Size is Relative

[GatorJ]

This is really silly. Lesnar is 265 pounds and Jones is 205 pounds. Lesnar will crush him.

That being said, that got me thinking – how much size is just relative. How we look at celebrities and think that they are much bigger than what they actually are. For instance, Arnold Schwarzenegger is listed as 6'2 – when in reality he's probably about 5'10.

The perfect picture for that of course being the Yao Ming, Shaq, Kevin Heart picture.

Here's a link that just compares several people who we thought were freaks (the Rock, Arnold, Wahlberg) to athletes. Of course it's difficult to gauge the size when you just see athletes playing with other athletes.



Here's a link that compares how large Shaq is compared to virtually everyone else. (Except of course Yao Ming)

Shaq makes Christie look slim!

Fight a guy who takes steroids and outweighs you by at least 60 pounds? Bold strategy, Cotton.

A friend who met Arnold says he is about 6 ' 1

Click that link. You won't think so after that. From what I read online they say he's truly about 5'10.

I looked twice and never saw Arnold in that link. Also Arnold is an old man now and very well could have lost an inch or so of height.

The first link. Not the second one. Here's the picture:

Jones would wins that fight 99/100 times. Brock wouldn't be able to get him down. Brock wasn't able to get Cain down and Jones has better wrestling than him. And Cain only walks around at around 240 Jones would probably come in around 230. Jones would probably stop him in the 2nd or 3rd with body shots like Overeem did

 

[Detroitgator]

I was pleasantly stunned by how gracious Jones was post fight... and Cormier had NO idea he was knocked out

You think Jones would be 230 pounds for this fight? That would be a lot of weight he would have to put on.

For some reason the first picture isn't working on the app. I do see the second pic though and those guys do make him look smaller.

Just Google Arnold and Wilt Chamberlain. Then look at the images.

100% agree, Jones would massacre him. Jones trying to land a huge payday with Lesnar probably cause he's about out of money. lol

He probably weighed around 220 last night and he walks around 225 so it wouldn't be nothing to gain 5 pounds. I think he could beat Brock at 215. Brock hates getting hit and can only wrestle, and I don't think he could get Jones down

I tend to agree with you. I don't think Brock could match Jones' striking ability and Brock isn't known for having the strongest chin. I think Jones would KO him fairly easily.

I think it would go down just like Brock vs Overeem went. Jones would use his takedown defense to keep it standing and at some point Jones would get the stoppage by body shots to the liver

He couldn't get him to the ground? That's what he does for a living. You all are smoking crack. And 220 last night? You think he put on 15-20 pounds in 2 days?

As for me, I can never get enough of watching Brock Lesnar getting his ass kicked.
