does size matter in fights resolved

Size doesn't really matter, sure it is a factor, but not an absolute factor.

He assumed I'm a punk and I've only been in a few street fights. The other guy assumed it took me 10 minutes to beat up some guy. I don't know why people make up things on here when they don't even know me.

Not my fault if your post was poorly written. By the way, I thought you said you were going to stay out of this thread? That you'd given up on it? Welcome back. I assume you're here to discuss your training?

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

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

[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. If you're way bigger, you'll just toss the other dude and pound the living crap out of him. Also, obviously your strikes we'll have a lot more force.Paladin_King

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.

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.

Lol sounds like the fights ive been in.

fyi I'm the big guy :P

I think size helps but doesnt always decide a fight.

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

No, but you shouldn't join a combat related argument if you've only fought few folks who just finished their bottle of vodka.Vfanek

Yeesh,here you go again assuming things.

Lto_thaG

By saying that you're showing you have none. If you'd ever grappled, you would've known size matters. If you've ever been punched or kicked, you would've known size matters. If you've ever.. Nah nevermind.

There's all kinds of ways to be succesful in a fight, you just have to be really good in those certain ways. If you're just a big fat slab of meat and get into a fight with Jet Li you'll probbaly have your ass kicked... Technique, stamina, agression, are all important. So does size matter? Perhaps sometimes it does, but there's all sorts of other things that matter.

I don't feel like elaborating on my experiences.I know that size does not matter.
Maybe it's something that depends on a person,for me..Size just doesn't matter.

Lto_thaG

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="Vfanek"] Then explain why there are weight divisions in boxing and MMA for example?

Vfanek

[QUOTE="Vfanek"]

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] Whoa,don't comment on any of that.I'm talking about your standard fight here.I don't put people into weight division in my life.

Lto_thaG

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="Vfanek"] People are people, professional or not. A fight is a fight, professional or not. While a street brawl will (most likely) have two inexperienced fighters, the laws of physics still apply. A heavier person hits harder, his weight is used to his advantage during grappling. So, why does professional fighting have weight divisions? Again, a fight is a fight.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] I never said otherwise. I wouldn't dream on fighting the world champion featherweight boxer, for example. Yes, I'm heavier, but there are other factors just as important.[QUOTE="kiniky"][QUOTE="curono"][QUOTE="modestkraut1291"]
