Why is that? I we assume Baleman is around 250 lbs with his armor, then that would make Goro at least 500 lbs.
I don't know if Bane is strong enough to overhead press 500 lbs of fighting flesh above him. That said, you're right, Goro probably weighs more than that.
Because lifted that 250 pound man by the neck up off the ground with one hand and walked with him.
There isn't a human being alive who could lift 250 pounds with a single hand with such a poor grip. For reference, the Thomas Inch Dumbbell is considered almost impossible to lift, partly due to its weight (172 pounds), but mostly due to how thick the grip is (nearly three inches in diameter IIRC). Bane would need to have a superhumanly strong grip to lift a man weighing over two hundred pounds by his armoured neck up in the air.
Goro probably does weigh more though, and probably does win (I don't remember any feats of his that don't involve being punched in the nuts and pushed off a cliff though).
Thing is, he's not just grabbing the middle of his neck and holding him there by that. Usually when you see this down in wrestling and in the scene in question, they are using the persons' Jaw Line as support for them holding them in the air. It's helping to support the hold and thus not really like the Inch Dumbbell
Not sure who wins here, but Id support Bane being able to lift Goro over his head. He casually held Batman off the ground, and walked with him, with a single arm, using two arms, and some effort, he should be able to overhead Goro just fine. Bane is also a much better fighter, and noticeably quicker, than Goro, who basically beat low level guys, using strength alone.
