Warp Spider Posted September 13, 2003 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 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.
sano Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 but remember people like rey mesterio jr. and dean malenko defeated paul wright before and there 175-200 pounds. Plus Paul Wright knows martial arts. falcon kick!!!
slapt Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Size... Aint but one of many obstacles in this search for life.. If with it u were blessedthen defeat shall be oppressed.

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 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."
zelgadis-3878 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 well dont go to hard on him.....if you tell him that now it would be like telling him that santa isent real lol now that i think about it go ahead hurt his feelings the sooner he learns that it is fake the sooner he can move on to learning the true art of fighting i walk the path of the warrior not only to yeild to my hunger of battle nor to protact myself are the ones around me. but to honer those that spent there life making a style are defending a nation with said style ^_^
Valithor Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Oh NO!! You mean WWE is not real???? Keep Smiling!
Sens55 Posted September 16, 2003 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.
