Boss, just like I misread your post a little bit, you have surely mistaken mine. There is no reason for you to insult and attack me.
If you get it down to the base we are pretty much in agreement besides a few minor things. First of all, even you claimed 600lb bench at 200lb was “rare” (rear). “Unlikely” and “rare” are synonymns. By you being 230 AND a power lifter with a 600lb. BP, I stand by my claim. A 200lb fighter benching 600lbs. is unlikely.
And secondly, just like you think my small guy v.s. big guy statement is “flawed” (flowed), I happen to think yours is a bit flawed as well. I said that at similar skill levels the big guy will win. Whether it be Royce, Rickson, Royler, Renzo, etc. they are the most elite BJJers in the world using at that time (early UFC) a relatively unkown martial art against fat, out of shape scrubs that probably didn’t have a clue what BJJ was. Seems to be pretty much the two extremes of skill level to me. I mean hell, even though Royce eventually won the fight, Kimo in all his fat, clueless, out of shape glory beat Royce up so bad he couldn’t continue to the final.
I have read a lot about the Gracies (yes you did spell it wrong), and like I said earlier the only way they could compete w/ such giant fighters was because their skill level is out of this world. There is a reason that UFC and Pride have weight classes. [/quote]
I apologies for attacking you, I was in a bad mood when I wrote that response (that?s no excuse just the fact).
I concur with the above post, nuff said!
