800 lb guys,like elephants, don't jump. make a heck of a hockey goalie, though. should be the nHl that's interested in him. total eclipse of the goal.

just how huge are you, hugefatguy? what about a 500lb fat guy vs a 300lb fat guy?

what about a 90lb weakling against a 115lb supermodel?

what about dracula vs frankenstien?


or Captain Kirk v. Picard?

The 800 pound guy wins 99 times out of 100. Maybe more.

There is no substitute for size. Its not only the percentage difference but the actual difference. Imagine a 50 pound guy against a 200 pound guy (or woman for that matter). Same percentage difference but an actual difference of 150 pounds - imagine a 600 pound difference.

The problem with fighting somebody that much bigger is that you can't get close enough to do any damage because as soon as they can grab you the fight is over. About the only strategy that would work is to circle around and attack from behind, take out the knees and get the monster on the ground. A frontal attack is suicide.

That's a good one. Picard's brains against Kirk's brawn. My money's on Kirk.

Sweep the knee of the fat guy *using* Capt Kirk, not Picard. Kirk's got some mass of his own, while that silly Frenchie would just fold up around the big guy's kneecap.

Even if the 800 lb man has 4x the weight of the 200lb man, the 200lb man has the ultimate advantage of being quicker and in better physical condition. Even if the fat guy was strong and healthy, the size of his mass would be too large to move with any quickness, and the energy requirements he would need to put up a good fight would drain him in a short amount of time. The 200lb man would be like a lion attacking a lumbering elephant. Sure the elephant has the size advantage, but the lion can jump and claw and eventually beat down the elephant. He can run circles around him and stratigically place strong jabs on the fat man and that will wear him out before he can do anything back.

This is simply not true.
What if the 200lb guy is wirey? What if he has the eye of the tiger?
LJ is 2-3X my size and I can easily kick his ass.

5'5" and 200 pounds of muscle? Then he's pretty damn strong.

7'2"? yeah right. How many seven foot 800-pound people could there be?
