Title: Which is more important in a street fight?
Post by: Method101 on August 09, 2008, 09:01:32 AM
Strength

or

Fighting Skill/Technique?

I would say strength, imagine if a 180lbs man with a black belt martial arts got into a fight with a WSM competitor... the martial artist would get crippled. Ime fed up of people underestimating how important strength is.

You need both....but it is a whole different story if your opponent outweighs you by 80lbs

Haha - true. And you'll also find that the ones who talk the most are also the ones who've never been in a fight in their lives.

The last fight I had was in 8th grade and cant even remember.  Anyway...try this cat out.  You should get the techniques down pat while you are out cold and dreaming.

Secret of the street fighting is fast foot's, meaning that if you can run 100 meters under 10 seconds, you don't have to worry about your fighting skill's. Next best skill is to be able to draw and shoot fast enough. You can't beat the bullet, your martial art's doesn't mean shit against 9mm Clock. So simple. If you don't have one of those skills, it is better to stay at home.

Both

Bodyweight, functional strength also

But I dont think a pro boxer (or even experienced amateurs) would have serious difficulties beating a man heavier than them, it really dosent take alot to knock someone out.
Especially when the guy has never really expierienced a solid blow to the chin, its lights out.

Really depends on the situation

500 black guy vs 200pound white guy, White guy crushed him.

this question was knocked around before, when someone called squadfather on his claim regarding cotto (saying that he'd kick cotto's ass).

somebody in that thread put it out in black and white: would, say, michael carbajal in his prime - carbajal being one of the best boxers ever, but extremely tiny - beat a 300lbs (with abs) bodybuilder, big as a house but thick as a brick mentally with no fighting skills?

in other words, everything in life is a question of balance...even something as lowly as a street fight.

The thread is street fight...not trained fighter.  There are clowns on here who think they could beat Kimbo before he started to train.  The stuff he was doing on video in Miami was raw.  Untrained in a backyard brawl Kimbo would put guys in comas on this site...including those strong, slow a$$ bbers. 

If Disney could have harnessed the power of dreamers on this site....he would have ruled the world.

thats a pretty general philosophy you got going there, probably works but probably isn't applicable in most situations either lol
but i think you do make a good point, if someone excells in ALL areas (god knows what they are im not a fighter) then im assuming they will come out on top, unless the other guy lands a punch first

In a street fight the most important factors are speed of the mind and the hands.  Unless you have a weapon everything else falls on the wayside.

Neither.  I would say 4 of my buddies to jump the guy then I will stomp him.  That's how a real man fights.

its the same with anything.... strength doesnt mean ur good at it.....it varies

if u are any good at fighting its because u learned how its done....not because ur above average strength and weight....

naturally...poeple are better fighters than others , but its until u actually learn how its done.... thats when u take it to the next level...and this gives u the slight edge in a situation....certainly more of an edge than strength or weight.

Some of you guys are retarded,  you really think a pro fighter like (for example) GSP would have trouble destroying someone Ronnie Coleman's size ?? you guys are delusional and have never been in real fights. Size doesn't mean shit if you don't know how to use it (ie. the bigger guy doesn't know how to plant his feet and get power from his hips)

Who cares?  Street-fights are for low-lives anyway.  Why are so many guys obsessed with fighting, who would win in a fight, challenging others on the internet to fighting, etc.  ??? ::)

Not having any fighting skills or experience in a street fight is like jumping into the middle of a lake without knowing how to swim. In both cases you are going down, and pretty fast at that. In either event, being strong does not always guarantee anything.

Post by: under_rated on August 09, 2008, 06:24:22 PM
The most important thing is being able to land a clean punch.  Any strength more than knockout power is nice to have but essentially meaningless.

Honestly does anyone doubt a bare-knuckle welter weight lacks knockout power?

p.s. carry a weapon = pussy.

The only thing important in a street fight, is walking away on your feet afterwards.
