Martin Sebastian on Quora.com in response to the question "Who would win a fight? A taller guy, or a shorter guy who has around the same weight as the taller guy?"
"If they're equally untrained, usually shorter guy come on top. Tall people have reach advantage. They technically can control the distance and smack their poor shorter foes into pulp before they could get into their punching range. The problem is, untrained people couldn't possible to pull that off efficienly because it takes fast sharp long punches and decent skill on footwork. In other word, you need serious training to be able to do that. On the other hand, anybody can go berserk and jump on you like a rabid dog. it takes no training only some balls. And the matter of fact, that is how people usually fight, they just get in there and throw the hardest punches they have, the cholo helicopter haymakers or whatever you call it. Short people pack more raw power and explosiveness due to their bulky body type. They're greatly benefited in that kind of fight."
