Watching the toughman got me thinking-anyone's muscle ever give them an upper hand in a fight? ANy bouncers in the house?
WhenI used to be big(about 225) a couple of years ago theses drunk idiots ran aup to me in the middle of a street while I was biking at about 12 midnight and tried to push me over, when they got close to me however they saw me and got scared and said "calm down dude( I had gotten of my bike and was pissedoff)you're bigger than us, friends..where you from"....ah those were the days, now I'm 214 with a LOT of fat gotta fet down to a musculat 190 and then bulk back up.

When I was 14 years old, 120 lbs I was cornered by a 200 lb 17 year old bully while riding my bike. The bully had no idea that I was packing some homemade numb-chucks that I had just constructed. One swift swing to his head and he toppled over like a 1 legged drunk.
Muscle isn't everything in fights and sometimes your only resort is to pull out the implements. The bully had a chance to run when I pulled out the chucks, but he didn't. I bet he wished he had!!!!!

When I turned 20 some guys in the Army decided I get 20 punches. I thought no bigee until it was in the same spot. There was 3 of them and the only reason I turned it around was my strength. I grabbed one and threw him down, grabbed one by the throat and wouldn't let go, and I was trying to push the other out the third floor window. Can't say it would be the same if they wanted to kick my ass but they were sure as hell trying to leave when I flipped on them

Thinking muscle, size, and strength will save your ass in a fight is wrong to me. I know of plenty of big ass dudes who have gotten their asses lit up by some little dudes because of their overconfidence. My cousin who is army infantry just went to jail a few weeks back because he beat the fuck out of some 6'9 300lb country motherfucker and he is 5'11 170pounds and probably can barely bench his own bodyweight, but he is quick, has quick hands, and can fight like a wild dog.(The cops even congradulated him because the dude was so huge, and then they let him go without reporting him to his CO because of it and the fact that a bunch of the cops were ex military and some of them had been in the unit he is in now) Even in high school, my best friend who is 5'6 130lbs beat some dude up on the football team who was 6'7 275lbs.

The other day I was on my big wheel going down the street when the ice cream truck turned the corner. I was about 6'6 270lbs and this other kid on one of those green mean machines turned the corner just up the street form me. We raced tword the ice cream truck and I jumped off and told him I could do 60lb rep for sets on arm curls. He just ran back to his green machine and draged it all the way down the street. Well I'm only about 6'0 and 210lbs now so I'm going back to the play ground and hit the monkey bars.

Muscle size alone is not going to help at all against an opponent with any fighting experience at all. Many huge guys get the crap beat out of them because they think being big is all thats needed. If both fighters have the same skill having an upper hand in strength, reach and wind will always help though.

watching that toughman show was when i realized it didnt matter. That one powerlifter from southern cali that fought that cop looked like a girl out there fighting.

a few weeks ago I went to a resturant with a couple of good friends of mine. We get in and there is this black dude passing us about to leave. the motherfucker said a few words to my friend, and he actually threatened to kill him. I told the black dude to get the fuck out and he got into my face talking his shit. This guy was about 6'1 or 6'2 about 200 lbs maybe and Ive seen him in my gym a few times before and Im 5-7 175 lbs. So the guy tried to hit me and he missed and i gave him an uppercut to his jaw. If my friends didnt hold me back, i swear to god i would have killed the mother fucker! Of course...ive boxed and wrestled for over 11 years. I think a lot of it has to do with expirence and your fighting skill...not always size

Well fuck it since everyone's posting anyway, think about it, Bruce Lee could beat the fuck out of almost anyone, regardless of his relatively small size. But if 2 people are of equal skill, than size DOES matter.

Stamina and endurance matter.
Being a mean mother fucker matters.
You gotta be a little crazy.
I've been in a lotta drag outs and they hurt, even when you win.
I'm alway starting it, because I don't care. Pain is something I learned to live with a long time ago.

I asked my wife about this and she said I alway starting it.
Just last week we go out to eat. We walk in this guy is with his wife and two kids and his mother and father. The guy never takes his eyes off of us for like 5 minutes. Ok, I can handle that it happens sometimes! We are kinda an odd site in some place - anyway he is staring so bad his dad is like looking at him like he has lost it. His wife is getting all worked up and the mother is starting in on gramp's. They are trying to get this guy out of it and he still is just not there. I want a piece of this ass now - so I walk over and ask him when the last time someone slapped him up side his head. He still not getting it, So i say because if I don't do it your wife should. Then walk away laughing. The wife is already packing up the kids.

Just two days ago i'm sitting in steak and shake and these two guys are giving thier girls a hard time. The one is calling her a ho and shit and takes her purse and gets the money out. This is going on for a couple minutes - then he starts in on her I love Jesus key chain. My wife looks at me and knows, and tells me you won't be happy till you get it over. I let in two those two punks. I was going nuts - the little fuk called me out side. I stood up and said bring your whoop ass boy because you two will need it. Then he backs the fuk out. Try to apologize and shit. I was like shut the hell up. Don't say another word. I couldn't eat, I was shaking so hard, I wanted to crush the little jackoff. I got up to leave and the two girl left out with us. So I was talking to them at the door - told them to never let a guy treat them like that again. Demand respect and move on if they didn't get it. I hope i did some good. I don't know.
I'm also the guy that can't help but stop and help everyone. Can't count the number of tires I have changed.

Bruce Lee not only fought unstaged fights, but won them. When he was younger he used to go around and start fights just because he liked whooping peoples asses. Great fighter. I wanna know how he did that punch with his arm straight out in front of the guy, then proceeded to knock him on his ass with out pulling his arm back to get full power.

Chuck Norris is a great fighter, its a damn shame that one of the guys who walked all over his ass is dead (Bruce Lee). I seen a tape that showed Norris beatin Lee up. Lee started to bleed, tasted it, then proceeded to kick Norris' ass.

Chuck Norris was cool but now he's too old but Bruce Lee was the shit. That guy was in amazing shape. That would have been cool to see him fight in UFC or stack up to the top NHB fighters like Rickson and Shamrock.

Actually Lee was good but hollywood made him out to be the 'best' which he wasn't. Actually there were some dudes in Hawaii at the time that could really put it to him. Sure, Lee was good, better than I'll ever be, but the 'best'? C'mon now. Do your homework and research it and you'll find even a book written by Bruce Lee that had some stuff out of a fencing book written before his stuff that he claimed he came up with. Plus, eating all that hash couldn't a been to good for him either. Just the facts.
