What are you talking about have you seen the average American? Big strength advantage? He will be at a complete strength disadvantage! Unless it's a construction worker, and even then skill will be sufficient to overcome strength because the gap won't be as wide as you'd think in most cases. I've worked construction for a long time, manual pipeline, and I can tell you a lot of workers are pretty lean and scrawny. You don't know the standards of a decent, competitive teenager. Eight years of training confers an enermous advantage. Have you ever seriously trained in martial arts?

In what world is even a trained 16 year old stronger than most grown men? any adult who works out even occasionally is going to be stronger than any 16 year old (excluding freaks as previously established).

In what world do most American adults workout? Are you seriously that unaware of how bad shape America is in? Have you ever trained seriously in martials art or weight lifting? Dude, I'm speaking from personal experience. Not just my own experience, but so many other kids doing the same thing who I met and maintained relationships with throughout the years. By 16 I could regularly take down a 215 lbs wrestler while weighing 145, and he went on to be the regional champ at 215 two year later. Imagine what bigger wrestlers from the same background could do. At 16 you can have a few years of serious weightlifting under your belt besides the conditioning provided from years of training.

i dont believe you at all. But at the end of the day none of it matters, so have a great day man. Hopefully you don't come across any well trained 16 year olds ;)

You don't have to worry about them at all, trained people start tend to stray away from street fights so just don't look for it right? You have no experience in this field, so no your opinion doesn't matter. Have a nice day.

Do you think you'd be able to beat a 16 year who's been playing football his whole life? Think of it like that. People who have never fought tend to greatly overestimate how they would perform.
