Tbf I dnt think it's fair either way both have pros and cons depends on fighter
Big guys have weight and power if a small fighter can add weight and power the big guy is fucked belive me smaller fighters are better if they stop being sceard and just eat up the big fuckers only flesh and bone 🍖 we can hold a cow we can hold a man small farmers hold cattle by the horns 🤘 find his horns hild him controle him 😡😉plus big fuckers fall easy so just get um over reaching if tha dnt work use your speed to get at them use all amd evey trick body face legs keep chnage from high to low shots then center woth no pattern they can not keep up there brain will try to strike you out wait for it and then execute the shot simple

Size does matter. But size gives an advantage, not a guarantee. That's it.
Being smaller gives you the advantage of being way faster and having more stamina
@@landolonnie8811 except maybe for Tyson Fury, that guy is such a freak of nature
@@alstone4253 ok but I guarantee Harry Greb would win even Sugar Ray Robinson or Sam Langford who fought in heavyweight lightweight welterweight
@@landolonnie8811 hmm that's a tough one, would be a great match up I'm sure, but it's just too difficult to analyse Greb without any footage. His record is insane but then he could be beaten on a bad day.
@@landolonnie8811 being faster and having more stamina would come in handy when running the hell away from the bigger guy
Reminds me of an old saying. "The bigger they are the harder they fall."
Bob sapp has taken more dives than a swimmer
Bob Sapp was a footballer, not a fighter... He just wasn't able to withstand the punishment a pro fighter can dish out ;-)
...and this guy really wants to take on iron mike!😂😂😂
@@jesuschristus7348 Iron Mike would kill that guy
@@jesuschristus7348 you sure it was Bob Sapp that wanted to fight Iron Mike? I only ask that question because I know Don Frye wanted to step in the boxing ring and fight Iron Mike. I don't believe it was out of dislike why Don wanted to fight him I think it was more out of respect for the champ that Don wanted to fight him and when asked why Don don't challenge him to a MMA fight he said you can't challenge the champ and expect him to step in a different style fighting when he was being challenged he said it would be like Iron Mike challenging Tiger Woods to a boxing match so if he was going to challenge he would be the one to change his style of fighting. Don was a badass in his prime but I don't think he could beat the champ at his own game but I'll guarantee it Don Frye would have done ALOT better than Bob Sapp!!! Lol
It felt good to see that smaller guy destroy him
The problem with being bigger is that your mind says yes but your stamina has already stood you up.
hahah exactly, size has pros and cons too many losers dont get it, size is good for brute force and you can take mote hits, we all know that, but the bad side is, its much much easier to get exhausted, and you are alot slower, because of the weight.
Remember that Mike Tyson was the smallest Heavyweight Boxer ever. And Valujev the biggest.
Mike Tyson was not 'the smallest heavyweight ever'. Not even close. Marciano and Tua were shorter at 5'10", although the bullish Tua weighed in at 230lb to 250lb through his career. Tyson was 5'11 and fought around 220lbs to 230lbs for most of his career. Dwight Qawi was probably the smallest in height at only 166 cm, or a tick over 5'5".With a surprising 180 cm / 71" reach for a short, powerful man, Qawi started as a highly effective WBC and WBA light heavyweight champion, moving into heavyweight later in his career.
@@c.glivingstone9832 Dwight qawi was 5,7 an frazier same height an around same weight as tyson, an some say Marcia no could anywhere from 13st 10 to 14st 4
No James toney was
Tyson only beat bums, he lost to every half of famer he fought
Larry Holmes
Height really doesnt make that big of a difference but weight and muscle certainly do.
Definitely true in a lot of factors. People think ,oh You're tall you must be strong af. But they don't realize you got your 120 lb 6ft ass beat by a 145lb man that was 5'2 ...
I think Cro Cop said that Bob Sapp would win most of the fights past 2007. But there was no win bonus included and he didn't want to take the amount of damage required to win. For him it was easier to show up and go down in the first round rather than make it a 15min brawl.
Only legit Bob sapp fight is in earlier career for example vs big nog. After that he just threw fight.
Just came here to say the same as everyone else. Size absolutely does matter. Showing a few fights where the skill level was a complete mismatch doesn't mean anything! Good day.
If the size would not matter, there would not be any weight categories in boxing or kickboxing, etc. Of course, if someone is 500 lbs and looks like a sack of shit barely standing on his own feet so it is quite different than Lennox Lewis fighting the same quality boxer who would be a featherweight. Or do you think that a world champ in featherweight would destroy Lennox Lewis?
@@pierrel4525 I think you replied to the wrong comment by accident.
Sorry, I see now that you also said that size matters.
Then why do I beat up bigger people all the time
I'm a 125 & I will kick Tua,s ALL!
I have never and will never let an opponents size faulter me.
If “size didn’t matter” professional fighting wouldn’t be split by 8lb increments lol edit** I love all the people that know better than the WBC, UFC, WBF, and every other international fighting organization in history. Hilarious.
It doesn't matter
@@davrkxy6668 It matters a lot It's just not everything If you had 2 equally skilled with a 10 to 20 kg difference The bigger has a higher chance at winning If you got a fatazz vs a skilled welterweight Obviously the welterweight is gonna win
Right
Tell that to Kimbo slice when he got dusted by a light weight. Watching a heavyweight fight vs a lightweight fight your heavyweight is going to gas out a lot sooner even though his punches are going to hurt a lot more then the lightweight that doesn't mean he's going to be able to land those punches.
@@jax1026 the smaller get have more of advantage. He can move around faster and get in and out fast and bigger guys is less faster and athletic than a smaller but they have great knock out power will help? Yes but if you opponent is moving around at a fast pase constantly he's gonna be harder to hit and its more benefits to being a light to mid weight fighter than be a heavy weight fighter
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. Mark Twain
Badr was such a beast. Would’ve loved to have seen him in the UFC.
Don Frye was tough as nails.
Interesting 👊👊👊
Thanks for watching
I personally get a kick out of the look on a big mans face, when a little guy punches him in the face and he realizes that the little guy has all of the power he needs to end the fight with one good punch
Size matters when skills levels are similar levels. These fights were total mismatches.
You must not know who Butterbean is
@@landolonnie8811 Butterbean is a boxer not MMA fighter
@@sujitsharma4346 yeah who has knocked out many people
@@sujitsharma4346 besides sure don’t really matter if they are smaller they will be faster and harder to hit with more stamina if they are bigger they will be stronger but tire out a lot more. It really depends
@@landolonnie8811 So you think Mayweather can beat Tyson Fury in boxing?
Love watching sapp get done up
He was know match for the kickboxer or whatever he is the elbow shot put him to rest lol
Yes u really great
Bada hari 👍🇬🇷one of the best ❤
Good sharing
I'm happy to learn that none of Sapp's fights are fixed! iSoy Feliz, Sapp!
Sometimes, a fight doesn't go as you planned ! ... Sometimes, "Golliaths" loses to "David" 🙂
Feel free to respond to this, I'm just curious where it goes at this point. I'm 5'6" male 130-138lbs is where I sit most of the time. I am half Dutch-Canadian and Phillipino so I also have a smaller build, but trained on my own for roughly 10 years of my life in various Mixed Martial Arts. I have never been in a Dojo, but always had an interest in Martial Arts so my friend circle was kinda weird over the years. I've met people who have had 15 yrs in Boxing to 5 years in Karate etc. Taekwando, I met someone who did Keysi once. Muay Thai was a big influence on me as well as Kali for the use of the 8 limbs and basic weapon handling. I have sparred and (In practice) attempted to fight with them in somewhat serious boundaries. Again.. I don't have Dojo or Ring experience we'll just say I was a bit of a troubled kid so I fought a lot in school and had some street credability in my early to late teens. People I met even on the street could take on any one of the guys who knew any one of those Martial Arts because they had fought like their life depended on it once upon a time, and I have had both parties sit in the same room and admit that to eachother. Size in my experience only matters really if someone is pushing you or gonna sit on you. Punches can be avoided, and if you can take a hit you can try to block them or lessen the blow and then slip it, but you can keep distance maintained if your footwork is good enough it really doesn't take much other than some basic work with a car tire and a jump rope to be able to do that.. No joke. Footwork and striking accuracy are important. If you get into a fight whether it's the ring or the street and you fight like you would like to go home and see your family again, you can win. Just knowledge from an old boxer. I've won and lost to people who are well 50lbs over my weight and in some cases of work I have had to bring people that size down to my level to get them in restraints. Bigger people are easier to deal with if you can grapple, and that as a smaller person I will say has been my only downfall with weight difference. Height isn't any different if they weight 10 to 20 lbs more than you. It will come down to what you know and what your opponent knows and "most fights will be 50/50 in the ring." I havent seen any Broadcasted version of fighting that's been really unfair, they have their rules. In the street or the bar or at a park, Alleyway, your car, etc. it's all going to be unfair so skill will play massive role and how fast you can supress the situation. The streets are ruthless sometimes but you don't have to be, keep your weapons sheathed and train with good intentions also try to remember you aren't the Hero in everyone's story ya fuck'n guy stop getting offended by people saying "Oh I'm bigger than this guy I can totally win." until he has your head in a guillotine choke and your scrambling like a sick dog on the floor. Respect eachother. Fighting the wrong person is enough to put either party in a Coma and nobody wants to do that to anybody lets be real.
Nice
Speaking of size: I remember i was putting my pops in the headlock who was over 400 pounds but still the same size because of the actual disadvantage.
I like how the intro of the video the commentator said "size doesn't always matter" And everyone took that personally.
❤️🔥🔥🔥
5:00 🔥🔥
There are pros and cons in height as well, people often assume its a good thing but its not, more power and more brute force, more strength, but you get tired faster and you are alot slower, you are more vulnerable to getting hit on senstitive areas.
Lol you probably meant half their weight 😁
Cro Cop was awesome to watch in Pride Fighting (IMO the golden age of UFC) He had such a glass chinn tho.
Can anyone name some fights where "hulk mode" was displayed? Like a huge dude getting his ass beat and then burst into a game winning rampage? That Bob Sap fight was close where he threw the guy out the ring but he needed to win.
Every tall guy and big guy’s nightmare.
Wow brave men bravo
Size is an advantage, not a guarantee. Depends how skilled the guy is.
Nope it isn't. Smaller people are harder to hit, quicker and take longer to tire and can also deal a lot of damage if they get within reach Weigh and size classes are there to keep everything consistent and fair no complaining by fans or fighters on either side
@@zeffy._440that’s actually a take I’ve never heard before
Facts
@@fartman-fl4dh just is my guess. Both types have their own advantages. Someone who is taller has benefits and drawbacks and shorter it's not quite clear cut and dry and either side can make arguments so to keep things consistent and fair to both fighters weight classes and size classes exist.
Size matters , skill matters and height matters.
Nah if both the fighters are in the same weight class and below 15 percent body fat then height wouldn't matter
@@arnavpandey1424 Reach does matter tho.
Skill yes size no
Lol big guys getting all worked up when lil guys take em out 😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
there's flab everywhere, free willy!!
This isn't in all circumstances. This is the few and far between.
Why do the really tall guys seem like friendly giants who don't really wanna fight?
Bro because speed is power being big reduces your speed
That elbow was fucking brutal
Size matters 😂😂😂 not wen u get a elbow like that a chin is a chin lol
😱
And I always thought it was mirko kro cop
2:53 left hook.
If this is what you call destroyed then I'm sure I would be disappointed to see what you mean if they were obliterated.
biggest problem with BOB he had No stamina, he lost a lot of fights because he went out off breath, og got some leg kicks
No Mighty Mo vs. Khaoklai?
Magnum PM is Don Frye.
Fedor is da best !!
sick this shit always reminds me of the django scene where the 2 black guys fought to death
For me is top Kunkli Tivadar (176cm,70kg) vs Bop Sapp (196cm,160kg),Kunkli was👍🦁👑
Nice elbow
Size matters, imagine if Wilt Chamberlain fought these guys.
He'd lose everytime.
Big good boxer !always! wins the small good boxer
Giants like Alistair Overeem will squash an expert smaller fighter like a bug. Underestimate big guys and big fighters at your peril like Michael Jai White said.
We need to hit DJ with a growth-ray and introduce true terror to the world.
I don't think any small guy will underestimate any big guy most likely it will be the other way around.
Why tf is connor and bobb sapp the thumbnail on this lmao
Bob sapp is a big comic
Size absolutely matters!
Just because your girl said that to you
No one said it doesnt
Was the 3rd one badr hari?
When Bonn sapp fougt Conor ? What Event ?
countered with a right hook says narrator. it was clearly a left hook. i always wonder why so many people dont know they left from right. lol that shit is weird to me.
Don Frye is an American hero
Mike Tyson was knocking out opponents that were 20 inches bigger and almost 70 pounds heavier then him. Size doesn’t matter, you can fight or you can’t. Everyone has their weakness.
In my life time, i seen more giants destroying little guys than the other way around. Take it from a guy that spend 4 years on maximun security prison.
@@shawnmendrek3544 No one was trained, other than the ocasional street brawl. The fights lasted only seconds. The advantage is the bigger guys put so much weight behind the punch and when they get a hold on the smaller guy either they slam the inmate agains a metal table or char that is bolted to the floor or even the wall. Once one of those dudes is on top, there is no way to get out unless some one breaks the fight, which in most cases it was a inmate. Guards are never around when this things happen.
@@shawnmendrek3544 The few times the smaller guy won is when the weights where not too far apart.
Were they Polynesians? I hear they fuck people up in prison. They’ll fuck you up even if you’re bigger than they are.
If the lil guys learnt the art and the bigger guy leant the arts the lil will most likely win if he dont get caught up. Key is not to get caught up. Much harder done than said lol
Isn't it quite obvious. But with the right tactics I believe the smaller guys stand a chance against the big guys.
Size is a great advantage to have ………unless you’re Bob 😂
سلام؛ چرا؟ اینها مگه عکس باب سپ و ینفر دیگه نبود اول ویدیو
Size Doesn’t Matter… That’s what I’ve been telling my girl since last 1 week ever since our hook up and haven’t heard back from her yet
Don't worry Bro. She will be calling you any day now. Trust me Bro.
2:09
Sapp was always a joke in terms of skill set, and rarely had the stamina to keep up his attack more than 2-3 rounds
Bob guy fought the reff
I box and kickbox since age of 14 till today 33 years old. Ive never lost a fight from bigger opponents. Size really doesnt matter. Its about technique, speed and strenght combined. Bigger guys sometimes have a bit more power in their punches although i most of the times punch harder and have more power than them. They are slow and easy to destroy. I always prefer bigger opponents cuz of this and till this day i knockt them all out fast. Bigger fighters are the worse fighters and cant handle punches in their faces. Their chins and cheeks are like glass. Its fragile and breaks easily.
If you are really a fighter as you claim, you should know the reason for weight class and weight penalty on combat sports.
I get what you're saying, but you'd likely get demolished if you fought a 100lb heavier version of yourself.
kid tale
@@TankAce69 of course there weight classes because it’s a advantage for most but not a guarantee
as a wise man said : the big good boxer always beats a small good boxer
Being a refree is hard
was this ‘prime’ bob sapp or ‘just pay me’ bob sapp
surely mike zambidis must be in this video
Size only matters if you let it matter... Any man can chop down a giant tree, it just takes training, practice and right techniques
Lets ask mike tyson if size matters in fighting. Especially a small trained athlete vs a big untrained person
6:33 its a real fight? Look at the left hand of the giant.
It does matter when you are dealing with people who belong to the same art?
Size does matter, that's why Weight Divisions exist, there is indeed a disadvantage for someone bigger since he is a lot heavier, his punch won't be as fast as the smaller guy, but that doesn't mean the bigger guys punch is really slow, if you get hit for example a fat guys punch, you'll be sent to the hospital right away.
Badr Hari defeat Hong Man Choi(218cm),Semmy Schilt(212cm).Great fighter in kickboxing.
if someone is like 150 kg and you are 70 kg if he hits you oh boy you are dead😇😇
Nah
@@kristim6632 Wrong.
@@cordongrouch9323 bro if you are too soft doesnt mean all 70 kg can go down after a hit. Most of 150 kg dont even know how to fignt man. I would rather fight an 150 then an 100 for example
@@kristim6632 I have plenty of experience; there is some merit to what you say. Being on the small side myself, I have a few KO's but equal training and experience, speed and power with differing weights is a potent factor. I know I would hate to have to fight someone like myself; but I've been KO'd only by bigger guys. They usually didn't want a rematch, tho. And some were just psychotic and did not quit until they died (not by my hand). But fighting as entertainment is barbaric. I trained for self defense but avoiding trouble in the first place is best.
I know you cannot see dislikes anymore now, but come on that thumbnail was unnecessary ... I like your other videos though.
Thanks for watching! Just showing my photoshop skills ☺
I dunno if little guys beating big guys counts when the fights were in Japan. We all know Pride was more WWE than MMA.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
There is also an youtube that knocked out an 193 cm boy that he hated( like 6feet) and he was 1 METER 76)
the fuck he call Mirko Cro Cop?
How often did the bigger guy win in the pride days? It seems like they always lose. I'm talking the guys bigger than Bob Sapp. Hung Man Choi, Giant Silva, Akebono etc.
Power is emotion intensity levels matter.size dosnt matter
George Patton was 6’2.
Bob did not like short people
But mcgreggor never woulda beat him the picture don’t make sense
I'm 5,6 an 11st 8 an if I was good at any sport boxing, mma etc an fought another guy 6,2 an 15st I'd get seriously disfigured unless it was a mate hah. A good big un will always beat a good little un, yes we're gunna be faster but then 3 of my punches would be the same as just 1 of his.
