I knew a person who looked a lot like a white George Foreman ( same size, all shoulders, biceps and forearms). He fought often and never lost. I once watched him make quick work of two guys who were considered pretty tough themselves. One was a bouncer and the other was a big guy who used steroids and spent a lot of time lifting weights. The fight was no contest. This man was shot and killed at age 44. Rural Alabama. No one was ever charged.

At one point I knew all the toughest guys in my city with about 1 million population. Bouncers, bikers, powerlifters, boxers, MMA. I was reflecting on this recently, I'm only early 50s, but every single one of those guys is dead now, one way or another, except for one guy who is serving multiple life sentences.
I was friends with the brother of a Navy Seal back in the day. One time, the brother was on leave and visited our town, so we all went out to the bars. A local tough guy started talking crap to the Seal, things were escalating, and the bartender told them to take it outside. As they were walking out the Seal was saying over and over, "you don't want to do this" to the guy.
We get outside and the Seal says to the guy, "you get the first hit, then it's my turn." So the guy clocks him right in the nose. He staggers back a step, then, and I swear this is true, he looks the guy right in the eye, and without flinching he pops his nose back to its normal position. Then he simply said, "my turn."
The other guys eyes were wide as saucers and he took off running. This was by far the most badass thing I've ever witnessed.

Thats very interesting thank you. That’s the thing isn’t it? As men, we admire the toughest man in the room. Nothing wrong with being the toughest guy in the room. But sometimes men use it in ways ultimately destructive to themselves and others.
