I'm a MIG welder by trade and some of my colleagues kind of have that same sort of strength you described as farm strength. Maybe not to the same extent as those doing manual farm work but some of these guys are a lot stronger than they look. A while back one of the new guys at my place who was a regular gymgoer and had even used steroids in the past but as an inexperienced welder he required assistance to lift a two man jig. Some of the more experienced guys at my place who've been doing the job for years have never even set foot in a gym or even lifted weights yet are able to lift two man jigs by themselves completely unaided without any problems. Another time I'd been given a misshapen bracket for one of the parts I was working on. I asked my manager what to do with it. He told me to manipulate it. I was new and inexperienced at the time and didn't quite know how to go about it (this is a small workshop that normally only does welding, no fabrication). He placed the bracket in a vice, slid a piece of box section over it and bent it into the correct shape using brute force. Bear in mind these brackets are not hollow they're made from solid steel bar. I've also heard of other tradesmen being similarly strong particularly boiler fitters, brick layers and masons have a reputation for being extremely strong even in old age.

I gotta say the average man has definitely gotten stronger in a fight over time. My logic is this: We actually have people that train to fight in a lot of styles these days, and I believe it's a LOT more common than it was in the 1950's. We have BJJ, muay thai, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing MMA, among of a host of other fighting styles. I mean it's not uncommon for me to talk to guys at the gym I work at who do BJJ or some type of of martial art. We simply didn't have those things in the 1950's, aside from wrestling, boxing, and maybe some Judo. Hell, I box and do MMA, and the only reason I do those things at all, is because of how common it is in society, how often it's advertised and shown on television, and how readily accessible training facilities are. I remember 20 years ago if I ended up fighting some guy in a bar, he was just some drunk guy at a bar. I feel like these days if I fought some guy at a bar, I wouldn't be surprised if he's trained in boxing, MMA, or BJJ. On top of that, I don't think we had NEARLY the amount of people who were physically fit and lifted weights in the 1950's. Now to counter that statement we also didn't have nearly the amount of overweight out of shape people either. But regardless, usually if you're bigger, you're going to be stronger than if you would be if you were smaller. You couple that with the larger bodied, stronger, possibly more skilled fighters of today, and you are looking at the average man winning fights more often than not against the average man in the 1950's.

That's an interesting theory regarding the country vs city boys, but in my experience it doesn't bear out. Explanation: I grew up in the suburbs, and then halfway through High School my parents moved us to a "transitional area" where the new suburbs were being built in a traditionally country area. There was a huge rivalry between the guys who grew up there farming and the transplants from the city. I witnessed a lot of fights in the two years I was there. It was about even between the city boys and the country boys. No background had a clear advantage. Farm strength is real - I used to discuss with the people I did strength training with. The whole "city street tough" is real as well, though. They could both fight.

Are boxers that would be middleweight in mma just screwed and forced to fight at a suboptimal weight class?

Weight means less the heavier you are, because it's a smaller percent increase. Combine with a lack of grappling and there isn't as big a difference as there is in MMA, and then consider that the weight classes were made when people were lighter.

@RamseyDewey3 ай бұрын
Because sugar is being consumed in far greater quantities than fat. Using your example: a single serving of vanilla ice cream contains about 7 grams of fat and about 30 grams of sugar. But that’s not even the worst perpetrator. Most obese people are obese from drinking a consistent stream of pure sugar water. It’s not from fried chicken (a single serving of which has about 14 grams of fat, 40 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbohydrates (zero sugars).

This is because if the goal is to defend yourself from harm and death, any sport, when done intensively enough, is very effective against heart problems and excess weight. And those are way more dangerous and common than street violence. Ofc. the actual martial arts are way more effective in a fight, but tbh that is not where most people's priorities should be.

I guess I find it especially perplexing when martial artists call out idiotic takes from BJJ or boxing purists all the time, but seem to give Muay Thai purists more of a "moron pass" for some reason.

I don't know, I thought average was 5 foot 9 160. Wouldn't that put you at light weight? Cause you're not gonna fight 10 pounds heavier. You're just gonna cut the 5 pounds. Or even 145 featherweight.

No way Coach, the 147lb nerd from the 50's had to have much thicker skin and deal with corporal punishment at home and at school. He'd clown stomp a 200lb zoomer who's worst punishment was being put in front of a screen.

I think a lot about soil depletion, and all that wasted land that could be used for cattle... We would all be much healthier if we ate more grass fed animals instead of artificial food and plants! The food industry is evil for sure!

Hey, I grew up in the 2000s. I wasn't fat but did get squashed by someone who was fat 😅🤣😂. I never understood why in American films, the fat kids get picked on. In my school, fat kids ran the school yard😂 they weren't athletic or fit, but they can squash 😂

The fat dude got it if they are equally skilled, but i wouldnt count the skinny guy out that simple. If the skinny guy becomes more aggressive and mentally breaks the fat dude up to the point that he gives up. Ive seen it plenty of times in Panama, short guys become vicious like chihuahuas. In fact one of our best boxers, Roberto Duran was known to take fights against bigger opponents and be the bully.

Neither your nor I know where the viewer is from. I’m a British citizen. I spent my childhood and early adult life in the USA. I have lived half my life in other countries. Only 4% of the world’s population is American. I haven’t lived in the USA for a very long time. American averages are not the first thing to come to mind mid conversation.

Bob Fitzsimmons? Is that the boxer you’re thinking of? BTW, the average U.S. male is 200 (199.7) lbs and females are 171 (170.8)! Crazy, huh? UPDATE: I don’t know if these “average” weights are mean, median, or modal averages and can’t find the info that would shine more light, but I’m assuming these are means and therefore can be “weighted” (see what I did there?) or skewed towards higher weight because there are so many very obese folks in the U.S. Generally speaking though, most of us old timers are observing that Americans are quite heavier than they were just 50 years ago. Just look at old photos and you’ll see. Too much sugar, corn syrup, and empty calories in the diet these days, fewer jobs requiring manual labor, and generally fewer people living active lives - IOW people eat lots of garbage and sit around way too much.

Today has more soil depletion and more endocrine disruptors. That gives the edge to old school men. Until American football and other sports got bigger during the Cold War, there used to be boxing gyms on every corner in the US. Those American men really knew how to fight. However, these days jujitsu and mma are getting more common, even though they're so far nowhere nearly as big as boxing used to be a century ago. Those skills are more important than boxing by itself, but the average boxer back then was way more physically fit than today, even though we have better knowledge about nutrition and training. Size only matters a lot up to a point. A 50 weight difference against a 100 lb opponent isn't the same as a 50 lb weight difference against a 200 lb opponent. The latter match up is a lot closer because a 250 lb fighter will burn out faster trying to keep up with the 200 lb fighter. A smaller guy with strong legs has a lower center of gravity, too. So size can basically be compensated for as long as the smaller guy isn't *too much* smaller.
