Who would win in a fight between [this boy](http://richardsandrak.com/3333.htm) and an average grown up woman aged between 35 and 40 years old? Who would win a Tug of War? _and when I say average woman all I mean is not a woman who is a body builder and not a woman who is really weak, just your average 35-40 year old woman._ The boy is 12 and he studies Ju Jitsu and Boxing so for the fight I’m going with him and also pound for pound he is one of the strongest people in the world so in the Tug of War I am also going with him. ---

That isn’t even a question. That little freak would easily win. I am not even sure that I could beat him and I am a 31 year old, 200 pound man. ---

That is the most frightening thing I have seen in a long time. ---

Wasn’t there a thread on this kid last week? Talk about creepy. Plus, isn’t it unhealthy to start serious weight-lifting before one is finished growing? ---

I really don’t see how this is impressive. _I’m_ about as muscular as he is. ---

See, now I was thinking 1 decent punch and he would probably go down (not like that) as his face makes me think 12 yr old boy. I think the only chance he’d have is if you couldn’t hit him which could happen quite easily I suppose. Meh. ---

I think you’re supposed to go about it pretty carefully. I know I’ve seen books out there that discuss weightlifting at an early age. Why you’d want to is another question.
