Wrestling Question
Question: I am having a debate with a friend about wrestling and whether age and
height can beat weight. So how would a 240 pound 4 foot ten inches
11 year old do against a very skinny 17 yr old boy who weighs 120
pounds at 6 feet. Assume maybe same skills for both and the fat kid is
strong for his age ? while the skinny guy is not a wimp. Can you also
explain best strategy for victory for the 11 yr old and for the 17 yr
old ?
I am thinking the fat kid's advantage would be to push and shove the
older boy off his feet and maybe be able to pin him by sheer mass. In
a body checking contest the skinny older boy would struggle to hold
his own against the much heavier boy. Also the fat kid would be hard
to move and damn hard to lift off the ground ? while the lighter 17
year old would be pretty easy to be lifted for say a bodyslam. All of
this would be pretty demoraliksing for the older boy. Being picked up
off the ground by a 5th grader alone would be pretty humiliating for a
guy in the 12th grade.
On the other hand the older boy would still probably be stronger and
certainly quicker with longer limbs. Also he would be more experienced
and maybe more intimadating to a much younger kid (although a 240
pound 5th grader may be not so stressed by a high school senior who
was half his weight despite being a foot taller). Also I think most
skinny 17 year old guys are self concious about being light and would
be very keen not to lose to a much younger fat kid.
