Who is more superior Hercule poirot or Sherlock holmes?

Answer 1

Ah -- the "little gray cells" vs "the game is afoot!"

Both had wonderful idiosyncrasies be it fastidiousness or a penchant for cocaine.

I'll take Holmes because:
1. He came before Christie's Poirot.
2. He had a faithful chronicler in Dr. Watson
3. The through-line of all the stories that Moriarty might be behind it all.
4. Doyle killed him off and the public demanded his return.

Answer 2

Sherlock Holmes was the best. He could solve cases quicker than Poirot in his armchair and so was called the armchair detective but Poirot also gives him a tough competition as they are the best of the best fictional detectives of all times. Writing Sherlock Holmes was a hobby but writing Hercule Poirot was a job. Sherlock has already proved his wits in just 56 short stories and 4 novels but Poirot has proved in many cases. Sherlock Holmes could solve a case at his armchair but he travelled to just get evidences and Poirot also had the same ability. Sherlock Holmes and Poirot are friends as they work in the same profession .There are no FIGHTS but they could have solved cases in seconds if they were together. Compare the fights against cases to a athletic running race and I would feel Sherlock Holmes and Poirot would have been a tie or the winner would be Sherlock Holmes with Poirot loosing by 0.000000000000000000000000001 sec. Holmes and Poirot rock and they are cool.They are not supposed to be compared

Answer 3

I find Poirot to be a much better read. Agatha Christi created such an interesting character. Sherlock Holmes is a great character and more famous, but I much prefer Poirot. He seems more human to me. Holmes is more super hero and it goes a little too far sometimes.

Answer 4

Sherlock holmes i think
