>Kant
>stood less than five feet tall, and his head was disproportionately large for his body. His frame suffered from a slight corkscrew twist, which made his left shoulder droop, his right shoulder curve back, and his head tend to lean to one side.
i'd btfo this midget,quick one-two landed on this enormous dome would seal the deal. 1st round KO for me
>Plato
>fine-looking and strong" individual with a broad, stocky build

okey he could probably fuck me up
>Buddha
>likely standing around 6 feet tall with a well-proportioned, athletic build, light golden-brown skin, and a shaved head after renunciation
>tried to overcome physical desires by restricting food intake to just a few grains, or eventually, only one grain of rice per day, causing extreme emaciation.
let's be real, this vege basedboy wouldn't stand a chance with beef consuming chad like myself, natural fitness and mindfulness hindoo magic can't carry him through the rain of straight punches, 3rd round TKO for me

Most ancient Greeks would probably toss-ups or I would get btfo, some of them served in their militaries, they trained their bodies, and since they were high-class they had good diets.

I bet I could beat up Confucius, no chinaman stands a chance.

>Confucius was described in ancient texts as an exceptionally tall and physically strong man, often cited as being over 2 meters (nearly 7 feet) tall, earning him the nickname "Tall Man"

Depending on the sort of Greek, since their upper-class were all trained in war and sports, and had naturally fit bodies. Unless you're bringing them back white-bearded in their old age then you'd have a tough challenge.

easy work, he can scrap a little but with his double vision and disturbed balance he'd swing like crazy, I'd punch him in his gut, his liver is barely intact anyway, one precise punch would put him down. 4th round TKO for me

6ft tall isn't even that tall above average even Ancient farmer-wise, so to have an extensive record of a dude being slightly tall in antiquity is retarded (and assuming it'd survive up until today). For it to make an impression, you'd have to meet the man face to face, as naturally, the soil is uneven, as are paths, much more in a hilly terrain like Nepal, even on horseback you don't differentiate tallness and shortness (Attila the Hun was thought to be 5′ 3″ yet he was thought to be intimidating.)
I appreciate your shitpost, but to me the Buddha is canonically a tall jeet from Antiquity. Good lineage, founded a religion and acquired a following, so it's 90% likely he had an imposing and persuasive presence.

nah, i'm just not convinced by his ass specifically. i could be convinced by other asses that have a history of being right or who have made well reasoned arguments before

shit, anyway, it doesn't matter that much, it would be even easier to fuck him up if he's just jeety jeet weakling. it still amazes me, billions of people not even single prominent boxer or UFC fighter

Buddha was also Kshatriya, and had warrior's training. He could tie you into a knot, but won't because he wants to release you from suffering, not induce it on you.

He was a high caste (warrior) scythian. Also, "India" or "Indian" doesn't refer to anything specific. The huge region that is "India" was home to different people and Gautama specifically was a scythian.

>>25040777
bro if you think buddha was 6' you're insane

>>25040777
>scythian.
this is pure conjecture, there is zero documented evidence of them being present in India

We know what nepalese people look like, they are more asiatic and less europid-looking than most northern plains indians and kashmiris

I'm Indian and every guy in my family on father's side is consistently 5'10 to 6'2 . But then again we are kshatriya
