    Okay, then.

    So, for starters that explains why he's so skinny. And that would be his actual form - normal, real-world people can't simply 'flex' and get bigger. Certainly normal people can't just 'flex' and put on 400 lbs, so whether the manga presents it as a superpower or not, it's not 'pure human ability'.

    Number two, regardless of his mass, if his respiratory system is majorly screwed up then he's not a fighter any more as a real world human. Might be able to throw a few strikes or whatever, but with a 'mostly destroyed' respiratory system he gasses out PDQ and that's that.

    So given all of the above, probably better not to include him because as a real world fighter, he's a 7'3" 160 lbs guy who can't breathe properly.

    I similarly back Kenshiro.

    Goku does have far and away the most experience, given that he's what... in his 50s in the current manga and has been fighting and training near obsessively since he was like 12.

    But he's not big enough to hang with someone of Ken's size and skill.

    The sumo guys sometimes come in around these weights. Lots of fat - they can move (somewhat). They do gas out pretty quickly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...sumo_wrestlers

    Good info and valid point.

    All-Might is kind of out for this anyway, though, due to the issues noted above.

    NHK is running the current tournament now, if you want to watch these behemoths due their thing. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/

    They slap each other with open hands that probably would knock out most folks.

    All Might isn't actually built like a sumo I think, not sure if that would make a difference there with weight though.

    Bodybuilder. And that DOES make a difference. While Goku and the other two are certainly jacked in their own ways, their muscles aren't so massive they alter their whole movements (DBZ ironically had an entire episode in the Cell Arc about that). Broly is the exception to that.

    Having now discovered that the official weight for Goku is an absolutely silly 137 lbs, I revise my estimation and put him down with the group that gets whaled on.

    It gets even worse when I discover (according to the other thread) that he's 5'9".

    He's massively underweight.

    Maybe in addition to being part monkey, Sayians are also part bird. Meaning, He got Hollow Bones. (smile)

    5 feet actually seems a little tall for him.
