Size Matter ?!?

[Bruce Lee666]

Floyd finished off Conor, but he couldn't finish off a bigger guy.

that's why dwarves can't be considered the best Fighters or GOAT, they don't have the strength of the bigger guys.

Roberto Duran proved that skill takes a guy to some extent, but it's not enough to overcome the difference in size and weight.

i thought thread was about another kind of topic

 

[Slatersan]

Yes that is why there are weight classes.

Not when there's a big gab in the skills level. Mayweather would toy with Francis as if Ngannou would be a baby. That being said he wouldnt be able to hurt Ngannou even after Ngannou would be gassed after hitting air stumbling on himself.

Skill wise the best boxers are always smaller.

Duran also proved that a guy who had a broken neck was one incredible badass.

If Floyd was 26 he would have finished Paul lol

Also Floyd played it extremely safe

Yeah it's hard to stop someone who outweighs you by 50lbs and just wants to clinch.

Logan was embarrassing.

If Logan can land on Floyd so can Francis
And when Francis lands it's not gonna be pretty.

A 125 special forces officer could defeat any UFC heavyweight in a fight. He would have guns and know how to use them.

If you change the rules, you change who is the best.

Depends on the fighters strengths and skillsets. Pacquaio and Canelo proves you need the punching power to hurt bigger fighters. With those strengths they can finish bigger fighters.

Yes weapon based fighters would have the advantage over unarmed fighters. Even if they are armed if they don't have the skills to use the weapons it wouldn't matter much anyways vs someone skilled with weapons training. That's why it's good to train both. Fighting and martial arts isn't just about unarmed combat. In the past there was a heavy emphasis on weapons training because of war. That hasn't changed at all and weapons training is still an emphasis of war. Just new weapons to learn how to use and different skill sets in order to use them effectively. It's all martial arts to me. Sword or spear. Bow and arrow or gun. All require training and skills to use effectively.

Floyd did not even tried, it was only an exhibition fight after all.

[Thawing Mammoth]

Floyd is a goofball. I don't know shit about boxing but Sugar Ray Robinson looked a hell of a lot cooler

 

[ice9]

Yes and only little guys will disagree or downplay size

 

[DOMMA]

Skill wise the best boxers are always smaller.

I have to respectfully disagree

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

I love when MMA nerds think pro fighters below welterweight could do shit to random person of 6'5 230lbs who trains.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I have to respectfully disagree

He shouldn't say always, but it's usually the case just because there are very few people out there big enough to compete with the HW's

Deontay Wilder made it to the Olympics in a few years lol

I think speed beats power but to a degree. That degree would be in that weight class. I think usually, the smaller guy in that division has an have an advantage where size does not matter.

But, I am sure allot of good boxers can beat some normal Joe who boxes in his garage that may out weigh them by 40 to 50 pounds. I could see a 200 pound guy losing to a 160 pound guy easily....maybe 150 but 140 is starting to push the size difference.


In street fights, When we think of size, one of the first things we think of is wrestling or how much harder someone hits. If you are on the smaller size and you know allot about pressure point stuff that is illegal in MMA rules, its probably a very good idea to get good at in a street fight. I seen how small people can easily get out of certain situations because they were very well educated in different pressure points. I saw it in High School with very good wrestlers. UFC is rules...in a street fight a smaller guy can win...but...size in general matters. Plus, why risk a fight with some Heavy Weight if your not bruce lee or someone that has to prove himself. Self Defense I get it but not just to prove something if your a nobody.
