As a rule (although there are exceptions) I believe that the tall skinny boy would never stand a chance against the short fat boy (or even a short fat girl for that matter). He is simply too skinny despite being very tall. When I was a boy, I was tall (for my age) and I was as skinny as a rail. There was a short fat boy who I lost to whenever I got into a fight with him. We shared a bunk bed. He was on the top bed and I was on the bottom bed. He far outweighed me even though I was several inches taller than he was. I was skinny and weak while he was big and fat and awfully strong!!! I was 4-foot-10 and 68 lbs while he was 4-foot-5 and 120 lbs. One day, I was still asleep when he got down from his upper bed. He took me by surprise!!! He grabbed me and then he pulled me out of bed and then he dragged me all the way out into the hallway (WITH ONE HAND!!!) and then he started beating the living crap out of me. I was not strong enough to resist him. I lost the fight yet again. I had to give up. When we got back on our feet, I felt humiliated looking down at him. Chances are: The 4 foot 10, 240-lb 11-year-old boy is far stronger than the 6 foot, 120-lb 17-year-old boy. I would have to say that the 17-year-old boy better be prepared for a humiliating defeat at the hands of the much shorter, much larger, much stronger boy. I could be wrong but it's most likely that I am NOT wrong!!!
