if youre below 220 pounds you are in serious danger of getting hurt

[pamith]

For about a minute when I was in my late 20's I weighed 225 lbs. I can confirm that it scared at least one person off. I sensed someone was following at night when I was walking to my car. I turned and in my meanest voice told them to get the fuck away from me. He literally ran away. So it was either, my size, my ugly mug or the angry voice that worked.  I have never weighed anywhere near that much since that time. Currently I am hovering around 180 lbs.

What can I say...you are a badass!

Thanks for saying that....even though nothing could be further from the truth. When I was in high school, this fellow picked a fight with me. It lasted all of about a minute before it became obvious that I had no idea how to fight. He said, "forget it" and walked away.

Mr. Rat Terrier Lover.

Wasn't there some thread here eons ago about how bodybuilders could flex to make their muscles more dense and therefore become more bullet resistant.

Lmfao!!!!

Street fights 

What? It happens

[wes]

Working in a strip bar for 13 years has allowed me to see some tough smaller fuckers pound the shit out of big guys.

Big guys don`t fight as much because their size intimidates people.....little guys fight all their lives.

i feel, as a man, in todays day and age, you need to be 220-240 pounds to be able to hold your own in a street fight.

seeing bodybuilding from this perspective, it's about survival. this is no joke, this is life or death shit. you walk around under 220 you are in SERIOUS DANGER of getting seriously hurt or even get killed in todays society.

220 pounds is not the dealbreaker, midgets below 5'8" at 220 pounds will still be targets.

You need to be at least 6'2" (with good reach on arms and legs) and have decent size (220 pounds and higher).

Weird because my girlfriend is 5foot2 120lbs and no one has killed or hurt her yet maybe being an intelligent lawyer can help you  avoid fighting to the death in the streets

Looking like Goodrum will also make people think twice of jumping you

[bhank]

You guys seem to be confused the op was about a bodyweight of 220 pounds of people who lift and workout to get there, if you are a fat out of shape 250 pound guy who doesnt lift then a 180 pound gym rat would be stronger and more powerful so of course he would win the fight.

Exactly there is a big difference between your average 220lb slob and a 180lb athlete the athlete is going to take that all day

I wasn't referring to using a little .22, I was referring to a real mans gun.

A real man doesn't need a gun

"What's your discipline?"

"Leg extensions."

Awesome

I can say I feel my best and confident fighting wise at 240 at 6'1.75",been much heavier and felt slow and been 215 and felt weak.So for me 240ish is perfect but I will say the toughest guys I've ever fought or knew were all under 200.

You measure your height in 1/4 inches. Very interesting. Did you check your height in the morning or evening. It is not uncommon to shrink over the course of a day.

So, midgets are the best fighters?

I'm thinking 185 cm with good reach is the most optimal size for speed and power

Pound for pound yes lol but he is correct little guys fight their entire life no one ever fights the big guys most big guys are less skilled. Of course they also don't need as much skill if they are bigger
