You thought he was huge then, you should see him now.The man's made tremendous gains with his workout routine. Only a fool would fight with him.

Actually I'd usually pick a fight with truly massive people before I would an average person. You lose so much flexibility and speed with that much mass that it actually makes it easier to be a tactical fighter against them (which is my style). Not saying I'd want to get hit by them, just that size is near the bottom of my list for intimidation factors.

That being said, RedDawn is NOT included in that type because from what I've read he'd still be very likely to take me. 😎

Or somebody who has good fighting skills and is not intimidated by "Gym" muscles. At 51 I seriously doubt I am even close to the toughest guy here. On top of that I haven't been in a fight for over 25 years and even then although I won I was hurting for over a week (kind of makes one wonder if they actually won anything).

In my book the toughest guys are those who overcome devastating personal or emotional situations not those who can't seen to keep themselves out of fights.

Wow, a whole lot of people with zero experience in fighting here.

Size doesn't mean good fighter. Size plus fight training means good fighter, but size alone doesn't help a ton.

Besides, it depends on what type of fighting your talking about here. Is it to the death? Are there any rules? 😛

I'm not much of a boxer or striker, but I'm pretty damn good at choking people out. Luckily I get to practice regularly.

exactly just because you workout all the time doesn't make anyone a good fighter. On top of that some of the extremely strong people don't mass up, there was an egyptian guy at the gym we called pyramid builder, we had a Bruce Lee type body but could do reps with 300lbs on the bench.

I can usually out lift most of the guys out weighing me a good 50lbs (I come in about 180-190lbs in best shape).

I like my pic keeps coming up though 😉 That was something like the 3rd month after getting back into training on a simple 3 day a week plan. Now I have gotten lazy, too many projects eating at my time. I am shooting to get back on a plan in January though.

Crappy fighters think size is all that matters. Mediocre fighters think size doesn't even matter. Real fighters know size does make a big difference, along with training. Size is always important.

Bruce Lee was a massive fuqker wasn't he.

I'm with Nik on this one.
Red Dawn looks like one of those guys you see in a movie brawling in a biker bar pwning everybody (but the lead character, of course).
Amused is more ripped than SpongeBob's pants.
