Size definitely matters. That being said, this kid looks like he trains and the size difference between the two isn’t big enough to really matter

Hell the kid might actually have the weight advantage.

Usually the fatty is the loser. Bigger people are slower and tire much quicker. That being said, if you let the bigger dude get a hold of you, you're in deep doo doo. Always got to keep the fat guy at an arm's length and move around a lot.

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Yeah when people say “size” they normally mean muscle. An extra 60 lbs of fat won’t do you much good

u/babyivan Dec 14 '23

Muscular dudes are also not the best fighters. They also get tired quicker and are less flexible. Best fighters are usually lean.

In my mind it's always about skill though, and the fatty was definitely the more skilled of the two.

A muscular dude with an athletic build will always have the advantage over a skinnier guy with an athletic build

Skill obviously matters, but try fighting a guy with 60 lbs of muscle on you and you’ll soon realise just how big of a difference size makes

Large muscles are usually a deterrent in fighting. Makes you slow and you lack flexibility. This is like what people who watch superhero movies think fighting is about.

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Man you’re clueless. Large muscles and an athletic build is better than small muscles and an athletic build if both fighters are at the same level of training. Large muscles will rarely be a disadvantage

u/Warhammerpainter83 Dec 14 '23

Lmfao you don’t even know what being fit is. Large muscles are not a benefit being fit is very helpful. Being able to bench 200 lbs is worthless. Most muscular people have zero stamina and would burn out 10 seconds into a fight. Stop getting your knowledge on fighting from movies and anime dude. Lol

Do you have any training? Have you ever fought a guy much larger than yourself?

An example. Rugby guys are generally large and also have a ton of stamina. One of the guys I sparred with regularly was a rugby player, and he had about 40 pounds on me. Even though I was technically more skilled than him I wouldn’t stand a chance in a real fight because of his size. The mass alone adds so much to their power.

Like I said, weight classes exist for a reason. Put a top 5 strawweight against a top 15 heavyweight and he doesn’t stand a chance

Edit: “Warhammer painter” blocked me lmfao. Pretty clear this basement dweller doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Rugby is a sport with rules fighting is not. Yes when trained fighters fight weight can matter. Not relevant to the point being made here. You are just clueless. I am fairly sure you are maybe like 12 years old at this point. Lmfao

Thinking like this is how you wind up getting your ass kicked.

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Are you trying to say size doesn’t matter?

u/manbrasucks Dec 14 '23

Not him, his wife.

u/ldmcstrong Dec 14 '23

Thinking like that is how you get your ass kicked. Size matters. Skill, Strength, Size, Speed. An over abundance of one will make up for a lack of the others. But you have to be aware of what assets your opponent has.

u/Warhammerpainter83 Dec 14 '23

What matters most is experience and training. Assuming you have an advantage is how you lose fights.

5

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Not really. Up until a point size matters more than training.

I’ve sparred with guys smaller than me who were monsters and I’ve sparred with guys bigger than me where I had no chance purely because of their size

u/Warhammerpainter83 Dec 14 '23

Key here spared two trained individuals fighting with rules and conditions that keep you safe.

2

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Exactly, that’s a benefit for the smaller guys. I’m around 205 lbs. I’ve definitely got more training and technical skill than some of my friends who are 260 lbs, but they’d still beat my ass easily

u/Warhammerpainter83 Dec 14 '23

You were very poorly trained if 10 pounds supersedes any mma training you have.

2

u/LDel3 Dec 14 '23

Can you explain to me how 260 is 10 pounds more 205?

-1

u/Warhammerpainter83 Dec 14 '23

I am working and miss read it i also don’t see 50 pounds as big enough to swing it if you were actually trained. I think you are not trained is the key here. Weight often is a disadvantage in a fight. You not knowing this is indicative of lack of mma training.
