Actually, it is about gym strength, because the stronger guy may very well have wrestled as much as your friend's kid.



Sure, if the guy is stronger and has wrestled.

My point was a strong guy who has wrestled will likely handle an even stronger guy who hasn't. Unless of course there's a great disparity like having to deal with a Robert Oberst type.
