Warp Spider Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I say to that - size matters. My favorite example of this is Paul Wight. 7'4", 500 pounds, can hurl a 300 pound man with one hand, or two 200+ pound men simultaneously, one in each hand. I would seriously question the ability of someone who is 200 pounds to take on a man like that. Even I, megalomaniacal as I may be, would think twice about picking a fight with someone that large.

aznkarateboi Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I know that it is possible that you can be so good that size doesn't matter, I just want to know what everyone else thinks. You are COMPLETELY mistaken, size dictates what style of fighting suits you best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Paul Wright knows martial arts. Yeah, but that's scripted. I'm going simply on the fact that the guy has demonstrated the ability to hurl 300 pound men with relative ease.

Drunken Monkey Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 yo warp, i think it's clear from his other posts that the kid doesn't quite understand that wwe is fake... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Sens55 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Anyone who says size doesn't matter has never been punched by someone that is big and strong. Size is not always the determining factor, but don't ever say it doesn't matter! Skill CAN overcome size. Speed and knowledge and many other things can overcome size. But, all things being equal, bigger people beat up littler people, if for no other reason than their size and weight can be brought to bear on their opponent with very little effort on their part. The reason we have to learning MA is so important is that, frequently we need this training to even the tables when matched with a bigger opponent.
