Who knows. Bragging rights maybe, Napoleon syndrome maybe, maybe just BS. Maybe he was off his face and they were essentially throwing a legless bag of meat out of a pub. Or maybe they were both martial artists and could use the guy's greater size against him.
Whatever the reason, I'd just feel sorry for anyone I overheard having that conversation. It's sad. Beat ape with club, much?
