does size matter in fights resolved

Well im 21 years old and just for all you people you shouldnt even be fighting in the first place its stupid but i was at a party this guy got all riled up at me because i was talking to his girlfriend i didnt even know he was a bit buzzed so he starts picking a fight with me. im Not going to like i was a little intimidated the guy was about 6 foot 4 190lbs. so to make the long story short im 5 feet 10 inches about 235 pounds. Im a really built guy no not a body builder im just naturally wide and broad from my genetics and genes. So of course im a bit scared because this guys alot taller then me by 6 inches i mean the top of my forehead goes to about under his nose. And i didnt want to look like a B*tch infront of my friends i know male ego blah blah blah. But so we went into the back yard we started fighting this guy had long rangey punches long kicks i mean right away i could see his height gave him a good advantage with the range but i did give him to much credit thinking because he was big he was just naturally better at fighting then me because i was shorter. I got in close took a few punches i mean i was so pumped on adrenalin i didnt even feel it. but i picked him up by his legs and slammed him as hard as i could on the ground like a spine buster from wrestling and i instantly knocked the guy out when his head hit the ground. I was shocked how quick it was and at the same time my confidence jumped up pretty high on the whole theory of taller is always better. But i guess i had a advantage also i out weighed him by 45 pounds what do you guys think?

There's a reason why professional fighting matches are paired up by weight.

Attacks by lighter people will just bounce off the heavier person.

I think it's all a mental game, really.

If someone is determined enough, they can definitely take down a larger foe.

Definately this. A certain craziness and lack of self regard and safety can be extremely helpful for the typically smaller man in a fight.

I think size helps but doesnt always decide a fight.

Strength, speed, and wit are the deciding factors usually.

I'm a skinny guy, and if some big guy was pushing me away I could just keep running towards him and trying to take him out, I would never get tired cause I'm skinny and I have no fat. Really big people can't run fast, and they can't move fast so I could easily defeat a guy bigger then me.

It doesn't matter if he can punch hard, I can easily dodge anything. So size does not matter in a fight, it would actually be harder to fight someone who is my size rather then a guy who is bigger then me.

[QUOTE="Paladin_King"] Yup, especially as how almost every fight i've ever seen ends up with the two idiots "clinching," or trying to grab a hold of each other at some point.

Yeah but if I can move fast and he throws a punch, theres a 90% chance he will not hit me full force because I'll be moving.

Dude trust me size doesn't matter. I heard one big guy say before if someone stabs him he won't be injured or anything, yeah right :|
Those guys think they are unstoppable. I've known of small girls who beat up really big guys before, and they put them in the hospital.

Size never matters, if a small guy knows how to fight he can take down pretty much anyone.

Um...no offence...but have you been in a lot of fights? He's huge, so he wouldn't just "push you away," he'd push you over, you'd fall on the ground, he'd swarm you, get on top of you, and beat the living hell out of you. Kind of hard to "run away" if a huge guy is sitting on you beating your face in. I hate to break it to you, but you are not that fast. Unless you have formal martial arts training of some sort, you are not Keanu Reeves from the Matrix. Without proper training, you cannot dodge every single punch he throws (and if he connects with one clean, you're out), you cannot get back up fast enough to escape him swarming you if he pushes you over, which he will. You cannot get away if he swarms you period, even if he just pushes you away and not down.

The only advantage an untrained combatant has speed wise is to....well, turn right around and sprint as fast away from the big guy as possible, which obviously is the opposite of fighting.

You can't "easily dodge anything." i take it you're a trained boxer/kickboxer then? Also the idea of "running towards him again and again is just ludicrous, as is the idea that skinny guys can NEVER get tired. I honestly don't think you have any idea of what you're talking about. A

lso, if you're really that skinny, how's your punching power? Speed also doesn't make a bit of difference unless you're trained in how to use it (how to dodge punches....how to exploit your faster handspeed, learning footwork and head movement in general...), in which case, as i said earlier in the thread, training trumps size unless the big guy is also trained.

Once again, weight cla(sses exist for a reason.

[QUOTE="joshrocks2245"]

[QUOTE="Vfanek"] Then he jumps into guard position lowring himself down, forcing you to fall to the floor with him. You're skinny, he won't have a problem getting you in a triangle or armbar. Maybe he just throws a punch that isn't a bloody haymaker, you'll go down fast. Size matters, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

I am completely clueless?? How do you know about my experiences in life?? I've been in fights with large people and they get tired so fast, I never get tired, I can fight for like 10 minutes and not be tired.
Yeah I can dodge punches for like 1 minute and then the large guy can barely breathe because hes already so tired.
I can throw like 50 punches in just a minute and not even be tired, so thats how I have won fights before.

I remember this one fight between Kimbo slice and some guy called Seth I think, and Seth wasn't as big as Kimbo but he knows hows to how to fight and Seth knocked him out so fast.
Big guys aren't that great in fights, even if a big guy was grabbing onto me I could still beat him.

Yeah I've heard that before that some big guy can just push me over and beat the crap out of me. Funny thing is, it never happens.
Yeah one clean punch and I'm out, problem is most large guys don't have good aim so it's not one good clean punch and I'm out dude.

You know what I'm not getting in an argument about fighting, people always think they are so tough but really not many people are that tough.
Some large guys I was friends with used to think they were so tough, but they stopped thinking that once they ended up in wheelchairs for the rest of their life cause they messed with the wrong people.

lmao at you bringing up Kimbo Slice. As i said, training trumps size, but when training is equal, size wins. Seth Petruzelli is a trained mixed martial arts fighter. Kimbo Slice was a terrible piece of crap pulled off of the streets and promoted into something that he wasn't and given a few months of training with Bas Rutten.By your logic, Couture should've annihilated Lesnar, but that didn't happen, now did it? Where sty(le and skill is even, size wins.

I still say you're talking out of your ass. That said,if you did win the one fight you reference (let's pretend that's real), you fought an out of shape fat guy who was perhaps even more unskilled than you. Let's pretend that he's the same weight and just as unskilled, but actually was relatively in shape. Still think you would have won? For God's sake, it took you, in your own words, "50 punches" and ten whole minutes to beat an absolutely exhausted, helpless fat guy. Good job. Hell, with your punching power, the guy should've just conserved energy...it's not like you were going to knock him out any time soon.

I said it took 10 minutes to beat him?? I said I can fight for 10 minutes and not be tired, I've never been in a fight that lasted 10 minutes dude.

Dude you don't even know if I can fight or if I can't, you don't know if I've had training or anything.
I'm done with this argument, I find getting in an argument over people who think they are tough just silly. I don't think I'm tough, I'm just saying a guy who is trained to fight can beat a larger guy.

joshrocks2245

Then they clearly don't know what they're doing. "Aim" has nothing to do with size. By that logic, Vladimir Klitschko shouldn't be able to hit a barn, let alone another professional boxer.

And honestly, "people always think they are so tough?" The only guy acting tough here is you by proclaiming your ability to regularly and easily beat people far larger than yourself.

And let me get this straight, evidence of your combat acument is.....putting a former friend in a wheelchair? Good for you. Oh and "the wrong people?" So i take it was a fair fight then? One on one? Hand-to-hand? That's appalling, to be honest.

Dude you don't even know if I can fight or if I can't, you don't know if I've had training or anything.

joshrocks2245

Again, where did i say that I was tough? I've not once in this thread discussed any training nor discussed any of my experience. Never once did i say that i could beat anyone. The only person "acting tough" in this thread is you, with your talk of beating people with ease and putting folks in wheelchairs. lol at your hypocrisy.

And if you have had training, please share. Not saying you haven't, but it's weird you've not once mentioned any thus far. That, and I'm always interested to hear about peoples' martial arts experience.

good for you. i alway go for the underdog.:)

anyway i think size matters for strength or whatever but it really comes down to who is a better fighter.

Size helps, but I've seen people take down people twice their size. Skill matters.
