In my opinion, yes, the shorter would win but it depends on the fighting style. Brawling could be either, MMA might be the taller and wrestling might be the shorter. I am taller than most people my age that I know but I am also stockier so that is kind of an advantage as I can lift people and they can't lift me.

well, the general rule is the shorter you are the stronger you are, if you are the same weight, so mike Tyson was so much more powerful than alot of boxers because he was small, but weighed the same as his opponents, so the shorter heavier person would win, but what kind of fight is that, that basically changes ever variable.

The 5ft 9 guy would probably be made more of fat so that wud effect his fitness. The taller guy wud just have to use that jab. I've sparred with taller boxers who r slower n less technically good and I've struggled

None of that matters as long as your a good fighter

I was just wondering because to me, size equals weight. Height means little except reach advantage.

Would this be a fair fight:

6'5 170lbs vs 5'9 250lbs

To me the shorter person has the upper hand because they are fatter, stocker and heavier

What do you think???
