With spear/sword, pillow fists don't matter. Who'd be the ultimate gladiator?

I'm more interesting in who would be the best if none of them had arms.

There is a strong case for Artem in those circumstances.
 
Damn thats a good point.

Ngannous’s strength and size could be easily negated by a Mighty Mouse who just ducks under everything and stabs him three times in the throat with a dagger before Ngannou can even react. Or ducks and stabs him in the leg and jumps away before Ngannou can grab him.

Unless they have some absolute dense armor that they need to power through. But even then Id probably favor an Anderson Silva with his accuracy and good power over a power-only type of gladiator like Ngannou.

Obviously, the extra distance and technique would play a big role, but, at the end of the day, a spear cannoned from Francis hands could blast through your fucking armor.

Even among modern soldiers, there are no real HW.

I don't think HW are good in armies, they rather want mobile people with great stamina.

So i would say people between the LW and MW category.

Question was about a gladiatorial setting, though.

As for the the best size for an army... same equipment, same amount of bodies - manlets vs an army of Fedors, Ubereems and Brocks... I don't think I'd favor manlets, to be honest. I mean, unless you went outside of combat and fucked with their food supply or something. But they can do it, too. Size doesn't mean you're dumb. Reem is more educated than anyone on the current UFC roster.

Yeah maybe size was more important with traditional weapons, but over 220 lbs is heavy... + your army will consume a lot of resources.

With modern weapons, being very strong (i mean like a HW) is basically useless though.

Honestly, that's a whole different topic we're sailing into. Cause, yeah, the way things are developing - in a possible modern day full on war scenario - a grounds on the boots soldier is slowly becoming like a horse from WW1 in a WW2 setting. Sure, could be useful here and there, but it's a whole different game.
