IME (and a few others) those who rely wholly on strength lose against experienced opponents (speaking as a security guard who has had to take opponents down). Granted, all things being equal those with the size/strength have the edge, but this does not guarantee a win. Watch pro fighters train. They don't measure their training on the amount of weight they can bench/lift, they measure by the amount of damage they can do (or points they can earn, for the sport games). Why else would boxers aim for head/jaw shots as well as kindey/ other damaging body shots?If strength were all important, weight lifters would would also be faster. Boxers (or any other professional fighter, including bouncers/coolers) would not train to improve their speed/reaction times. Hence, there must be a distinction between strength, speed, and power.BTW, there is a reason security and police are instucted never to use a baton (club, and less than 3 lbs) on the head or back, and your smaller police can still kill with one.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Shutting up now...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
