Is it possible for a man who is 5 foot 5 to take on a 6 foot 9 man?

[Oliverlogan263]

Both men are strong and powerful

Yes

No way

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, most really tall men are sort of on the skinny side, so it's not hard to bring them down.. Plus, I've seen videos short guys taking down really tall guys pretty easily.. In fact there's a fighter who was 7'2" I believe and you would think he would have an unbeatable record but he was beaten by guys half his size..

[Oliverlogan263]

Let’s say it’s a dude who is tall, big boned with muscles then what

[Joshydavid25]

Well, if you know how to fight and maneuver, yeah you can still take him down.. It'll just be a challenge.. Unless he doesn't know how to fight.. Or if you're just exceptionally strong..

Physically yeah one bad thing about being tall and having long limbs is that while your reach is great and you can keep people at a distance if the opponent is able to close that distance and get in your pocket those long limbs because a big liability for you and make it hard to attack or defend.

It's all about ranges, know your long, medium and close ranges and what is available and should be used in each range.

[SleepingHazard]

You could take him on, but I can't guarantee you would win.

[Oliverlogan263]

I guarantee I will

Probably not , 5’5 is below average height for a man.

thanks for mho

[FunkyMonkee]

I've never had any try. Only back when I was still about 5' 8" or so.

[joehypo1]

Its all about chin, skill level and ability to endu pain it goes both ways jack dempsey is a prime example of what I mean

[Anonymous]

Only if the taller guy is lanky, clumsy and not very strong.

Or if the shorter guy is really skilled like Bruce Lee.

Look at the story of David vs. Goliath.

[molonski2]

Possible certainly.
