Why do people always equate being brolic or buff with knowing how to fight ?

[itsyoung!!]

being buff is actually bad for fighting, if u notice...most of the best fighters arent super muscular ....i heard it slows u down and affect ur reflexes

yeah thats why Mayweather hires all 5'10 180 lb bodyguards

all I can think of in this thread is some kids seen 1 or 2 instances where a skinny guy got lucky and knocked out a big guy and runnign with it.. its the exception not the rule

Basically nikkas trying to make themselves feel better for being weak, small, skinny, out of shape, etc.

Muscles don't mean you can fight but most people who can are in decent shape AT LEAST. Some people are also just better fighters than others

Fighting isn't the only reason dudes workout...


The look on your girl's face when you effortlessly pick her up and carry her around like a child is worth the 3day gym split

FIGHTING IS MOSTLY ABOUT YOUR SPIRIT....WHO IS ANGRIER, WHO WANTS IT MORE, WHO HAS MORE BELIEF IN THEMSELVES. IT'S MIND OVER MATTER ALL DAY.

I've seen numerous fights that refute your statement my G

No you haven't.

He said, "All other things being equal."

 

[Kenny West]

if you have the size, speed, agility, skills, brains, endurance, 10/10 times they'll win. just look at Jon Jones for example. he has the athletic abilities has a fighter and have the tools to put a 260 lb guy flat on his ass.

i agree with your statement Green.

the goat eddie griffin said it best.

Yep Jones doesn't have punching power either. He's tall but thin as fukk yet he's stood with, ate shots from and beaten dudes with more punching power & mass (Glover, Rampage, Hendo, TRT Vitor, DC, Machida). He pretty much embodies this thread.

Another fight that displays it well is Nick Diaz vs Evanglista Cyborg. Those fukkboys at youtube took the fight down tho

No you haven't.

He said, "All other things being equal."

breh the all things equal line of thought can be said for any advantage, it means pretty much nothing. Besides there are so many variables and attributes in a fight, a situation where all but one thing is equal never happens. People say "all things equal" but only account for 2 factors, height and weight

 

[Couth]

Muscle=armor.

Even when the smaller person is faster he'll usually get bumrushed and tossed by a buff dude who is agile and aggressive. Fighting rules don't apply in real life. Boxing means nothing when a nikka is strong and fast enough to literally snatch you off your feet and rag doll you till your unconscious.

Some buff dudes are pussies. Some of them are basically human tanks. Most people don't want to find out which.

Nah,Anger is not good when fighting

I DUNO BOUT ALL THAT, FOR INSTANCE, LETS SAY IF SOME1 RAPED UR MAMA AND U HAVE THAT KINDA ANGER BUILT IN U....U MOST LIKELY GUNA KNOCK OUT WHOEVER IN YOUR PATH. IT HAS TO BE JUSTIFIED ANGER. THE TRUTH USUALLY PREVAILS, EVEN IN FIGHTS.

Nikka which average person can accurately determine if all their qualities are equal off one fight , at the end of the day I've seen two people who partake in sports fight one was bigger than the other and the smaller one still prevailed . Ya keep holding on to that wack ass rhetoric talking bout "buhh buhh if all is equal" na nikka we'll never know that 100% percent but if the smaller person hands just so happens to be better than his opponent and his pain tolerance is very high then thats that , ya act like it's some lottery probability type shyt for a smaller person to give a musclar nikka that work ..

Well... there's plenty of variables to be considered when fighting, but how many of them are visible to the naked eye at first glance?

Can you tell someone's hand speed by looking at them?
Pain tolerance?
Years of experience?
Muscle Efficacy?


People just go with size and musculature because its what they can see at first glance.

Once again, this has nothing to do with martial arts knowledge, but i'm just answering the original question you posed with this thread.
