Fly weight, middle weight, heavyweight. These fighting weight classes determine the size and height. If size didn't matter they wouldn't use these guidelines to determine a champion. You'll never see Mike Tyson fight the king from the middle east. You can probably tell the king would just run after one punch from iron Mike Tyson. Size matter's.

@@johnathangreay987 Butterbean where the hell he came from . I'm thinking Jack and the beanstalk. Jack went up the beanstalk and Butterbean came down the beanstalk.
@@00tonytone that's what I mean. Size matters.

Did you just say the guy on steroids was more experienced then the 19 year old dude with them wild hey makers? A better title would be why size matters, but skill matters to.
Tyson is the reason I think that three knockdown rule in boxing is some bullshit! I would fall down three times just trying to get away from him!
Best example of what you said is watch pretty much every Bob sap fight
Too
Exactly skill outweighs size and strength but if the big powerful dude has real skills he is unstoppable

💪 Outstanding video thanks 💖😁
Glad you enjoyed it❤
That Ann Wolfe clip NEVER gets old …👊🏾💥
"Butterbean" - Eric Esch - wasn't going to win that fight in the same way that basically *no* boxer was going to win that fight. Because until you've been there, it just doesn't make any sense that someone kicking you in the leg would be so damn effective. Before that match, Eric probably thought that leg-kicks were just for show, or to get points on the score-card. It's not an insult to Eric that he was defeated this way, as it was more of a style miss-match than a fighter miss-match.
Butter should take on boxers only ...please.
(
Like chopping down a tree with a knife...
Plus he was way past his prime
Completely agreed.
Butterbean took that whipping like a champ.
Those kicks to Butterbean's body made me LMAO 😂😂😂. He had no idea how to check them.
Minowa Ikuhisa simply legend. His attitude always stay great
Stayed crazy you mean.
he could have his own top 5 for this
Ive seen a number of these before. But some I haven't. Good compilation!
Kaoklai really should've been on this list, Mighty Mo vs Hong-Man Choi was on it when Kaoklai fought Mighty Mo with a 27kg weight difference and won, one of the weight differences you mentioned on this list was 30lb, so the weight difference in Kaoklai's match was over twice as much. Kaoklai also had the balls to fight Hong-man Choi despite being 27kg lighter than Mighty Mo, pretty sure it went the distance and he lost to decision on that one but god knows what the weight difference must've been. He also fought a giant from taekwondo whose name alludes me, I think he won that one. Point being though he was known for taking on giants and winning.
Hong man choi is actually really skilled to be so large, buttt he actually has a weakness when fighting smaller opponents, yi long beat him up pretty good while Hong Mon chi basically bullied Bob Sapp out of his lunch money.
Kaoklai legendary high kick knockout of Mighty Mo , David beats Goliath ! 😎
They flew over the fact Fedor knocked out pretty much all the giants in this video plus a dozen more..
Yes they did my friend, if only he wasn't Russian 😉
Gotta love a bit of Remy Bonjasky high kick action.
look at the sportmenship of Tyson at the time! Later he would be the greatest boxer ever, when even in his own eyes he isnt. He would say Muhammed Ali.........what a great asset to boxing.
Amazing
Its always the punch or kick that you don't see that KO you. Also when you stepping in and got caught. But in Bob Sap case, seems he took the fall. Seems like it.
Size matter ms in professional fights it just doesn’t make or break the fight but it’s definitely an advantage doesn’t mean it can’t be overcome
"Why size doesn't matter" You're showing the rare cases where a smaller better fighter beats a larger worse fighter. Size doesn't *always* matter, but weight divisions exist for a reason.
Yeah, it matters A LOT. Just like showing times a less skilled fighter wins by a lucky punch and with a headline "Why skill doesn't matter" would be just as silly
I love all the people dismissing these videos as "well the larger fighter was just worse". It's like, no fucking duh, of course they were worse. That's the point of any fight, to see who's better or worse. How many pounds would you need on Mike Tyson in order to confidently say you'd beat him? How much taller than Anderson Silva would you need to be in order to eek out a victory? Don't discount skill by calling it rare. It takes a lot to handle an opponent much larger than you, no matter how slow or clumsy they are.
@@Nilruin We're not dismissing that. We're dismissing the premise that size doesn't matter. I'll say it again. Weight classes exist for a reason.
@@Nilruin the point just flew past you. The entire point is that size does indeed matter and with everything you just said, you just reinforced the very point he was making. You have to be leagues above your opponent skill wise or cunning(luck even) to beat somebody who is much larger than you such as even 30-50 pounds. Mind you, that is going off actual size and not just someone being tall or fat although size differences create a gameplan of advantages and disadvantages. Mind you, I only watched half the vid and only seen people fighting within the same weight class. Just being shorter doesn't make it a size doesn't matter. Being short but still in the same weight class whether it be muscle or a stocky build can come with its own advantages such as closing in and throwing hooks where as a taller opponent would op for range and throwing punches outside the reach of the shorter guy. Butterbean was actually smaller than his opponent in size( just not weight, size being their actual size). I'm sorry but a 5'6-5'8 175 pound fighter most likely isn't winning against a 6 foot 220-250 pound fighter if they are of even remotely similar skill. That is why it is given great praise when a fighter moves up or down a weight class and is successful because they can be at a serious disadvantage outside their natural weight class. Bigger opponents generally give out far more power and can take far more, that is just going off a relative weight. A poor lightweight to middle weight has no chance in hell of beating a heavyweight even if you took their top fighter and put em up against the lowest ranked fighter. It's a illusion to comfort small people
In my opinion I don’t think size matters bc in the real world or In street fights it doesn’t matter who’s big or not if it’s a fight it’s a fight but in professional they have weight divisions so it can be fair fight but I believe that many ppl in middle weight can beat the heavy weights some be lackin technique but I feel like it’s possible
Kunkli tividar or something like that knocked Bob Sapp down off his feet multiple times and Sapp threw him out the ring, bout tossed the ref and kinda trying to really fight with him and he knocked Sapp flat out with one elbow
BUT... the ONLY guy to ever knock out Butter Bean was taller, more muscular, so we really can't say BB was knocked out by someone "Half" his size. In fact, i'd say Bernardo was bigger in all statures except body fat. I would have bet 100k on Bernardo had I been there!
Size and weights matters and it matters a lot even though when what we saw on this video can and it has happened.
its always size doesn't matter, until it matters.... then suddenly it wasn't fair.
5:57 .. is he the same man from blood and bone movie ?
Doesn't matter how big ya are, if you get your head spun around, it's nap time. The Butterbean fight makes sense. Pretty sure that guy mostly boxes. He hasn't had a lot of training watching for feet.
I didn't see don frye and Yoshihiro fight,it's one of the best fights of early ufc?
I’ve done it! And seen it even more. Being big can be a handicap! Watching big scary guys go down. I had a very big problem with a quick smaller guy, than I ever had with a big guy😂 some big guys can move tho. Those are the guys, I call, YES AND SIR😂
Size does matter it's the reason there's a 265 lb limit in heavyweight
Definitely, hence weight classes. Mass matters.
@Orthodox Conservative Islam there's a reason they don't let 350 lb lineman from the NFL fight in the Mixed Martial Arts......
@Orthodox Conservative Islam you're right.... many people don't know..... Brock Lesnar is the one who had the 265 limit put in the UFC... he was too lazy to be dealing with 350 400 lb men
@Orthodox Conservative Islam It's possible, but unlikely. If mass and height make no difference, why are there weight categories in almost every modern, organised combat sport? Why do almost all professional MMA fighters and coaches focus on weight cuts, in order to be as massive as possible within their given weight category fir the fight? Mass and height is not everything, but it is definitely an advantage to be bigger than your opponent, as you have the potential of longer reach, more mass to add to your strikes, and more weight for energy absorption of your opponent's strikes as well as being heavier in grappling.
no. speed and power.

There should've been some Fedor Emelianenko fights in the video!
@2:35 4:15 6:05 5:00 7:10 8:10. "In the history of professional fighting a man has never won against an opponent 100 lbs heavier" - Michael Jai White. 🤣🤪
It only takes a small ax to bring down a large tree,persistence,I’m told I have a phantom punch ,sometimes I’m actually worried about throwing it ,really don’t want to kill by accident.
Trees don't hit back.
Você esqueceu Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard , filmado nos anos 20s
1st clip - perfect timing. 2nd clip - different code. 3rd clip - jello for dessert. 4th clip - chin of granite. 5th clip - samoan over hand right = sleepy time. 6th clip - 2nd chance fail. 7th clip - prime Tyson. 8th clip - Sapp pissed his pants and cried. 9th clip - venom took the wrong body. 10th clip - when your cat digs its claws in deep when playfighting.
You can put all Tyson's fight, and that's the video.
I'm not like really big or anything...that kick to a face was a thing of beauty.
I never get bored watching Mike Tysons punches flying like a rocket.
Tyson was a great sportsman. Just look at how he immediately went to check if his opponent was ohk after the fight.
Was that before or after eating a ear? 😆
And, there is/was Yuki Nakia. Who I greatly respect.
6:24 Did Sapp throw the fight? The first knee didn't connect. The second knee hit his chest??
Damn so many overhand right knockouts!!
I was kind of laughing when I heard the overhand being brought up so many times. Just makes me recall all my nights sparring with buddies after drinks. Overhands felt like the only punch that ever landed heavy on those giants. 😂 Body shots and jabs were the main setups. But that overhand was the one that always made them go "Alright, he got a punch too". 💀
LOL Your discription clossed that match...🤦♂️🤦♂️
Akebono and Yarborough: didn't have a clue what they were doing in there. Sapp: did the least amount of work for the largest amount of money he could get. Remember, when the guy used to give a shit he scored a win over Ernesto fucking Hoost. Butterbean: yeah, low kicks. Also, Bernardo was hardly a shrimp himself. Schilt: did horrible things to Hari's liver in the rematch. Everybody has an off day. If your default reaction to seeing a guy bigger than you is "I can totally take him" you deserve all you get, Darwin Award included.
kunkli tivadar ,like 155, ko bob sapp in like the first round. very interesting bob threw him out the ring, tossed the ref and lil dude climbed back in and dropped him
i almost forgot that badr hari also won fights :)
Stefan Holm vs Jan Nortje should be on here
what about cro cop vs sapp???
At 8:27 how come Mike Tyson is in the ring with John Cleese?
That knee that knocked out Sapp almost made contact with him.
P.M.S.L
For such an enormous guy I seem to remember he took a few dodgy losses, that's just how I remember things from seeing his fights years ago.
It certainly does matter but the bigger fighter needs the skill to go with the size. A good big man always beats a good little man.
I second that! I'm 5'-7" on a good day! Sparred with most guys who are taller and heavier...and there's a huge freaking difference when you get hit! Especially when you collide into a blow instead of rolling with it! Feels like bricks LMAO! That's why I transitioned into weapons! Might as well use my speed to an advantage! Haha 😂
its the size of the fight In the dog...not the size of the dog in the fight
Do you mean growth or overall? Igor vovchanchyn was 173 cm tall but weighed 93 kg and he could compete with the heavy lead.
@@RKalos real life isn’t a movie😂 doesn’t matter how much heart you have, if you lack the tools needed to win, then you won’t win
@@user-ig8vm1ns4t I know it better than you... Successful men either they born with certain skills , either they put the work down in order to accomplish these skills and be successful. In order to do that you need to have the mentality of a gamedog.. Besides the bodys role is to carry the mind..
Yarborough makes Abdullah the Butcher look like Jimmy JJ Walker
Só faltou tirar a legenda dos vídeos.
Boxing and fighting for your life is different if u land a neck shot no matter your size ur going to the ground
Some of those people shouldn't have been in a fight, the outcome was obvious and they're just being used as punching bags.
It DOES matter! It still brings a lot of advantages, but you just need the skill to use them properly!
There's literally a video that states why your statement is false..
@@danieliorio6598 Yeah, like there aren't weight classes for a reason...
4:36 It's not "A-Jax" like the cleanser, it's pronounced "Eye Axe."
the dutch striker has a name: Remy Bonjasky
6:08 “He brokeded my nose”
To make a big man small..Take out his knees.
Good tip for canelo.
Mistakes of larger fighters. Relying on power of mass. Without fundamentals you're useless with cases of luck. Speed, power, fundamentals, ground training, and distance control. You can make larger fighters good. Biggest problem with over size muscles is the energy consumption so endurance is key. Got to add it all and not skip anything.
I would no have Butterbean in this video. Hewas no giant in comparison to his opponent here.
if you are looking to kill and not toy around with then size absolutely matters!!!! but if you are going to stand there and dance around all fancy like then maybe not.
The Butter Bean fight didn’t seem fair, he was boxing while the other guy was allowed to use MMA tactics…🤔
Calling losers like Sapp by name and don't have the dignity to respect and recognise legends like Peter Aerts and Remy Bonjasky? You lose.
This an 8:31 minute video. You could make an 81:30 hour video of little guys flying off the ring compliment of opponents double their size.
I like how on the last one the giant guy after tapping out just taps the little guy on the head like well done mate 🤣😭😂
That's his son. He's done well with himself.
Felt so sorry for Vonda that I had to look for fights she'd actually won. In anything I watched she's constantly rocked by wild right hooks. It's a pity no trainer got that issue fixed; she could at least have been taught to keep that defense up and dodge punches by stepping back like Ali did who was not in the habit of ducking punches.
Noticed the same thing. Just lousy boxing defense in general. No head movement, hands to low, no foot timing whatsoever. Just a big target.
her defence is closing her eyes. how you teach some like that? lol
It ain't the size of the dog in the fight....it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Its who is stronger and faster. Size has nothing to do with those 2. Size is size and thats it.
Z życia swego wiem, że za zwyczaj każdy kto jest pewien swego wzrostu lub swej wagi, kończy na deskach. bo " jak ten mały zacznie krążyć, to ten duży za nim nie nadąży" !
Funny how Butter Bean was fighting someone taller and the same weight.... Size not a factor here, only that Eric had never fought MMA until then, only boxing.
they are nowhere near the same weight
Pioniers igor vovchanchyn, mike tyson, david tua, melvin manhoef, magomed ismailov.
Little ones are the best!
These big guys lack skills. In the cage it would be enough to grab the small guy and brake his leg or back
The old saying, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Also the bigger they are if you lose the fight the worse beating you take. Try getting hit by a guy your weight and size then get punched or kicked by a guy 30 more pounds and a 6 inches taller.
Damn, the heel hook may be the best defense for a small dude against a much bigger opponent, a small, but strong persons torque from the whole body would overcome the strength of the heel, foot, calf, all of that... That's physics. Someone tell me I'm wrong? Plus a smaller person moves faster usually, sink it in before ya hit the ground, and wham.
If they're way bigger than you, bust that shit. Ha. Fuck the tap, especially in a street fight. Don't even look, or wait for a tap, bust the ankle, arm, whatever, when they scream, let go, and run away.
Even if they're not bigger than you. Ha
I fought giant people before it's not pleasant in reality
Seeing Bob Sapp getting destroyed, always bring a smile to my face. Also, James Thompson. Imagine being that big and that bad at fighting 😂😂😂
Por que vcs usam dois Lutadores famosos pra atrair pessoas a ver esse vídeo?
I’ve never seen bob sapp do anything other than flop
Bob Sapp was a big baby lol
Its not the Size of the Man in the Fight.... Its the Size of the Fight in the Man...
This is just sheer comedy. A huge tall bulky individual's only real enemy is gravity.
Butterbean is a hefty dude but the other guy was taller. Don't see how it fits the title.
Weight classes exist for a reason. These are outliers, fighters with big skill differences.
That's why boxing and MMA has weight classes. They don't want those featherweights bullying the heavyweights all the time
Also is worth to notice that most of this "small guys" are above 6 feet tall and over 200 lbs. Meaning that these people arent small at all.
a Fighter kicking and punching, vs a fighter just punching... how is that fair?
De la Hoya vs shaq😂
I don't think Butterbeans size advantage was all that much, in this fight. His opponent looked like a redwood tree.
Size matters; it's just not the only factor. Light-switch brains are bad brains.
Let's face it. Some of those bid dudes are just there to collect a paycheck and go home.
Chery picking absolutely no merrit for a title.
That first girl just walked straight into that punch.
Butterball lol 🤣
Not 1 conner great job with false adv.
.59 in Britney Griner gets rocked
Sapp was just a punching bag
Sapp is an ex American football player that plays a fictional character for the audiences.
size dosen't matter if you are strong enough to beat your oppenent :D otherwise size wins most of match except professionals ofcourse.
Size does matter! If the heavyweight is an amateur street fighter, and the lightweight is a pro who’s trained their whole life, then of course the lightweight wins. But if they’re equally good, then the heavyweight wins! Not because he’s a better fighter, but because he punches harder and is harder to bring down! So yes, in the end size does matter..
Size doesn't matter it's not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog
Tyson is the best in this video
