Just the other day, I found a picture of myself when I was 19, and I showed it to my gf. She claimed she now has a crush on 19 year-old-me. That made me think, even though I turn 39 in a few days, could I kick 19 year-old-me's ass? So I broke it down -

Size - Me. I weighed 160 at 19 - didnt fill out till 21. Im 188 now.
Speed - 19 YOM. Just slow down as you get older. Way it is.
Skill - Me. Just started fighting competitively at 19
Rage - 19 YOM. I was quite a cocky bastard back then.

Because of the 28 pounds and the boxing experience, I think I would kick 19 YOMs ass. Granted, Id be quicker to throw down back then, but today Id be more likely to make me sorry that I did.... :)

Could you kick 19 year old you's ass?
 
Oh hell yeah. I've never been fast so I haven't really lost any speed and at 19 I was both really skinny (like 6'3" 170) and largely devoid of self-confidence. I'm heavier, possibly in better aerobic shape, and much, much more ornery than I was at 19.

Of course 19 year old me could on rare occasions dunk, and no way in hell that's happening now w/o a trampoline or a pogo-copter

19 year old me would rip 30 year old me apart. When I was 19, I was drunk most of the time so the pain threshold was much higher and I got in fights on a fairly regular basis. I was also quicker and in much better shape. 30 year old me is all washed up and hasn't been in a fight in 9 years.

No way. 19 YOM would kick my ass if the fight lasted any length because of cardio issues...but he was so dense I'd be able to get him pissed off and doing something stupid, get his ass arrested, and sleep with whatever cookie-cutter super freak coke whore he was dating then. :biggrin:

Yeah, you're supposed to ask 'what's your major?' *first* :lol:

Danielle: The advice to 'be yourself' gets old, but it's really true. Just try and overcome your shyness a little to break the ice with people.

I could easily take 19yo me. I'm much stronger now.

But, I wouldn't do it. Instead, I'd sit me down and give 16 years worth of advice.

Man, wouldn't that have been nice?
