well lets put things in perspective shall we mr.
dutch was as big as a bull, 6 foot 5 of pure muscle and military trained. ripley was a skinny female, trained as a warrant officer, already not quite in the same league.
second, dutch only had ONE predator to deal with. Ripley has dealt with a massive quantity of xenomorphs.
thirdly, ripley died giving her OWN life to save humanity, thats about as courageous as you can get, i dont see Dutch doing that in a hurry.
fourth, if Dutch was so supreme, why the hell didnt he get written in to the predator sequel? Ripley had character, she wasn't one dimensional, you actually felt for her, had empathy watching her go through the motions and try to fight for her life, without any training and only survival instict, she fought off the aliens, dutch, again, massive muscle bound freak, leader of a crack commando squad didnt do so well against 1 predator who even took off his armour for the battle.
