True or false "runners" are genetically superior to their "human tank" counterparts?

When you have a guy thats fast nimble and would get crushed if they went toe to toe with a tank of a man is always seen as weak genetically and in general.

But the reality I see is mobility is a strong asset, and lack of mobility is a huge weakness.

So sure if both were trapped inside a small restroom, you are probably better off being the tank of a man, but most of the time in most situations you have mobility and at least some room. Be it the street, ring, or even the local pub.

But when a tank of a man is fighting a runner everyone wrongly assumes the runner is weak because he is running, but I see the tank of a man as weak because he cant run. To me he is like a cripple, ie uber strong but highly vunerable at the same time.

what do you guys think?

Of course you get fast tanks like Tyson and Ichabushi but thats a whole other story.

This thread is pointless, which one do you classify Sugar Ray Leonard as?

Runner, and genetically superior. Despite being wrongly known as weak genetically and highly skilled. I say he has strong genetics but what we regognise as strong genetics he doesn't have. But he does have really good genes for fighting and hes not all skill.

Basically every asset that would help you win a toe to toe tough man brawl is what we assume wrongly is stronger. But its the intelligent runner who cant take a shot too well and doesnt have a brutal punch that is actually superior genetically and stronger genetically for fighting than an immobile tough man.

Just wanted to point out a common misconception.

What the actual fu.ck?

So Pacquiao must only be genetically superior in the Rios fight?

cmon now thats just silly,

are you a tank? Awww look at the "weak" big "strong" tank, hes all upset.


Canelo vs mayweather is a good example, toe to toe with no defense canelo wins but if you allow movement mayweather wins, since movement is always allowed mayweather is genetically superior for fighting than canelo.

I think he knows that and likes to pick immobile guys to fight and seem like he isnt so keen on fighting mobile guys like pacman.

So if you sucker punch both of them, then at that point, who is genetically stronger?

You got to cover all your basis, Allen.

Better genetics, Chavez Sr or Meldrick Taylor?

[dirty fingers]

Ichabushi.

true but for boxing since there are no or few sucka punches, its the runner who is superior genetically. Also given it wasnt a sucker punch or 5 on 1 fight, the runner probably has the advantage on the street esp since he can run off get weapons reingage or flee etc if he is losing etc he has more and better options than a slow hench guy whos only good upclose when you cant get away. Also if you sucka poke a strong chinned guy in the eye it doesnt make him weak genetically its just you used an underhand but effective tactic.
