If you are tall and strong enough to take me down then you are undoubtedly larger and stronger than a hobbit. A hobbit sized individual would have no chance. And, as I mentioned before, that's assuming that the hobbit sized individual could even catch me. Even the great Sleepy Ranger might find that a bit difficult.

Heh. I'm guessing that you aren't an athlete who has played football against smaller foes. Let me tell you, a few months ago when one of my cousins tried to employ the go-for-the-knees method, my leg simply went through him like he wasn't there and left his collar bone and side bruised and his nose bloody.

Sure, a hobbit would stand a chance of using this method on a light person without much muscle development, but when you're dealing with someone like me who used to spend three or four hours a day running (either on a track or on a tennis court), the body of a little hobbit isn't much of an impediment to the legs.

And if a hobbit couldn't tackle me, there is no way a hobbit could hope to tackle the likes of Turin, Aragorn, and Isildur.
