Seriously, if he wants to fight you, the only way to win is to deny him the fight.

Otherwise, you beat him, he can have you prosecuted. Your posts on this forum are sufficient evidence of premeditation to commit bodily harm, and would help put you away. That would make you the criminal (convicted) with him free to mess around. If he is seriously injured, you may also have to pony up for damages in addition to facing more serious charges. Ultimately, he wins.

Otherwise, he beats you, and you get to live with whatever injuries are incurred, plus he'll be more aggressive in the future. You can try to sue him, but that's a crap shoot and hardly worth the pain and risk. Ultimately, he wins.

If you avoid the fight and find alternative ways of dealing with the situation, you will eliminate the risks noted above and have a greater chance of long-term success. You might start by anonymously providing evidence of his prior criminal activities to the police...
