In all honesty, I think all the best athletes generally are considered tall. No one really cares about bodybuilding anymore, real sports are better. Just curious how tall the best players in the NBA are? how tall is Usain Bolt?
And you may be like yeah but they aren’t bodybuilders, so they aren’t successful. But I be like Usain drives a gold Porsche :/[/quote]
I dont think so . Both NBA Players and Usain Bolt does not look good. Zero Aesthatihcs.

Not if you’re a running back in the NFL. But you did say ‘generally’.
Wector do you judge athletes based on Aesthetics? Taller Sprinters generally = longer stride length = advantage. How tall is John Bones Jones, the UFC fighter? The answer is he is 6 '4. Maybe this will prove Wector wrong, that is, if he happens to think John Bones Jones is Aesthetically pleasing to the Eye.
LOL go to any random bar, anywhere in the world. Show them a picture of Dwayne Wade, then show a picture of some muscle freak and ask them who looks better. Also in person these bodybuilder guys get overlooked in a crowd cause they look like little trolls. No one cares about midgets man, its a sad world out there
No question taller is better in almost every aspect. almost.

No, you’re definitely right. a short, compact and powerful running back has an advantage i think. the low center of gravity and typically more agile, able to change directions faster, that is also a huge advantage. Its hard to tackle someone like that you need to get so low
It doesn’t make any difference in the end. What matter is that you are entertaining negative toughts about your height or anything else. I get that trying to be adequate and fitting is the main driving force in life for everyone (including me) but it is a lower way of being.
It is also the reason behind about every post in this forum.
Only thinking and only being motivated by fitting in and being «ok» makes you dull and uninteresting. Be yourself because no one gives a shit. You don’t have it, like 98% of the world and you NEVER WILL. NEVER. You only get old. Get over yourself.

He may not currently. But there is always room for change and you can’t tell the future.
Maybe this thread will be the first step in a long journey for wector…maybe[/quote]
No, he will only get bald, fat and even more ugly. It is always the same thing, people who don’t have it think they will have it someday. It is the biggest illusion in life.
I’ve only skimmed through this weird thread.
Let me say two things:
(sorry if they were already discussed)
Mike Tyson is among the best Heavyweights ever- maybe he is the best.
However he had a distinct style that works better if you’re small and husky.
Keep also in mind that this division is notoriously thin.
Large, talented athletes can make good money easier in the NFL while not getting their heads smashed by the world’s most powerful pugilists.
Today, a bodytype like the Klischkos’ or Lennox Lewis’ (both GOAT contenders) seems dominant - tall and powerful.
Tyson would be too small against them to stand a chance.
Tis true, very tall guys don’t have to do much to reap pussy and success.
And they don’t even realize that.
