    The ridiculous question posed was can a bigger, untrained man beat Katie Taylor. Untrained being key here.

    Untrained big man..

    Still can win...

    All he had to do, is use his brain. Relax, quickly realise that Katie hits very lightly, and can’t hurt him..Bide his time, and he absolutely could land a heavy punch to KO Taylor..

    This is not rocket science. It’s one split second action...

    If I were in his corner this is the advice I give him: Relax, bide your time, walk her down and fire from time to time..

    Unless you want to say that untrained means a man that can’t even hold his hands up, and who collapses from exhaustion after a minute or so?

    Even untrained men can deliver punches. They may not look as pretty as trained men, but they can still throw them. I have seen it many times..

    I thought we were going to have a mature and nuanced debate on King Kong vs Godzilla.

    this elongated discussion on man vs woman, boxing vs mma, small trained guy vs big untrained guy is like top trumps without the stat numbers to settle the arguments.

    why prolong the circular pointless spam on this?

    What is the actual question here? Would Katie Taylor beat a 15 stone man in a boxing match who was fit? Not a ****ing hope.

    McGregor would struggle against a 15 stone man FFS.

    I think people underestimate size.

    Would Katie Taylor beat 3 2-foot tall dwarves who weighed 5 stone each if they stood on each others' shoulders and wore a big trenchcoat so as to appear to be a single person?


    I don't think that they would. Their arms would be too short.

    What if they carried sticks with boxing gloves tied onto them?

    I see that you've thought this through before! :pac:


    They probably would do that. Crafty little divils so they are.

    Their shortness in height is offset by their cunning.

    You absolutely would Begby,. Right after glassing him and biting off his nose. You're not a man to be messed with.

    All theyd have to do is fall on her. At 6ft tall and 15 stone she wouldn't be getting up.

    But the poor fella on the top is falling from double his own height. That would be a bit like a 6 foot fella falling from 12 foot.


    From a physics point of view, it wouldn't make any difference what his own height was - it would only matter his distance from the ground and the acceleration due to gravity. But from a medical point of view, perhaps his body wouldn't be able to take the impact as well as a normal sized person falling from 4 foot.


    I think that the only way to know for sure is to actually set it up. Does anyone have Barry Hearn or Brian Peters' number? I'd say it'd do a fair PPV.


    Obviously the requirement for 3 2-foot 5-stone midgets could be somewhat flexible. Once their collective height adds up to 6-foot and their weight to 15 stone and all qualify as midgets or dwarves.

    What if the midget on the bottom had a white collar, how could he keep it clean?

    I love dipping in and out of the various Conor McGregor threads as they usually descend into chaos after 9 or 10 pages, but this one has been brought to a whole new level :)

    It is a serious dinger, may it never end.

    I actually never factored that into my equations. Complete oversight on my part.
    Do you mean like a midget priest?
    I suppose that that would be an ecumenical matter.

    This got me wondering how different piggy back dwarf teams would differ based on the team make up (assuming stick length was the same).

    It seems the old rule "a good big one always beats a good small one" applies to midget boxing too.




    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAuVXIrggvE

    Could the midgets break cover and fight individually (transformer style) ? Would knee shots be legal ? So many questions.

    Based on this I think a piggyback team midget fighting league might be very entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,337 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Obviously the winners of Taylor/3-midgets and McGregor/Tyson will meet in an ultimate decider.

    But I think that maybe we should take these midget-boxing ideas off line to PM.

    Not because they are irrelevant but because I think we are on to something big and we don't want people stealing our ideas before we get everything registered and set up.

    I think the mods want this thread to turn into a mess just so they can close it.

    He is. Dwarf fight teams are the hottest intellectual property in combat sports at the moment.

    Maybe if McGregor stays out of jail long enough to have a rematch with Khabib they can have a mini-me midget version pre-match bout

    Someone has already gone to the trouble of fashioning what a Conor McMidget might look like

    Was it yourself by any chance, you seem a bit obsessed with his height.

    McGregor himself is 1.73m - just under 5 foot 7 - it's manlet size.

    I've seen him out in Dublin - he's a small guy.

    I would actually attribute this to some of his issues - small man syndrome.

    About him being a total short-arse - what's your opinion on that making him have an aggressive chip on his shoulder?

    it wasn't no - knock yourself out here ->

    he is a short-arse though. I've seen him in the flesh and he is. no getting around it.

    as I said I believe that it's part of his make-up - small man syndrome angry factor - mma fighter or not.

    Think he’s pretty much average height for an Irish man.

    5' 10 is the average as far as I know. I would describe him as short, personally.

    Google says 5’ 7 for an Irish person, my mistake.

    Yes, The average Irishman is 178.92cm (5 feet 10.44 inches) tall.

    Well according to here

    https://www.insider.com/tallest-people-world-countries-ranked-2019-6#22-ireland-17202cm-5-feet-772-inches-4

    So that would make him over 2 inches below average male height in Ireland if he's 1.73m / 5 feet 8 inches as quoted

    That's average person, taking into account both male and female.
