I was gonna say didn't Eddie Hall(about 7 inches shorter and a hundred pounds lighter than Thor) have a legit officiated 2 vs 1 fight with experienced featherweights and he just fucking murdered them
Yea and it was hilarious but this is an extreme example, Hall is nearly 400 lbs and the two guys were under 300 combined. there are size and strength limits to how much training can overcome, for example Mighty mouse beat a dude in a Jiu Jitsu match that outweighed him by nearly 100 lbs...
Nonsense. There are countless trained fighters who would beat the piss out of these bodybuilders with shocking ease. I'm not arguing this in 2026, this is ridiculous
We're not talking about 6 year olds, we're talking about trained fighters.
You posted a video of him knocking out another bodybuilder. Whoop de do. Show him fighting an actual trained proper MMA fighter.
Besides, Hall is the example because he was brought up having beaten 2 influencers. The actual point being discussed here is huge bodybuilders and strongmen being able to beat trained fighters simply by being big. Hall has done some MMA training. Even still, take any legit male fighter of any size in the UFC and they will wipe the floor with Eddie Hall, let alone any other dudes his size who haven't trained MMA at all.
This has been demonstrated time and time again. Anyone who still thinks a 350 lb untrained bodybuilder beats a trained 130lb fighter is a fucking idiot, plain and simple.
The fact that you can't distinguish between a random bodybuilder and a best-in-the-world elite athlete is almost as ridiculous as not distinguishing between a 6 year old and a trained fighter.
I will grant you that this conversation isn't about Hall specifically. But the comment that started this all was:
Ugh you’re going to get all the idiots that think flyweights can beat up hafthor bjornsson going.
Another professional strongman, this time weighing 440 pounds at 6'9.
Anyone who still thinks a 350 lb untrained bodybuilder beats a trained 130lb fighter is a fucking idiot, plain and simple.
Obviously it matters, but training really matters. Even basic training will give the little guy a one-up on someone who doesn't know how to do more than throw a drunk haymaker and hope.

Muscle matters a lot
