The difference in punching power between most MMA fighters and boxing champions is vast. Boxers have a more compact and precise punch. 1988 Tyson with 4 oz gloves would not even need a head punch. He would be breaking ribs right and left. He could probably almost ko someone even while on his back. Lesnar showed extreme power can still trump MMA skills

tall fighters DO have an advantage in standup fighting. but in mma height doesnt' matter that much as in boxing oder kickboxing, because on the ground and in the infight, the shorter guy has an advantage.
weight is more important, and i think it is VERY hard (nearly impossible) for an average guy (5'10 to 6') to get to 265 lbs and still be lean. i'm 6'4 220lbs and there are quite a few guys 5'11 who are my weight.
i do some boxing, and my opinion is that these guys hit harder than a 6'4 guy of the same weight simply because they have more muscle mass.
so height in boxing is important, but weight and reach are more important.
and for mma, most is about technique. look for fedor, wanderlei silva and shogun. all of them are under 6 feet, fedor maybe 6' but not taller.

Reach in an advantage in highly professional fights (I'm talking MMA, not boxing/kickboxing). Another advantage is natural weight (not fat or muscle that hinder movement) which gives stronger hitting power and easier ground game and also much better resistance, especially in the bones. In their recent fight, Fedor broke his hand on Sylvia's jaw.

James says on 29/Sep/08
Sometimes I guess shorter fighers can have the advantage, like hitting taller guy in the groin area or the legs. But taller guys have more reach advantage like being able to punch a shorter guy in the face more easier.

"6'3 to 6'5 seems to be the perfect pro-fighter's height nowadays"

Being tall usually means youll be more lanky then shorter fighters, its easier to pack on muscle when your shorter. And bigger guys are also easier targets.

Namely says on 24/Sep/08
Fedor is inhuman, but if you think Silva would last more than 60 secs against a prime Tyson you have never been in a fight. Remember that MMA's gloves offer almost no protection. A boxer like Tyson should not be allowed in the MMA. He is too dangerous. Only fat*sses like Botha and Mercer should be allowed.
Great Khali and Big Show are circus material. They don't stand a chance in professional fighting. 6'3 to 6'5 seems to be the perfect pro-fighter's height nowadays (that'll surely grow in the next decades).

Captain Spaulding says on 23/Sep/08
James viper was probably kidding, tho it is kinda true what he said. 80's mikey could knock out most people.

James says on 22/Sep/08
Back to Vipers comment though about Mike Tyson being able to knock anyone in the planet. Viper maybe Mike Tyson could have knocked out any boxer on the planet in his prime but certainly not any human being, you don't know who is out there and you are always going to get somebody bigger and stronger than you, and that goes for Mike Tyson as well.

Captain Spaulding says on 21/Sep/08
Now that danimal said that thats his morning height I guess that makes ben at least 6'4".

Clay says on 20/Sep/08
It depends really. In an MMA fight Anderson Silva or Fedor Emelianko would handle prime Tyson with ease. In a stricktly kick-boxing match I think An early 20's Tyson would whoop anybody on the planet, ever.

JT says on 19/Sep/08
Viper says on 18/Sep/08
An 80s Mike Tyson would knock out anybody on this earth right now.

Anybody right now, probably yes. I wouldn't be surprised if Lennox Lewis or even Ali would have KO'ed a prime Tyson, though a KO from Tyson would not have been shocking either. Tyson had trouble with tall fighters with a quick jab and reach advantage.

James says on 19/Sep/08
Except for the Great Khali and the Big Show Viper.

Viper says on 18/Sep/08

Prime Tyson would KTFO a mediocre run-of-the mill MMA fighter like this guy.

So what are you saying Danimal, Randy Couture is 5'10.5/5'11? St.Pierre looks NEVER looks under 5'10'' maybe you had a one too many pints that night?

Guate30 says on 16/Sep/08
Holy crap, look at the size of Rothwell's fist! Daaaaammmmn!

Dave says on 16/Sep/08
btw, i dont think hes a 6'5, even if both men were totally straight id say 6'4 MAX for ben,

James says on 16/Sep/08
I agree JT, Lennox Lewis doesn't really have the speed or killer instinct that Mike Tyson did.

Roger says on 16/Sep/08
Danimal, thanks for the St Pierre info. It's just what I imagined - 5'9'' for Georges.

JT says on 16/Sep/08
James says on 15/Sep/08
I'd like to see this guy fight Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis. Esspecially a prime Mike Tyson...

I'd put money on a prime Tyson knocking out 95% of these guys in a matter of minutes (after they first soil themselves). If they can somehow get him down to the ground and apply submission holds, etc., then it's a different story. Lewis did not have Tyson's aggression but most people don't realize how quick these boxers can throw punches. Lewis's 84 inch reach doesn't hurt either.

Clay says on 15/Sep/08
Thats stunning Danimal so Randy Couture is under 6'0? Couture had like 1.5/2 inches on St.Pierre in that picture.

Dave: yeah Singh's hands are gigantic its freakish.

James says on 15/Sep/08
Its hard to judge when he's not standing up fully straight, he's loosing like 2 inches, and Danimal is loosing like half an inch because he is not standing straight either.

A.D what do you mean my post doesn't make sense?

Ben has never fought in UFC, he has fought in IFL and smaller organizations and chuck and ken are not in his weight class, Many MMA fighter can beat him in heavyweight devision. He just lost a fight with Arlovski in Affliction promotion.

Boxing Fighter says on 15/Sep/08
Bloody hell! Look at the size of this monster's hand! I really wouldn't like to fight with him.
But he does not look that tall near to Danimal. I think 6ft4 or even 6ft3.5 (judging by that photo of course).

A.D. says on 15/Sep/08
James,

Everything in that post is wrong lol

James says on 15/Sep/08
I'd like to see this guy fight Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis. Esspecially a prime Mike Tyson. No doubt though Ben is a very good UFC fighter at his size and weight no one would mess with him, except maybe Chuck Liddel or Ken Shamrock?

Dave says on 15/Sep/08
dalip singhs hand is FAAAAAR bigger than ben rothwells to be totally honest, all you need to do is compare it to 6'7+ kane's hand..... and youll see just how big it is ;)..... when i met dalip, (im 6'1 flat) his hand engulfed mine totally and completley and i can honestly say, even looking at this pic, that dalips would probably engulf bens too!

but we all know ben would absolutley kick his ass, LOL.... but thats not the point.

Danimal says on 15/Sep/08
Alex, I woke up and 20 minutes later I was at the expo taking pics with these guys, so YEAH, it was my full morning height with him and Frank Trigg.

Roger, I just had a beer with Georges St. Pierre last night here in Montreal at the XMMA competition. I was a bit taller than him. No picture this time. It was TOO dark and he wasn't in the mood. Cool guy though. Will meet him again in Chicago pretty soon, as well as Matt Cera.

Anonymous3 says on 14/Sep/08
to be honest, I would be very surprised if anyone could take a direct punch from this 6ft5 man and still be able to tell the tale, that is if that person's mouth and face are still intact...his fists seem to be about the size of a child's head!

Anonymous says on 14/Sep/08
James,

with Ben you'd be KOed and very sore the next day

Davidoff says on 14/Sep/08
derek what kind of lame comment was that? Why would he be humbled by him? Stop being a suck up.

James says on 14/Sep/08
It would be interesting to see the difference if Ben actually stood up fully straight. Infact neither Danimal or Ben are full errect in posture.

JT says on 14/Sep/08
Clay says on 13/Sep/08
I wonder if this guy's hands are almost as big as Paul Wight's or Dalip Singh's.

Maybe his fist is just closer to the camera:) Click Here Click Here

Alex says on 14/Sep/08
Danimal, was this picture take almost right out of bed or something for you to be 5'9.75?

Clay says on 13/Sep/08

Captain Spaulding says on 13/Sep/08
Looks an inch or 2 too short to be 6'5"

James says on 13/Sep/08
I wonder how it would feel to be punced by a big 6ft4-6ft5 guy like Ben? Esspeciallly looking at the size of his fist.

Viper says on 13/Sep/08
Hes wide. And thats the biggest fist Ive ever seen.

derek d says on 12/Sep/08
Anonymous3: Thank you lol.... I still can't believe people are even saying 6'1.... Plus Danimal met him I think he would know how tall he is.... 6'4.5 - 6'5 it is.

Alex says on 12/Sep/08
Danimal, so this picture was taken early in the morning?

James says on 12/Sep/08
actually i am thinking this guy could be 6ft4.5.

Roger says on 12/Sep/08
Danimal, great photo. Will we get you with Georges St. Pierre? I love this guy, have him at 5'9'' though.

Derek says on 12/Sep/08
Danimal- You're certainly not a small guy by any means, but Ben had to have humbled you at least a little bit.

Danimal says on 12/Sep/08
Guys, I'm not 6'1", or even 5'11". I have never been taller than 5'10" and last time I was a full 5'10" was in 2005 (27 years old). Today I am 5'9 3/4". YUP, I have lost 1/4" so far in my life and I am 30 going on 31 years old (next month). SO, what you are looking at in the above pic is me at 5'9 3/4" JUST measured by my friend and weighing in at around 200 pounds, being dwarfed by Ben Rothwell.

James says on 11/Sep/08
Umar you serious? Ben looks a minimum of 6ft3 in the pic NOT 6ft1.5.

Anonymous3 says on 11/Sep/08
SOMEONE SAID: Infact after looking at the pic mor he could even be 6ft3

SOMEONE ELSE SAID: How is he only 6'3 when he is about 6'3 while slouching next to 5'9.5 Danimal and let alone behind him?? LOL come on people ever hear of a word called perspective? LOL. wow.... clearly 6'5.

I SAY: I do think he is more than 6ft3, closer to 6ft5 or on the mark. He is clearly behind Danimal which messes up the perspectives, how the hell can he be less than 6feet or even 5feet11????? LOOK AT HOW ****in MASSIVE HE IS BEHIND! NOT BESIDE, BEHIND DANIMAL! jeez people read the comments before you make such crazy assumptions

Danimal says on 11/Sep/08
He is 6'5" and 265 pounds. His fists were larger than my head as you can see. Again, I was JUST measured at 5'9 3/4" only moments before meeting Ben and Frank Trigg. Ben could be 6'4 and change, but NO WAY shorter than that. He was HUGE next to my 200 pound frame.

Umar says on 11/Sep/08
I mentioned somewhere else that many people put 5"11-type heights like 6"5. Is this mental class?
This guy, by the way he's standing, is totally 5"11, but if he was standing straight, he would be no more than 6"1.5.
6"1 MAX, thought I think he's even smaller.

James says on 11/Sep/08
I was thinking Danimal looked more 5ft11 if Ben actually is 6ft5, which I aint sure he is?F

Anonymous says on 11/Sep/08
Danimal looks 6ft1 next to Ben

James says on 11/Sep/08
Yeah danimal doesn't look that short next to him really

Alex says on 11/Sep/08
Danimal, I know your average height for the day is about 5'9.5 but how tall were you in this picture? Was it in the morning, afternoon, or evnening?

ronyo98 says on 11/Sep/08
This is how a 176cm(5'9.25)guy looks beside a 191cm(6'3.25) Click Here
My legs are 116.5cm or 46"(measured from the floor to the navel) and 23.5cm head (9.25")

Sonya says on 10/Sep/08
5'9.5" that's also my height Danimal.

Alex says on 10/Sep/08
I wouldn't get a 6'5 impression by looking at this picture. But Danimal is closer to the camera but leaning so I could see 6'4ish if they were at the same level.

Danimal says on 10/Sep/08
I was 5'9 3/4" barefoot in this pic Rob. I was measured only a few minutes before having taken the pic. Can you change it please?

Anonymous says on 10/Sep/08
looks 6ft2

Mattiew_- says on 10/Sep/08
Nice pic Dan

Big Ben is a kind person .

Clay says on 10/Sep/08
Dan holds his own here size wise. (H)

Derek says on 10/Sep/08
Danimal is closer to the camera and has better posture. Put these guys side by side and there's 7 inches bare minimum.

Mamun says on 10/Sep/08
Nice picture DAN ! That fist is really scaring me ! was he a very powerful
Man ?

Regards

Mamun

James says on 10/Sep/08
Infact after looking at the pic mor he could even be 6ft3

James says on 10/Sep/08
No 6ft4 looks more accurate

ronyo98 says on 10/Sep/08
He is 6'5 (195-196cm can't be sure on that 1cm). Danimal is leaning bakcward and is closer to the camera, while Ben is in the back and leaning forward.If they would stand side by side Danimal would be up to Ben's mouth or even litlle below. and that's about 7.5"

random man says on 10/Sep/08
he doesnt look 6"5 . . . at all . . .

Yaspaa says on 10/Sep/08
Thats some fist.
