Does bodystrength play a large role in real fights?

Question

I know I asked a similar question but I would different opinions on this (though the answer may be obvious).

Answer 1

Its not always body strength but speed, agility, and will power. The old saying "its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog" really is true.

Answer 2

I would say so because you can litteraly pin and hurt your opponet or opponets down easly unlike if you didn't have good body strength you would have no chance to win a fight.Also FYI make sure you know how to block for when that person or people are tackling you and becareful that you don't get caught or there will be consiquences for that. I know because the school I go to there is a lot of fights and also with in one day there are about 5 fights every day in the High School hallways and also some peopleget hurt when they didn't do anything. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Well, styles and weight classes on the side since this is "real fights"; I would say no. I hate to use the cliche' but, "Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."
You can hit the gym four times a week and gain a lot of strength, but if you can't take a hit or throw a punch, you're strength isn't going to do too much for you. Sure, the bigger dude is going to have the better odds at winning; but, if he takes a shot to the crotch/throat/eyes, his strength won't matter, it will be his ability to take pain.

Answer 4

In a boxing ring - Not really.

In a street fight - Yes - b/c the person can utilize his strength to wrestle or pin his opponent down.

Yes, but not nearly the most decisive. Skill plays the most important role.
