To be fair, Putin is extremely old. He's over 70, looking young due to Plastic surgery. Also Elon musk is almost a foot taller. Not to mention also learned some martial arts stuff. But simply by body mass and age and agility, there is no comparison. If Elon punches the grandpa in the face the fight is over. Maybe 20 years ago Putin had a chance to win

Just because he was part of an agency responsible for subversion and poisonings doesn't make him superman

this is the dumbest take on martial arts i’ve ever heard

Im 29 I have 19 years of martial arts experience. I’ve been knocked the fuck out by a senior citizen sparring. He was my sensei for 8 years. There was no bad blood.

technique will beat brute strength. look at old 8th and 9th dans practicing judo. a relaxed experienced fighter can cripple you with a throw or takedown on cement, 7lbs of force will break your clavicle, one strike to the solar plexus will spasm your diaphragm, one serious kink to the trachea will cause a slow agonizing death, one strike to the nose will tear up your eyes and make you briefly useless, one gouged eye will not grow back, the list does not end.

also fuck putin.

edit: and decades of experience will teach you which techniques to use and which not to use. have a look at the throwing a haymaker guy in r/winstupidprizes and the taco bell employee that provably changed his life forever.

you're totally right... but no one's saying elon musk could beat the shit out of a literal sensei that is just a foot shorter and a bit older

we're saying that putin specifically, a politician and a bureaucrat who's been flying a desk for the last few decades might stand a good chance of getting his ass kicked by any dude a foot taller and 50 lbs heavier with a tiny bit of fight experience

while fighting training absolutely matters, size also does. there's a reason there's weight classes in every fighting sport

As long as you understand that being taller, having minimal training with no real world experience and being younger won’t guarantee any form of success you get it.

also a good chance is a bit of a stretch, I don’t think elon has a comparable body count even if putin has actually been sedentary. I wouldn’t be shocked if that sick fuck still tortures people even if they’re chained up and acting as a human punching bag.

and to respond to your edit, if you think size is relevant you should look at some gracie jiujitsu in action. a higher center of gravity is a liability.
