Did you not learn anything from Yoda? Size matters not. And it's true.

Well, not really. I can overpower most kids smaller than me at my school.

You would get a shock if one of them smaller kids turned around and broke your nose though, wouldn't you? wink

Its all about who has the most experience points to spend on their attributes, seriously, +10 base damage combined with +4 fortification damage with a broadsword on against a lvl 13 Mage druid makes all the difference shock

nope...i've seen bigger guys get there asskicked by smaller guys, but at the same time i've seen biggers guys beatup smaller guys....it all depends on who you are fighting

For the most part it doesn't matter how big or small you are on the outside, because most people with fighting mentality all have the brain size of a peanut.

Too bad I asked my doctor to give me all the surgeries that Michael Jackson had. evil face

not in a fight really... i mean little people move faster... and can hit harder

ever seen Austin powers.. man mini me totally crunched his nuts

Arker
Every single person who was even an inch smaller than me I can slam to the ground easily... But size matters not, I guess... Maybe it's just me.

Nowadays it's about what brutha has the biggest, phatest, "pop a cap in any white boys ass" kinda glock.

Size doesn't matter in fight, just as long as you have bat or a knife with you stick out tongue

StyleTime
Size matters when the skill levels of the combatants are equal. Weight divisions wouldn't exist in fighting circuits such as Pride if this weren't true.

When the skill level differs, size may become a nonfactor. Royce Gracie, a jujitsu legend, weighed about 170 lbs and defeated the sumo Akebono who weighed about 500 lbs. I saw the fight. It was so inspiring seeing that happen. Heck, Royce's whole career was about beating bigger guys.....until Sakuraba beat his ass.

Size does matter. I thought I already explained this in my first post here.

O Green World
Big guys lose, i have a mate at my school who gets pushed around by someone almost half his size!

But you never know, peepz are different....

If you had read my post, you'd know that I said size matters when skill is equal.

The guy who won is Fedor Emelianenko. He is the world's best martial artist at the moment. He has an undefeated record in Pride, the fight circuit that holds the best fighters period.

The guy he was fighting is Zulu Zhino.......a nobody.

The fight was set up as a joke. The only fighters that can even match up with Fedor are Mirko Filipovic and Antonio Nogueira.

JacopeX
oh and yo, im a proof also. im 5'8 and i fought someone who wuz 6'3. I won but people say it wuz luck but it wusnt. the guy didnt hit me once.

StyleTime
I doubt the guy you were fighting had any real skill.

I guess I am proof that it does matter then.

I've beaten several guys who train in Mauy Thai, jujitsu, brazilian jujuitsu, etc simply because I was bigger. I train too, but they would have been my equal if they were larger.

And seriously, watch Bob Sapp. The only reason he even won any fights was because he was huge.

Let's put it this way.

I'm 5'4" I weigh 109 pounds and I've taken on (and beaten) 200+ pound guys before.

Size doesn't matter.

It's knowledge.

StyleTime
*sigh*

None of you have explained weight divisions yet.

Size only becomes a nonfactor if there is a skill disparity in favor of the smaller guy.

leonheartmm
if they both have the same skill than obviously the bigger guy would win. but the strength/leverage/reach advantage is sumwhat overshadowd by trust and confidence in onesself. the larger guy would mostly have more confidence than the smaller one, specially when the little guy feals threatened by the big one, confidence is a huge thing.

StyleTime
At least you realize it's skill level that changes things. Some of these people are acting like being small gives you the speed of The Flash.

leonheartmm
if your small AND unskilled than no1 can help you other than maybe an insane adrenaline surge when your near death which gives you the strength to lift cars{its happened with small women before}.

Interesting. We need to spar sometime.

its odd but ive never seen any1 actually say HEY I LOST TO SUM1 BIGGER OR ANY1 LESS THAN MY OLD WISE UNBELIEVEABLY SKILLED SENSEI. i mean where did the BIG losers of the fight all go? i think people generally show off quite a bit.

I agree.

I also for agree, for the most part, with StyleTime. Size does matter. A difference between 2 inches of hieght or 20-30 pounds is no big deal. But even if you are an excellent fighter, a guy who is 100 pounds heavier than you (unless you are one of the best in the world) is gonna kick your ass until tues.

For all the people who said "big guys are slow", no big fat outta shape guys are slow, but many big guys are just as fast as you are, or faster. The NBA is full of big fast guys as is the NFL.

I kinda see this thread as a bunch of people trying to make themselves feel better about their size or trying to sound tough.

When it comes to a fight, superior size and strength put you at an immediate advantage. Anyone who doesn't think so is an idiot.

I stil lbelive that size dosent matter, only skill matters.

Then you have never been in a real fight. Bob Sapp has beaten many fighters that have 10 times the skill level he has, his only advantage has been size and strength.

And if size does not matter, then why don't light weight boxers fight heavyweight boxers for the same belts?

Because rules matter also stick out tongue


Another factor is intent. If the small guy say on teh street has full intentions of crippling you and goes all out and grabs everything to do this and the big guy is just trying to put you down..........................the big guy is gonna get hurt more then likely in an average scenario.

I have though,I am recovering from a black eye at the moment, I am not bragging but I have honestly kicked a guy's ass that was at least half a foot taller than me and fairly bigger buitl than me as wellconfused How do you explain that?

Once again, size matters when skill is about euqal.

Any of you who don't think size matters. Go to your local kickboxing/grappling/Muay Thai/MMA gym and challenge someone bigger than you.

Maybe you were stronger than he was.

Size matters but dont count yourself out the fight I have kickboxed and have found big guys easier to beat

StyleTime
I didn't say give up.

Once again, if you are skilled enough then you can make up for size.

Typically, I'd give the fight to the larger guy though.

size has a definate advantage in the way of intimidation, but I am slim of build, but can easily hold my ground in a fight.
