is being bigger significant in a fist fight

[swt]

by bigger i don’t mean height, i mean just being bulkier, not fat though.

for example, let’s say a tall skinny guy, like 5’11 and weighs 130ib were to fight a 5’6 dude that also weights 130ib, who would win? strength wise.

who’s punches would hurt more? etc.

obviously the 5’6 dude, although being the same weight as the tall one, is bulkier,

genuinely curious on this topic, what do you guys think?

taller people are better at fighting than short people mostly because of arm length not height

well yes the reach advantage is significant

but i mean like strength wise, does your weight matter? or is it likely that skinny people can easily be just as strong as a bulkier person

Nigga is asking if having bigger, stronger, denser bones is advantageous in combat

well i meant like muscle mass wise, or fat even

Yes
Weight classes are a thing for a reason

Someone heavier than you is going to be harder to fight than somebody who is just skinny. The weight makes the punches heavier and the fat can cushion some hits too

but i mean like strength wise

it depends because the force equation is

(weight times velocity squared) divided by (gravity times 2)

so swinging faster matters more than weight and gravity helps the taller person

It matters a lot when both either have 0 or lots (or equal) fighting experience

Fist fights are retarded always use a weapon, even less lethal weapons are quite significant

I carry something like this and my intention is to rupture my oponent skull with it, fair fights are for death people

Frame, size, height matter a lot
