Fly weight, middle weight, heavyweight. These fighting weight classes determine the size and height. If size didn't matter they wouldn't use these guidelines to determine a champion. You'll never see Mike Tyson fight the king from the middle east. You can probably tell the king would just run after one punch from iron Mike Tyson. Size matter's.

@@00tonytone that's what I mean. Size matters.

Tyson is the reason I think that three knockdown rule in boxing is some bullshit! I would fall down three times just trying to get away from him!

Best example of what you said is watch pretty much every Bob sap fight

Exactly skill outweighs size and strength but if the big powerful dude has real skills he is unstoppable

@@jonsingleton203 wrong

Glad you enjoyed it❤

Completely agreed.

Yeah, it matters A LOT. Just like showing times a less skilled fighter wins by a lucky punch and with a headline "Why skill doesn't matter" would be just as silly

I love all the people dismissing these videos as "well the larger fighter was just worse". It's like, no fucking duh, of course they were worse. That's the point of any fight, to see who's better or worse. How many pounds would you need on Mike Tyson in order to confidently say you'd beat him? How much taller than Anderson Silva would you need to be in order to eek out a victory? Don't discount skill by calling it rare. It takes a lot to handle an opponent much larger than you, no matter how slow or clumsy they are.

@@Nilruin We're not dismissing that. We're dismissing the premise that size doesn't matter. I'll say it again. Weight classes exist for a reason.

@@Nilruin the point just flew past you. The entire point is that size does indeed matter and with everything you just said, you just reinforced the very point he was making. You have to be leagues above your opponent skill wise or cunning(luck even) to beat somebody who is much larger than you such as even 30-50 pounds. Mind you, that is going off actual size and not just someone being tall or fat although size differences create a gameplan of advantages and disadvantages. Mind you, I only watched half the vid and only seen people fighting within the same weight class. Just being shorter doesn't make it a size doesn't matter. Being short but still in the same weight class whether it be muscle or a stocky build can come with its own advantages such as closing in and throwing hooks where as a taller opponent would op for range and throwing punches outside the reach of the shorter guy. Butterbean was actually smaller than his opponent in size( just not weight, size being their actual size). I'm sorry but a 5'6-5'8 175 pound fighter most likely isn't winning against a 6 foot 220-250 pound fighter if they are of even remotely similar skill. That is why it is given great praise when a fighter moves up or down a weight class and is successful because they can be at a serious disadvantage outside their natural weight class. Bigger opponents generally give out far more power and can take far more, that is just going off a relative weight. A poor lightweight to middle weight has no chance in hell of beating a heavyweight even if you took their top fighter and put em up against the lowest ranked fighter. It's a illusion to comfort small people

In my opinion I don’t think size matters bc in the real world or In street fights it doesn’t matter who’s big or not if it’s a fight it’s a fight but in professional they have weight divisions so it can be fair fight but I believe that many ppl in middle weight can beat the heavy weights some be lackin technique but I feel like it’s possible

Stayed crazy you mean.

he could have his own top 5 for this

Yes they did my friend, if only he wasn't Russian 😉

Hong man choi is actually really skilled to be so large, buttt he actually has a weakness when fighting smaller opponents, yi long beat him up pretty good while Hong Mon chi basically bullied Bob Sapp out of his lunch money.

Definitely, hence weight classes. Mass matters.

@Orthodox Conservative Islam there's a reason they don't let 350 lb lineman from the NFL fight in the Mixed Martial Arts......

@Orthodox Conservative Islam you're right.... many people don't know..... Brock Lesnar is the one who had the 265 limit put in the UFC... he was too lazy to be dealing with 350 400 lb men

@Orthodox Conservative Islam It's possible, but unlikely. If mass and height make no difference, why are there weight categories in almost every modern, organised combat sport? Why do almost all professional MMA fighters and coaches focus on weight cuts, in order to be as massive as possible within their given weight category fir the fight? Mass and height is not everything, but it is definitely an advantage to be bigger than your opponent, as you have the potential of longer reach, more mass to add to your strikes, and more weight for energy absorption of your opponent's strikes as well as being heavier in grappling.

no. speed and power.

Was that before or after eating a ear? 😆

Trees don't hit back.

I was kind of laughing when I heard the overhand being brought up so many times. Just makes me recall all my nights sparring with buddies after drinks. Overhands felt like the only punch that ever landed heavy on those giants. 😂 Body shots and jabs were the main setups. But that overhand was the one that always made them go "Alright, he got a punch too". 💀

P.M.S.L

For such an enormous guy I seem to remember he took a few dodgy losses, that's just how I remember things from seeing his fights years ago.

There's literally a video that states why your statement is false..

@@danieliorio6598 Yeah, like there aren't weight classes for a reason...

I second that! I'm 5'-7" on a good day! Sparred with most guys who are taller and heavier...and there's a huge freaking difference when you get hit! Especially when you collide into a blow instead of rolling with it! Feels like bricks LMAO! That's why I transitioned into weapons! Might as well use my speed to an advantage! Haha 😂

its the size of the fight In the dog...not the size of the dog in the fight

Do you mean growth or overall? Igor vovchanchyn was 173 cm tall but weighed 93 kg and he could compete with the heavy lead.

@@user-ig8vm1ns4t I know it better than you... Successful men either they born with certain skills , either they put the work down in order to accomplish these skills and be successful. In order to do that you need to have the mentality of a gamedog.. Besides the bodys role is to carry the mind..

Noticed the same thing. Just lousy boxing defense in general. No head movement, hands to low, no foot timing whatsoever. Just a big target.

her defence is closing her eyes. how you teach some like that? lol

Also is worth to notice that most of this "small guys" are above 6 feet tall and over 200 lbs. Meaning that these people arent small at all.

That's his son. He's done well with himself.

they are nowhere near the same weight

absolutely. if you take the greatest heavyweight fighter in any combat sport and put them against the greatest middleweight of that same sport, the heavyweight wins. Every time.

Akebono even less so.

If they're way bigger than you, bust that shit. Ha. Fuck the tap, especially in a street fight. Don't even look, or wait for a tap, bust the ankle, arm, whatever, when they scream, let go, and run away.

Even if they're not bigger than you. Ha
