You ever trained? I don't mind being 10 lbs smaller than the other guy. But holy shit even being outreached by like 2" fucking SUCKS.
Yeah, a 50 lb weight difference blows. But the amount of difference that reach can make inside of 1 weight class is way more than any possible weight advantage you can have.
In a WW fight, would I rather be 6'1" and 170 lbs, or 5'8" 190 cutting to 170 lbs? 6'1" 170 lbs every single time.
Stats are stats bro, just because you personally have a heard time getting past someone's reach doesn't mean that applies to everyone. Only 54% of the time is the person with longer reach victoriious.
Not to mention, wrestlers/grapplers don't have these problems at all and weight is everything for them.
