i think skill is the most important. ive seen a lot of people with a lot of heart and a high level of fitness who werent able to fight well at all. i also rate fitness lowest cause theres a lot of people who dont look in shape at all, but can fight very well.
im lucky to be blessed with an able body, i am in very good shape. and yet ive sparred a few guys who looked like utter slobs who were better than me in skill and experience. shit, ill never forget this one guy i used to spar with. big fat fucking slob. this guy seriously looked like jabba the hut, just a fat, ugly, smelly, hairy, quasimodo looking mother fucker. yet this guy could move much faster than i could, was able to take my balance, and had a long history of training in martial arts. im 5'10, 1 60 lbs, no body fat at all. i lift weights, work in construction, train in muay thai/boxing, train in jiu jitsu, and this fat, salt pork pussy repellent pot bellied pig was having his way with me when we sparred. as much as it sucked, i learned an important lesson about just how much looks can be deceiving. i guess he just loved eating tons of fast food or something despite all the training he did.

sounds like you have a bit of a thing for him
Yeah i know what you mean though, ive fought with guys like that where you just think HOWWWWWWWW????
do you not think its possible for someone to be overweight and fit, ive met some guy that were very over weight but could do 6 rounds muay thai HARD sparring and keep up with just about anyone. to me that is a VERY high level of fitness, and i dont even want to think what they would be like if they were thin.
If they werent really very fit under all that i think they would not keep up, would not punch hard or fast and would not give you a hard time in sparring.
but i think your arguement is very good.
