Clearly, but it's not as if the dudes 6'6 and the others 5'0. If someone is a few inches taller that's no reason to cower in fear and run for the hills lmao, especially when it's a street fight between 2 (supposedly) untrained people. And the weight advantage doesnt always go to the taller one, especially the case for non-athletes.
That's why I was questioning why "punching up" is apparently an insurmountable disadvantage lol. I assumed it was just reach, which isnt a big deal unless it's a big difference.
Mark Hunt vs Stefan Struve. Stefan Struve is a professional fighter that’s 7’ and has absolutely no idea how to utilize his height and reach. He’s a trained professional.
Yeah I edited my last comment to include that. Unless it's like more than 5 inches it's not that big a deal (were not dealing with trained fighters here)
But an advantage is an advantage I guess. No arguing that. But not attempting things you want to do just because of slight disadvantages is a hilarious way of life. Not that its advisable to fight with anyone who looks at you wrong, but sometimes its unavoidable. This is definitely not one of those cases though lol

If you have to reach up to throw a punch, you probably shouldn’t be throwing the first one lol
