would you fight someone that was physically bigger, stronger than you

[Henry Huggins]

yes. i jumped in when a friend of mine was getting beat down by 6+ explosive gentlemen..i got beat up and knocked out but if it were similar circumstances..of course.

 

[Pupi]

Yeah, why not. The worst that could happen is getting split. Always remember: however hits first, hits twice.

 

[Yompton]

and you knew you would get destroyed? I'm talking about some stranger you got in an altercation with and he starts to instigate a fight by pushing you.

I've been in a few in my days, and the other guys were always bigger and stronger. That's how bullies usually are. After so many ass whippings you should learn how to give them back. Get your UFC on!

 

[Ah Man]

If I am in a street fight it is because I don't have an option but to fight and therefore his size is irrelevant. (and his nuts and eyes are in severe danger).

I avoid fights with Giants and Midgets alike.

Bingo. I suppose I wouldn't resort to running or begging to avoid fighting, but I like to think I'm not so weak as to be goaded into a physical confrontation. The other person's going to have to put my in physical danger before I'll fight back.

 

[Gus Fring]

I would, but ONLY to save an event.

 

[oldshadow]

If pushed to it yea I fight. But being in a few I can tell you win is a matter of what happens not who says they won. In other words I might get a ride to the ER but I won

 

[WiolentOne]

Thats the only people you should fight.

I usually turned down street fights if I thought they weren't a challenge for me.... unless they were real loud mouths that needed to be put in their place.

I always got excited for fights were the dudes were bigger and had a rep for being badasses. Fighting for me was about challenging myself. If it aint challenging it aint worth fighting for imo.

 

[Facetouch]

Yeah but I'm unnaturally aggressive

 

[HIMBOB]

I'd run if needed, and that way I wouldn't feel bad if I tried to eye gouged him and he got blinded, I really had no choice.

As to begging, I have talked myself out of heaps of fights mostly using the words "I don't want to fight you" I don't see that as begging because I don't do it from a weakened position, but it is extremely effective.

 

[Spawned_Fighter]

i always feel like fighting dirty is the great equalizer. knee even a 6'3 dude in the nuts and he goes all fetal and helpless like anyone else.

people will view as a douche for it but if you're truly in the situation where he's going to either beat the living fuck out of me or i'm going to incapacitate him enough to then haul ass or capitalize with strikes then i gotta do what i gotta do.

that being said, i havent fought nor do i want to fight anybody. if a bigger dude started pushing me i'd probably just walk away to try to extricate myself from the situation. id rather be called pussy than get my clock cleaned.

im averaged size and never fought anyone who really outsized me.

i wouldnt fight anyone unless i feel it was really justified. like another poster said, if it was for someone calling me a name and i go for it, i deserve to get beatdown

 

[DoctorGonzo]

" Is this the 5 O'clock free crack give away ? "

LOL!

On topic - Unless this person is threatening/attacking my family or friends, HELL NO! I would rather be called a pussy and walk away uninjured then take a savage beating just to save face. It's not worth it. I have even avoided fights where I thought "I could probably take that guy..." and had lots of my mates around to back me up in case I started getting my ass kicked

In short - I don't fight unless there is a VERY good reason to

 

[minute bull]

Yes I have a knife.

 

[Ah Man]

If someone attacks me, I don't necessarily feel like I'd feel that bad doing whatever I had to to defend myself, whether I ran or not. I don't think I could bring myself to run, under most circumstances, but I probably should. Definitely not just to avoid an ass-kicking, though. Maybe had I ever suffered a proper ass-kicking I'd feel differently.

As to begging, I have talked myself out of heaps of fights mostly using the words "I don't want to fight you" I don't see that as begging because I don't do it from a weakened position, but it is extremely effective.

I can't say I have a wealth of experience with people wanting to fight me, perhaps because I tend to avoid places where a lot of drinking is happening. I don't, personally, find intoxicated people good company. However, I'd use those words in a second, and wouldn't see it as begging at all. I'm talking begging begging, in terms of what I wouldn't do.

 

[Striker22 redo]

I grew up in a very explosive and athletic neighborhood. If you caked down from a fight, 20 other guys would pick on you. I made sure to leave marks and get in great shots even if I was going to lose. The deal is to commit fully to the fight, go nuts. Take the beating, dish out some, but then buy yourself some peace.

 

[quietwalker]

and you knew you would get destroyed? I'm talking about some stranger you got in an altercation with and he starts to instigate a fight by pushing you.

I've done it many many times bud. Except i never "know" i'm going to get destroyed cause i'm prepared.

After reviewing your question....yes. I've stepped in front of a bus for a lesser human being in public school. It didn't turn out the way the aggressor intended but i did take a beating.

Were you an intelligent and technical fighter?

 

[quietwalker]

In another life i took alot of pleasure from beating the shit out of guys who were bigger than me and who picked fights with me. It became kind of a hobby i guess.

A bit of background, i worked in bars for about 17 years and fights, fighting, were readily available. You could try yourself against just about any demo you wanted...military guys fail hard in bar fights btw....not proud to say it but it was a fact....never saw a guy call out his military cred and win. I'm looking at you Fort Drum.

The toughest guys never looked like the image we all have of the toughest guys....EVER. I saw a fucken fat, wrong headed looking guy POUND three musclenuts in front of 100 people....and he didn't lose a sweat.


My point here is don't ever underestimate yourself based on what the other guy looks like.

 

[Spoken]

I've gotten into fistfights twice with people who were clearly bigger and stronger.
Neither went well, but only one of them let me walk away with a bit of pride left. Got my ass kicked the other time.

 

[PalharesIsHulk**]

I had a situation thrust upon me somewhat like this many years back.
I was a wee lad, back in the old country, when.. oh wait, wrong story.

I was a high school senior and I was hanging out at a basketball court, waiting for a friend to come by so we could see a movie, and this chick, who I had a class with, and her bf, who I knew of, but not personally, started having an altercation. I didn't know either of them well out side their name, but the chick knew who I was. So I'm leaning against my car by the bleachers, when this dude starts to get rowdy. The dude was drunk and like 22, but I knew who he was, because he had two brothers in the high school. The trio were known as the Dixon brothers. I start to look around and I notice that no one else is there but us three, and this dude is effin big. He's explosive, rowdy and drunk, so nothing is look good for me. I suppose I could have walked away because the girl didn't ask for me to intervene, nor did either of them really acknowledge I was even there. But regardless, I saw where the situation was going, and I let out a deep sigh to myself. I can still remember vividly how I bent over, and re-laced my shoes really tight, emptied my pockets on the ground, and prepared to get my ass whooped. I was so damn mad that this had to happen, and probably more mad that my friend was late, thus resulting in me still being here to see this unravel. Again, the girl never asked for any help, but I couldn't sit there and do nothing any more. Sure enough, as I finish my prepping, he puts his hands on her, grabbing her and slamming her against a nearby chain-link fence. So she yanks her hands free of his, and at this opportunity, I appear out of nowhere between the two of them, like the dark knight, and much like the dark knight, I grabbed him, and spoke the immortal words of "hey man, be cool." But this guy, much to my not surprise, apparently did not want to be cool. He looks at me like I just told him 2pac wore high heels, and his mama had a peg leg. The girl says nothing as I do this, apparently content to watch me take the beating. He yanks his hands from me and utters a few expletives about getting my hands off-a him and starts walking toward me. At this point I'm ready for my ass whooping, but at least content that no one was going to see it, and that worldstarhiphop would not be invented for at least another 13 years. He continues to move forward, apparently too drunk to throw a punch, instead opting to try and grab me and tackle me to the ground. This is before I learned any jits, so I didn't try to jump guard as much as I tried to guard my junk. Fortunately, and miraculously, some people came out of the nearby apartments, one of them his mom, and she called him in and he left. The girl never said thank you to me, or anything at all about the situation. No one at school or anywhere else ever knew what I did, but I did feel kind of special at the end of the day.

Damn I thought the story would end either with you knocking him out or him beating you up.

 

[Naramie]

Probably no unless there was no other option or protecting family/friends. Otherwise being older there is too much risk trying to fight some random stranger, it's not worth it. Risk getting arrested, going to jail, getting severely hurt, possible risk of losing job.
