Quite bluntly, no. Fists can be good, but the entire point of weapons is that they're BETTER than your bare hands. To illustrate a point: even the best boxer in the world can be killed by a thug with a knife. All it takes is flailing the knife around to open up a vein or an artery, and then you're done for. Larger weapons are even more dangerous - a sword or a spear could make a mockery out of even the best brawler, since they'd be outranged. Heck, even a club could.
