It's crazy how people think size doesn't matter in fights

[Ezekiel 25:17]

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" Yeah you gone get ktfo thinking that shyt



Had this argument back in Highschool with this dude where he was talking about size doesn't matter in a fight. Then I asked him why are there weight classes in boxing.

Yeah I've seen bigger fighters get knocked out, but if the big guy has an idea on what he's doing and knows how to use his size, you ain't winning that fight unless you highly skilled.

Overbearing size matters. But short of that, it’s just skill and luck. All things being equal other than size disparity then it needs to be a significant size advantage or it’s not making a difference.

I don't know, when it comes to armature and professional fights, even 30lbs is considered a big difference. But that's a different realm, so idk.

size by itself dont matter, its the difference in size that matters

A good big guy beats a good little guy, but most people are untrained slobs.

Many a larger man has been felled with this mentality. Sleep on no one.

It doesn’t matter.

skill does. I’ll take a 150 pound novice boxer over a 220 pound gym rat.

We're talking skill for skill. Average joe vs Averag joe. Of course a trained boxer would knock out a gym rat

Now put that 150 trained boxer against a 220 trained boxer, then who wins?

the first fight I ever had was with a fat boy and he rag dolled me on the school yard. after that I never let no big muthafuka put their weight on me. stay out of reach no wrestling. I got a long wingspan and i'm agile as shyt. never lost a fight again. I can't wrestle for shyt tho

both highly trained. It really could be a toss up, the smaller guy will have speed and agility, the bigger guy will have strength and force but will be much slower.
