This thread is always hilarious. People read too many Bruce Lee myths and start actually believing fighting is magic. It's just another sport. A very physical one. Girls suck at those.

Most concede there are over a thousand guys in Louisiana better than the best woman in the world in basketball. Yet in fighting, somehow a woman MASSIVELY restricted by a weight class is going to fare better?

It's akin to asking if the best woman in the world under 5'10 would be a better center. There are plenty of 6'3+ decent basketball players who can stumble upon a forum.

But I'm hardly surprised that a board that thinks a jockey-sized actor like Bruce Lee would beat up Mike Tyson attributes super-human ability to a girl.

I don't think this is a necessarily a fair comparison due to the relative popularity of the sports.

Most people grew up playing basketball, whether on the playground, in physical education class, on a sanctioned team, at a rec center, etc. In other words, the requisite years of training and skill development are there to compete.

That is likely not the case with fighting. Most people haven't had much exposure to that--if any at all; this would make the average person--male or female--unprepared to compete against a person with much training.

This. All of this. Start a thread on "could a 6'2" athletic male beat a 5'7" WNBA player with a little basketball training. And everyone will say yes because he will be so much bigger and more physical. But then in fighting, the sport that is most physical and being a male and bigger is the biggest advantage, all of a sudden it doesn't matter because MMA is some deep rough dark arts magic that only those trained by Lord Voldermort can compete in
