Could you beat up your 20 year old self?

I turned 40 this year and I’m pretty sure I would win a fight against my 20 year old self. I’m in pretty good shape and I’m much more devious now. What about y’all (who are over 20, lol)?

 

Like my dad always says “A man is always stronger than a boy”. His favorite saying to use when I thought I was somebody when I was a teenager.

 

I think the real question to ask one’s self is would you? I’m much more tame than I used to be.

 

Well most people are skinny nothings at 20 so thats not really a fair comparison.

I’m 27 and could kick the shit out of my 20 year old self.

I’ve got at least 25lbs of muscle on my 20 year old self haha.

 

Same. I'm not the fiery Marine I was then. I may have been in better shape but older me knows more. Either way it'd be fun to spectate.

 

Spectate...lol. Why thank you for your service anyway sir

 

LMAO this makes for an entertaining thought...younger me was faster, bolder and stronger older me doesn't give a shit win lose or draw and a little wiser

 

You won't heal as fast

 

I do weigh 80lbs more now than I did then so I would hope I could beat up 20 year old me.


Edit - Thanks for the chuckles OP.

 

Forget my 20 y.o. self. I want a crack at my 20 y.o. wife!

 

Now we’re talking!

 

My 20yr old self would either cut me or beat me with a length of chain wrapped in electrical tape. I'm not going to mess with that crazy SOB.

 

I ran and lifted every single day in my teens and 20s. Kinda got burned out on it by my 30s. Now I'm old and fat, my earlier self could easily knock me out with one punch.

 

I was carved out of wood when I was 20. Now I'm carved out of Jello.

 

No, I'd just shoot the a**hole and move on.

 

All I know is at the end of it all I would definitely kick my ass....wait.

Yea hell no. 20 yr old self was shredded and could fall off a roof and laugh it off. 31 yr old self hits my shin on the coffee table and I still have a bruise 2 weeks later.

 

At 20 I was pretty fast and tough, at 40 I was tough but not as fast, at 54 I'm in great shape but would likely run (fast) away from my 20 year old self.

 

Well i could say in my 20s im just average skinny guy.. and now that im in the 50s. I love my beer belly where can filled up more. Lol!

 

At 27 I'm still about the same size as i was at 20. It'd be a close fight, I'm probably a good bit stronger now but a bit less agile.
