp was noisily smooching his pair of nuts, Fry raised his voice and added,  “The only hand you’ll get from Leela is the one making a fist.  In your face.

“The fist of love,” Zapp declared, “I remember it fondly.”  He delicately licked each kokonut on the nub of its broken stem. 

Fry felt an uncommon heat rising in the back of his brain.  As he savagely yanked a couple of nuts free from their trunk, he added “And the only other part you’ll ever get is her big honkin’ boot, as she makes a spectacular flying round kick into your flabby stomach!”

“Brave words from one who hasn’t so much as reached first blern, let alone driven home the grand sexy slammer that the Zapper has.”  He accompanied his speech with descriptive thrusts of his pelvis.

Fry growled, and threw his kokonuts to the ground.  “That does it!  Maybe I’ve never gotten into her underpants, or even her overpants, but that’s just because she’s never felt nearly as sorry for me as she did for you!”  He put his hands on his hips proudly.  “On the scale of losers, Zapp Brannigan, you are at the bottom, while I am comfortably ensconced in the lower middle range!  Put that up your tacky miniskirt and swallow it!”

Zapp dropped his kokonuts and assumed a threatening mein (and glowering a mean threat).  “You dare mock Zapp Brannigan and his spiffy velour uniform?”

Fry folded his arms and glared through narrowed eyes.  “Huh.  On you, it looks like gabardine.”

Brannigan’s eyes flared as wide as his skirt, quickly followed by his nostrils, and Fry suddenly remembered that Zapp had half a foot and twenty pounds of flab on him.  “Nyuh!” he squealed, and ran instinctively for safety.  “Leela!”

~~~~~

Leela had finally gotten the roof-frame stable again when the she heard Fry’s approaching voice, yelling “Leela!  Help!” 

Quickly she let the poles drop and sprinted in the direction it came from.  Before she’d gone far, however, Fry burst into the clearing...followed a moment later by Zapp.

Fry immediately hid behind her.  “Help, Leela! He’s after me!”

Zapp attempted to circle her, snatching at Fry, who was keeping Leela between them.  “Your cowardice is revealed!  If you were a REAL man, you’d have much better things to do from behind a woman than hide there!”

The realization that they were in no ACTUAL danger made Leela’s temper boil over.  She half-turned, grabbed both of them by the collar, and slammed their heads together.  It sounded oddly like two kokonuts colliding.

“Owwww,” Fry said, sitting up and rubbing his head. 

Zapp moaned from where he sprawled in the grass.  “....Kif, get the number of that cargo ship that hit me...have the pilot pureéd.  And lay out my formal hospital gown.”

“All right!” Leela said. “I’ve had enough of you two!  We have to work together to survive in this situation, in case you both forgot!  If you’re going to act like children, then I’ll separate you.  Fry, you go east.  Zapp, you go west.  And don’t come back until you think you can pretend to behave like something vaguely approximating an adult!”

Fry scrambled up.  “But Leela - “

Leela pointed over his shoulder.  “Go!”

Fry said, softly but emphatically, “But Leela, he insulted you!”

Leela rolled her eye, and lowered her voice.  “Don’t you think I know that?  He’s Zapp! I don’t expect any better from him.  But I do expect a little better from you.”

For half a second, Fry brightened, and then his face fell like a tottering tower of Slurm cans.  With one last, mortified glance, he turned and hurried east.

Leela swallowed, already regretting her harshness.

“Ah, alone at last....” Zapp began.

Leela whirled on him, regret flown.

“ - ah, eh, I’ll...just be going bweast.  Er, west,”  Zapp corrected, walking quickly away.

Leela closed the distance.  “Wait one moment.  I have something to tell you, Zapp dear.”

“You do?!” Zapp spun back, smiling like a kid with a balloon.  Quickly he recovered, pulling his smugness back on.  “That is - of course you do!”  He brushed off his uniform.  “Which way do you want me?  Myself, I favor on - “

Leela seized his collar in one fist, pulling his head down even with hers and twisting the fabric tight.

“GACK!” said Zapp.

“I can put up with your sleazy insults,” she began.

“Kckh, sputter, zhck!” said Zapp.

“...and your inane insinuations, your single entendrés, and your utter lack of respect for me as a biological life form...”

“Hrh, hrh, glckhckhck!” said Zapp.

“...but I want you to know one thing.”  Leela brought his eye (the one that wasn’t wincing) even with hers and bored her gaze into it.  “If Fry gets so much as a paper cut or a bug bite because of you, I’ll break your kneecaps, cover you with syrup, and leave you in front of a millipincer nest.  Do you understand me?”

Zapp waved his arms a little, his face turning blue.

“Oh, and first,” she added, “To give them the scent, I’ll remove and throw them something of yours that’s small, soft, and rarely sees any use.”

“.....g-g-gck?!?![/i]”

“No.  NOT your brain!”  Leela released him.

“...ghchyeeee-hyAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!”  Zapp gasped, inhaling.

Leela turned her back on him and started over to the fallen shelter.

Zapp heaved in air a couple of times.  “Leela, my - - “

Leela turned and GLARED.

“- - temporary but VERY respected commander, aye aye!  At once!  Zapp Brannigan, speeding away!” 

Zapp Brannigan speeded away.

Uhm, not quite what I had in mind.
True, seeing some jerk who desperately deserves it, getting pulverized does Leela’s heart a world of good, and she does respect physical prowess, but I’ve always thought Fry would tend to counterbalance her violent impulses.

Fry could punch him, I can see it too, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be a very good punch.  I wouldn't be surprised if he even missed Zapps jaw on the first attempt.  And Leela would either love him for trying, or act how she did in PL when Fry tried to defend her.

Actually, I can totally see Fry giving Zapp a really good punch to the jaw. He's stupid, but not so stupid that he couldn't defend Leela when she is in trouble. Look at L and R-he was smart enough to know that connecting his oxygen tube to hers would save her. Sure, he'd need a pretty intense action to make him do it, but who knows what Zapp's capable of. Maybe even a little touchy-feely in places he shou;dn't be touchy-feely-ing, and POW! A good'un, straight to the head.
I can see it now....

Great literature, shiny.

As for Fry punching Zapp, I kind of imagine it in a moment of insane fury when he snaps and lashes out like that time Homer punched Mr Burns on the Simpsons, and then he'd be all shocked at himself.

Then Leela might do THIS and shock HERself:

Those 'Anger Management and Conflict Resolution' lessons are paying off.    ;)

Her underlying devotion to Fry and her undying hatred of Zapp ooze from the screen in this little diatribe.  Of course I love it.

Oh crap - I better edit this and add:

Welcome back Venus - I hope your move was without problems and glad to see you have your internet up and running.  I hope the cats adapt to their new home quickly.

Oooh, ooh! I can bring a cake! I have one on my fridge right now. A delicious ice cream cake, with chocolate icing that glops right into your mouth, and sprinkles. Mmmm, sprinkles.
Back on-topic, though, I could also see Fry interjecting, rather than physically hurting Zapp. Think this:
Zapp: So, my lusious fox-chariot Leela, how would you like to spend a bit more quality time in the loooovenasium with the big Z?
Leela: I've already told you before, Zapp, that night was a mistake. And I don't wanna here this bull come out of your mouth anymore, got it?
Zapp: Ah, but I have my ways of getting a lady into bed...
*procedes to advance to Leela*
Fry: Don't you dare hurt Aunt Martha!
Leela: I'm Leela.
Fry: Oh, yah. Anyways, we can take this outside, mano-to-mano, if you want, you ass.
Zapp: Eh...n-no, I couldn't do that I'd, uh...lose my rank as captain, yah that's it. A reasonable excuse to get out of something that might hurt.
Fry: C'mon Leela, let's go. This guy's about as harmful as a sack full of kittens.

See? No violence whatsoever, and Fry still manages to protect her. I doubt the Zapper would ever willingly allow himself to get into a fight for fear of losing. The big pussy...
