Who provokes more fights?

Smokey_D · 12-13-2000, 12:09 PM

Since we have been discussing getting into real fights, i.e. being provoked, who do you think provokes more fights?

Small guys: Napoleon complex

Big guys: Egos to maintain

I myself am 6'3" 205 lbs. I have not been in a real fight, but have avoided about 2 or 3. All of these guys who provoked the fight were 5'9" 180 lbs and smaller. I have never been provoked by someone larger than me.

At 5'7", I'm shorter than most guys.....so for the most part, those that have thrown the gauntlet down have been taller than me.

At 200 pounds, however, I'm quite the fireplug......built very low to the ground (fireplug).....so those challenges haven't occurred very often.

I've never started a fight.....but my mouth (in my younger days) has provoked aggression from many a hulk.

Not sure..but the only guy who's ever picked a fight with me was a small(5'6 130) Prince Naseem lookalike...
Maybe it was him..I mean it was in London!...

Theres no 100% answer to your question..Idiots come in all shapes and sizes

Hard to generalize...but I'd say more
provokes and "what's up" garbage come from little guys who have everything in the world to prove.

Big guys usually don't, but the more dangerous fighters (or criminal element) comes from them.

But again, just generalizations.
