what has more advantage in a fight, strength, craziness/physconess, or size?

Question

just curious, my mom says craziness/physconess, my dad said strength, my bro also said strength, but is say size. ive always thought that stupid "size doesnt matter statement" is stupid, cause i mean it does. and i know craziness/physconess is a stupid way to describe it but i couldnt think of another way... oh yeah and i forgot this counts for alllll animals not just humans, this is relative to every species. so what do you guys think?

Answer 1

again



its skill. size and strength has nothing to do with it, one of my instructors was about 4", about 100 lbs, and at 60 years of age could mob the floor with my friend who was over 6"



craziness only works if you psych the other person out, if you don't then you will lose.

Answer 2

You mean "psycho" not whatever variations on spelling you were using.



What matters in a fight is your speed and technical skill. Being crazy, strong or gianormous won't make a lick of difference if your opponent is skilled and fast. Strength isn't as important as knowing where and how to hit for maximum effect. A quick, skilled opponent will be able to avoid damage while maximizing the damage they deal out.



A lot of guys tend to think that strength and size is the answer while women and smaller guys go for the craziness. Neither are that good or especially reliable.



In animals, fighting is instinctive. While "craziness" can happen, it usually comes with a diminished set of natural instincts, which is all an animal has to fight with. Like humans, some animals will be better fighters than others based on their natural instincts and individuality. Point in case, while walking my dog I had the opportunity to watch a Scottish Terrier (~20 pounds) stand his ground and claim a stick from an American Mastiff (~150 pounds). While there was no physical confrontation there, they have a way to establish dominance without fighting.

Answer 3

In a situation where your sole goal is to end the person's life, it's about 10%. 30%. Somewhere around there, if you want a number. This is solely for trained individuals that know what they are doing. For untrained individuals, they're out of luck. In sports, it's like 75%. The weight classes are so that people don't just get dominated. They want to see an example of skill vs skill. Not big size vs small size. It's a variation equation. The more safety rules there are, the more size and strength and speed matters. The less rules there are, the more aggression and innate instinctual rhythm, timing, and attack mentality matters.

Answer 4

Perhaps 'aggression' might be better then 'physconess'. And aggression carries a lot of weight, especially if the combatants are not very skilled.



I would say skill > aggression > size > strength. Sort of.



In combat sports, size matters a lot, because everyone has high skill and strength for their size.



In real life, most people have very little skill, so aggression goes a long way.



The reality is, you need a fair bit of skill to handle aggression, especially aggression backed with a bit of skill. Diego Sanchez is a good example of someone who rolled all the way to the lightweight belt off moderate skill with high aggression before hitting someone with enough technical skill to put him away.

Answer 5

your mom is right. I knew kids in school who were all of 5'3" 120 but no one messed with them 'cuz they were nuts. I saw some skinny coke-head kid once deck a

guy who was older and twice his size

Even Bruce Lee said something to the effect that it is hard to deal with a psychopath who becomes fixated on biting your nose off. To stop him you may have to kill him.

Sonny Liston was a mob enforcer, and having been in jail he was scared of crazy guys.

Cassius Clay ( Muhammed Ali) exploited this fear by acting crazy in Liston's presence.

This gave Clay an edge going in to their title fight.

Answer 6

Have you walked up to fighting animals and asked if they were a PSYCHO? As far as humans go it depends on the fight. is it a street fight etween 2 idiot kids or a cage fight with 2 trained athletes?

Answer 7

well, royce gracie, has proved time and time, that size, doesn't mean ****. It's the fight in you that counts, which would I guess mean, the craziness/psychoness. If the guy has more fight in him, and has much more to prove, thats a very dangerous thing.

Answer 8

Craziness, combined with strength.

Size really isn't important, unless you want to take them down or throw them.

Answer 9

speed, and geniusness, and Chuck Norris

Answer 10

What the hell is a "physco"?
