Why do tall people always think they can win the fight?

[Superfecta]

lol Tyson is not 5'11"

Um, yes he is.

Back to the OP, I think it goes both ways to be honest. I know a lot of tall people who think they are tough because they are tall. I also know a lot of short people who think they have to prove something.

Fighting has to do with experience for the most part. Two guys, one 5'9", one 6'3" in a fight who have never fought before? Flip a coin.

[loseyourself]

tyson's 5'10, 5'11'' boys, he did mess up alot of tall dudes though.

[ezjax]

all depends on who gets hit square first. a fight is not what you can give its what you can take...
you can get hit 5 or 6 times and hit a guy once or twice and Daze them...

just cuz you get hit by a stronger fellow doesnt mean you are going out right away.


and besides when a tall guy loses a fight to a short guy they look really dumb because of obvious physical advantages..

ive seen pitbulls destroy great danes and vice verrsa depends on the person.

why do tall guys always pick fights with short guys?

[skinnycalves]

It doesn't work like that in a street fight. You've clearly never been in a fight dude. Listen to those more experienced than you.




Eh, no. Taller people have longer muscles, they are easily stronger than shorter people. Try fighting a 5 years old, you'll see what I mean

Too bad mechanical strength is directly related to cross sectional area running perpendicular to the bone. Shorten the muscle on shorter frame, means bigger cross sectional area.

if you never been hurt in a fight you never fought anyone tough

[Metal Jerk]

All i know is i can **** a guy up.

[DaPlasurNDaPain]

You cant compare a child to a adult you moron.
Alot of angry tall people that cant accept that long limbs suck for strength, deal with it!

Of course you can, it's just at the extreme ends of the spectrum. You don't know what you're talking about. Long limbs suck for strenght?? lol I have never heard that **** before. You must be trollin. Unless you put up some proof, which will no doubt be some retarded website anyways, you'll get negged.

According to BBC's tale of the tape: Height 5ft11.5in

u mad?

he's 5'9''

theres a whole forum discussing his height, with peope who have had there picture take with him that are only 5'10'' and he is shorter. There's even a video of him on youtube where he said he was 5'6'' when he was 17.

[PaulG]

Weight is more important in a street fight by far. Fatties don't count.

Theres nothing wrong with being 5'8" unless you're fighting a professional.


Point is,
Everyone has equal opportunity in a fight. Who ever utilizes opportunity the best wins.

your point? my brother was 6'0'' at 17 and balooned up to 6'4'' by 21, so there goes your theory........

[100whey]

Yet another short vs tall thread. Strong insecurity issues in the misc. Gonna start comparing penis size next?

[Frog.]

as mcuh as i want to bash on the manlets and side with the taller ppl because im 6'1", i'd have to say weight and knowing how to fight is much more important than height.

[cinemod]

you aint gonna stop a dwarf man...... there center of gravity is way to low. They will run at you and drop ur high center of gravity ass down, then once your on the ground, your in their world. Thats where they spend all of their time.

[Maestro]

All i know is i can **** a guy up.

[Makaveli0]

why is it the manlets that try to act the toughest? It's like they're out there trying to prove something trying to compensate for their lack of height.

5'9", 204 lbs

you're 18, therefore most likely not jacked, but a fat manlet that looks like humpty dumpty.

[.PeTeR.]

LOL i like how you picked that only part of my sentence out.

Like i said there is a forum discussing his height where people have said they have met him and said he is pretty short.They all say he is no way above 5'10''.

[Champ3113]

just fking bull tackle the tall guy to the ground and start giving him shots to the face. then you will see if his reach and tall advantage helps him.

[skinnycalves]

Dude are you ****ing retarded, have you not taken a simple high school physics class, holy **** balls. Take a 6'8" guy who weighs 240 and lean and compare him to a 5'9" guy who is 240 and lean, who will move more weight. Holy **** balls.

I love how you completely skipped over my post that talks about cross sectional area of the muscle perpendicular to the bone being directly related to strength. Guess what the 5'9" guy will have a larger perpendicular cross sectional area because his length running parallel to the bone will be shortened.

I think its stupid to talk about who would win in a fight. But to argue that shorter people pound for pound are weaker than taller people pound for pound is just godamn retarded.

Wow strong knowledge of physics. idiot.

[Superfecta]

So I'm supposed to trust some random people on the internet over official measurements?

That's exactly what he's saying.

dude, tall people generally weigh more then short people. your logic fails in that regard......jesus christ bro.

LOL i suggest you do some research into why this is true.

LOL i suggest you do some research into why this is true.

why are you talking about weight lifting strength though? of course taller people cant lift as much as shorter folks generally, thats simple physics.....but does that make them weaker....well not it doesn't dip****.

no body is saying pound for pound you idiot. If you have two guys of the same weight, then the taller one is going to have less muscle mass, because his weight is mostly his bones. read the ****ing thread. You're not going to find a 6'4" who is acting all tough and weight 160 and is trying to fight the op

[skinnycalves]

And to the guy who is not convinced that Mike Tyson is 5'9" know this. The Georgia Bull dogs list Rennie Curran at 5'11" and he has admitted that he is 5'8" and he makes one hell of a linebacker. He has never been officially measured for his height because it pisses him off that people would judge him on his height and not on his ability.

LOL i'm fat because i'm 18? BRB running faster, jumping higher, benching more, squatting more, deadlifting more, cleaning more, being more agile, etc than you. STFU ******. Did it ever cross your retarded mind that maybe that i bust my fawking ass every single day to be the way i am?

Im not saying a tall person cant be Strong.

But a shorter person has a bigger advantage in strength over taller people.

[skinnycalves]

dude, tall people generally weigh more then short people. your logic fails in that regard......jesus christ bro.

It doesn't fail, if tall people have the same BMI, then they have the same relative cross sectional area. I should have mentioned that it is relative cross sectional area not just cross sectional area.

still 5'9'' at the end of the day, what sports can you play at that weak ass weight, even linebackers today alot are 6'0'' and above.

STFU kinesiology *******.

shorter people are not "stronger" then taller people, maybe in a weight lifting sense in terms of "numbers", but in terms of brute force mano on mano.....you're just talking ****.
