Not true at all.

That's just little people speak.
If that were true we wouldn't have weight classes.

The smaller they are...the more they look like a rag doll.

I would love it if we didn't have weight classes 😉

Did all your growing up from inspirational movies of the 1980's where the little guy wins?

That cliche couldn't be more wrong if it tried... 🙄

Yes.
That also means it's harder to make them fall. But yeah, it's a long way down there.

The old Micky Rooney movies, where him and the gang save the bakery by putting on a musical show?

Off topic
This is the arm wrestling thread. Go back to debates, Metal head just made some kind of conservative based comment.
Safe bet

Nah, anatomy is anatomy. Everyone has weak points and on big guys they're larger, easier to target. A kick to the knee or a stomp on the foot (or break a metatarsal with a tanbo) is gonna freaking hurt, I don't care who you are.

I'd rather be kicked by a little guy.

The idea that every big guy is some clumsy idiot comes from movies.
People who know what they are doing have an advantage.
Big guys who know what they are doing have a huge advantage.

That's not what the title says, it says Question for people 5 5 and shorter.
Don't see a whole lot of arm wrestling in that title.

Did you like that Stallone movie about arm wrestling, he wins a long haul truck?
