In the Pacific in WWII, the video is also probably a good example of the size comparisons of the island Infantry combatants throughout the war. The tall guys took their lumps from the short Japanese as well.
I'm just a Civvy, but my guess is 99% of the fights this guy might find himself in aren't boxing matches.
Take care!
