First off, cats REALLY should be kept indoors, strictly as housepets. They lead much longer, healthier, happier lives if you keep them inside!
Also, the "scrappiest" (i.e., the most-aggressive) cats are not necessarily the largest ones.
Maine Coons are, indeed, the largest of the breeds (on average), but they're more lovers than fighters. And they're very social, in that they like to be around other cats. So if you do decide to get a couple of Maine Coon HOUSEcats, then do them a favor a get two littermates to keep one another company.
Also, cats are not dogs: They are territorial, but they're not like pit-bulls--something to put out in your yard to attack the other cats and keep them at bay. Encouraging cat-fights is never a good idea--cats can do one another a lot of damage (which is one of the many reasons why they do better if you keep them in your home). And vet bills are expensive! (Also, cat fighting spreads FIV--the kitty version of AIDS!)
P.S. I just had another thought. I mentioned pit bulls in my answer, and it just occurred to me that if you want something big, nasty, and violent in your yard to clear out the neighborhood cats, then why not just get a pit bull? The only downside I can see to it is that you might have insurance/liability problems if you own a potentially-dangerous breed of dog, and the same would not hold true if you were to own some mean, nasty-assed tom-cat.

maine Coons are one of the biggest kitties, they can get up to 25 to 30 lbs..BUT they are known for being cuddly and loving.
the size doesn't matter about the bullying.
and why would you want to have a cat for that reason? thats not a good reason to get a cat.

Look for attitude not size. But you shouldn't encourage your cats to fight. Why would you want 'sort out' the other cats? Are they getting the better of you? Playing mean tricks on you? Calling you bad names? Bullying you? What is it ?

The Maine Coon breed is huge, and thay have kinda long hair, so they look even bigger. I don't know what the cost is, it probably varies by region and breeder.
If you are having cat problems, my cat weighs 22lbs and he ain't taking nuttin from no alley cats. he's available for hire.

I have what I think is a Ragdoll....he's 25 pounds, and I was lucky enough to have him given to me, but I think they are really expensive...$700 or $800 . He wouldn't be the bully of the neighbourhood...he's too much of a wuss and a sweetie.

Uh, cats do not think like we do, nor do they act like we do, so even if you have the biggest cat, you might have the biggest sissy on the block. Go to the pound and look for a cat with attitude. Actually, you sound strange. Please don't get a cat at all.
