Karatefox,

 

Are you saying that if Bruce Lee fought a larger opponent with the same skill he would have won ? Please give reasons why. Even he said he couldn't compete with someone like Muhammad Ali because of the size difference.

the information i have says Bruce Lee was 5'7 1/2", not 5"10"

Well, if you are large with skill, that's fine, but what about fitness and strength? aren't those important too? A big guy who is slower and less fit witht the same skills may not waste a small guy for sure.

Plus, most fights don't last long enough for fitness to come into play. If you're body is using adrenaline, then fitness won't come into play until 15-30 seconds into the fight, and in my experience most fights don't last that long.
