Hah. This proves everything about you now.
Aren't you supposed to be an amatuer martial artist and all? And from what you tell us, apparently a pretty profficient one?
Cuz if you were, then you'd know that Jackie can effortless take these guys down. Since when has sized mattered in martial arts? 😛

For once, KAM and I agree. Size not only matters a little, it's actually one of the most important factors of all. That's why it would be ludicrous to even TALK about, say, Pernell Whittaker taking on Mike Tyson, even when Whittaker was in his prime. I think he was actually a BETTER fighter, but it wouldn't matter because Tyson's superior size and strength would still wreck him.

I'll admit that I have not practiced martial arts, though I have been studying them for several years of my life. And I know that size doesn't mean all that much when you know where to hit your opponent into submission.
Styles like Wing Chun, for example, is designed to take out opponents that are much larger and stronger, using proper technique and application of the martial art.
Or Tai Chi Quan, using one's own strength and momentum against him/her.
And no, I don't just watch his movies and assume he's God. Same with Bruce.
Size is a factor yes. But I just don't think it's enough of a factor when your opponents knows exactly where to strike you to put you down.
Last time I checked, neither Arnold nor Slyvestor know any sort of martial arts. Unless you count Sylvestor's Rocky training.
