In all seriousness, if an obeasts' ideal body weight is 125lb but it is like 180lbs and the obeast faces a normal person who is 125 and is in good shape, does the extra weight help it at all?

I guess the example is sumo. If you're a strong dude wrapped in blubber, are you better off NOT pound for pound overall, but pound for pound in terms of muscle over a guy who has exactly the same amount of muscle not encased in fat. I'm talking about in a fight, not in a running away or not dying of a heart attack situation.

The typical obeast is really slow and clumsy. They'd have to be a super elite athlete like Ragen to pull off squashing a fit competitor. I'm pretty sure most shitlords could escape their greasy grasp.

UFC 1, first fight. The fat guy loses his tooth.

Size matters, but there are other important variables as well: 1) Technique, 2) Cardio, 3) Amount of fighting experience, and 4) Rules of the game (i.e., are we talking about a judo match, or a sumo fight, or a Muay Thai contest, or etc.? Or are we in a mixed martial arts fight and all moves are allowed?). Without all these pieces of information provided, it is quite hard to say for sure who will win. We can safely assume that the obese fighter will have much worse cardio, but if he is up against a normal-sized adult who has no training/less training in fighting, he can conceivably win by lying on top of the normal-sized guy and smothering him, or by cornering him and delivering punches, etc. There is an MMA fighter named Mark Hunt who is undoubtedly obese, but he has great knockout power in his hands and accurate striking, and he has managed to do a lot of damage to opponents who are in better physical shape.
