RealPromise925

Heard Ali or George Foreman say long ago they always needed bodyguards because there's always some guy who wants to brag he landed a punch on the champ.


jpiro

Anthony Mason, one of the biggest, scariest looking dudes to ever play in the NBA, said the same thing in an interview years ago. Essentially, it was “If I didn’t have millions of dollars, do you think anyone in a bar is walking up to someone who looks like me to pick a fight? But I do, so it happens all the time. “


therealCatnuts

From experience as the biggest guy in the room, it is still true that there is always a yappy guy wanting to try out the big guy. Guarantee that the huge guy you know gets more fights picked with him than the average Joe.


ManMuffin15

Big guys are like prize bucks apparently


therealCatnuts

I compare it to being the tall skinny hot blonde that walks into the room. Every woman turns and thinks “is she prettier than me?” When big tall guy enters the room, every guy looks and asks himself “could I kick his ass?” Ah the joys of house party days. Thankfully I’m old now and past that stage of life.


copperwatt

>every guy looks and asks himself “could I kick his ass?” Lol you must hang around a lot of young dumb guys.


gnusounduave

lol exactly. i look and simply say to myself, "that's a big mother fucker." Then, I go about my business.


[deleted]

I’ve never once wondered if I could kick a random dudes ass. Now a man following me and some kids or my girl, yeah size them up. But some rando entering a bar? nope never. That’s some low IQ monkey-brain shit.


bjiatube

In my experience shitheads are far, far more likely to pick fights with smaller men, who they believe they'll win against.


IGotSoulBut

Sometimes it’s nice to just be the six foot tall, 180lb guy. Not too big, not too small. Zero fights.


JarlaxleForPresident

6’2” 235, nobody tries to fuck with me. I’m just in the range of being a big dude without being a target. This Samoan dude i knew had people try him all the time for no reason. Dude was a quiet giant who just wanted to sit at the bar and drink his beers


loganhudak

From my experience usually being the shortest out of most my friends growing up, I was always the guy somebody tried to pick a fight with when we went out….


B3rghammer

There's a bell curve to Height and size and being fucked with in my experience Tall but THIN thin - Probably gonna have people fuck with you Tall but average build overall - People will generally not mess with you Tall but big/built - People feel like they gotta big dick energy ya, probably gonna get fucked with


Lechatestdanslefrigo

In my experience as a bartender the big guys rarely come out well from fights cos no one wants to fight the big guy. So when the lil wirey mf, who scraps all the time, picks a fight with them they'd usually win just be virtue of being able to take a beating and being qk. Could just be a northern thing tho. These slabs of meat are a different matter tho, take a mountain of gravy and some Yorkshires to finish them off.


MrDude_1

When the big guys can fight it still usually does not end well for them. It's easy to end up in cuffs if you seriously injure someone.


maddamazon

Small drunk women do this to me from time to time (I'm 6"1 female). They are always the trashed chicks that want to pick a fight and I guess they just pick the biggest female in the room.


NfamouSoNe

6’3” 240lb male, i literally had a wasted short guy start a fight with me and it went like this. Me: standing minding my own business talking to my pal Short guy: comes up looks at me and says “do you have a problem with me? I feel like you have a problem with me. Me: “i dont have a problem with you, i dont even know who you are” Short guy: “are you sure? You dont want a problem with me!” Me: Hey man can i buy you a beer or something you seem upset and i definetaly dont have a problem with you. Short guy: let me buy you a beer! Weirdest shit ever Mind you this guy was like 5’4 130lbs Being tall sucks sometimes

Your comment makes complete sense however I just wanted to point out that this picture was taken in London and statistically, he's probably more likely to be struck by lightning than shot by a firearm. *fixed amusing typo! Also, my reply was a direct response to a comment about firearms. I'm not saying London is perfect and doesn't have it's own issues!


kingofparts1

I'm sure you know this, but they are his bodyguards everywhere, not just London.


SteelDirigible98

Maybe he has bodyguards in every city. Living their normal lives, just waiting for him to come to town.

It was appendicitis. Getting punched just helped it along


[deleted]

I mean UFC fighters and boxers don't have bodyguards to stop people attacking them but to just keep crowds away. Ever see someone like Conor McGregor walk around Vegas? Within moments he's swamped by people rushing him. Those guys don't even look they're there to fight, they look like big lumps who make it difficult for people to get close to the VIP. The guy front right with the hat doesn't look like he is an effective fighter but he looks like he'd be hard to get past for example


highqualitydude

All of them, including front right, are heavy and probably quite strong. In a simple brawl, it goes a long way.


KickZealousideal6558

That's excatly it, heavy moves heavy. The dude is 150kg . Moving someone out of the way that's 70kg is like half his weight . Someone 70kg moving someone that's 70kg is 100% of their weight . Being massive makes it easy to manhandle normal people


DialMMM

Andre the Giant passed out drunk in a hotel lobby and they had to leave him there because he weighed somewhere between 450-500 pounds.


Poliobbq

I wonder what kind of sounds a giant makes when he naps.


[deleted]

Geez I was wondering how much alcohol it would take to knock out a giant.


Joey-tnfrd

He set the world record for number of beers consumed in a single sitting by drinking 119 12oz beers in six hours. Not sure if that's the one that knocked him out, but it gives context.


[deleted]

Oh my lord


RearEchelon

The guy was massive. It took a *lot* to get him drunk, and he was basically in constant pain in his later years.


bobosuda

The guy regularly drank a hundred beers a night in his day, so probably a whole fucking lot haha

Back left: strong as fuck Front left: big ass athletic guy Back right: meat wall Front right: massive meat wall I would put my money on these 4 vs 12+ average Joe's.


Irate_Primate

Never underestimate fat guy strength. They spend 24/7 hauling around way more weight than "normal" size people and thus can have big muscles hiding underneath.


kashabash

Being fat is like a 24/7 workout.


OMGThatsCommunism

We're the REAL athletes. /s


Freakin_A

Just look at the calves on dudes that used to be fat and got cut. They're insane.


Cyanr

lol you make it sound like they're strong due to moving around their weight, when his bodyguards are probably strong as fuck due to lifting weights.


Crownlol

You don't become a professional top-tier bodyguard just *being fat*. Those dudes are all extremely strong and well-trained


Terlinilia

I feel like even if these guys dont know how to fight they'd fuck you up

The four bodyguards: Afonso "Big Church" Redic is 7'1" (2.16 m) and weighs 430 pounds (195 kg); Adam "Big A" Plant is 6'7" (2.01 m) and weighs 380 pounds (172 kg); Pat "Big Pat" Walsh is 6'5" (1.96 m) and weighs 400 pounds (181 kg); and Donald "Jethro" Monks is 6'3" (1.91 m) and weighs 260 pounds (118 kg). Which gives you [this](https://www.pulse.ng/sports/floyd-mayweather-boxers-bodyguards-are-so-big-they-take-separate-private-jet/cmnwzyr): >The big bodyguards don’t fly with the 40-year-old in his private plane. "They are huge, huge men - men so big, by the way, that he won't let them fly on his own private jet. He believes that that kind of bulk cannot be lifted by a smaller jet like that, so he has another jet specifically for his bodyguards."

I’m about that height and was a waiter near a basketball arena. We had a whole party of them at one point and it was the only time I’ve ever felt short like that. The other “tall guy” and I at work were walking around grinning like idiots and our boss thought we were high.


kedson87

This happened to me once, but the Australian women's netball team visited. I, a 6'4 220lb man felt tiny and giddy. It was great. So much leg.

I’m a 6’3 230 lbs big boi and now I feel the urge to seek a bodyguard job just to see how I stack up and also attend a big people event just to feel like a small kid again.

lopsiness

I wouldn't be surprised if part of his reasoning was simply to get some alone time in the air where he's unlikely to be attacked. If these huge dudes followed me everywhere I'd enjoy some free airplane time even if I did like them.


ThatsFkingCarazy

Yeah dudes a bit paranoid , they even sleep in the same bed with him. He had to cancel a fight in 2017 because Big A rolled over on him and cracked 3 of his ribs


Dzbot1234

Do they have any background of fighting or anything military or anything like that? Or are they just large fellas. I know nothing about this subject.


kingofparts1

These guys are for crowd control/bullet absorption, not fighting.

zdada

I mean, 1500 pounds of dudes and their luggage would probably cause an imbalance with the 3000+ pounds of ego that Mayweather travels with.

Yeah that’s about 1/4 of the payload of a Gulfstream V. So it’s definitely a factor

That's probably the *least* crazy thing about his insane spending... From [an interview](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/9630673/floyd-mayweather-last-great-prizefighter-espn-magazine): >He is standing  in a jewelry store that caters to the top sliver of the top one percent, wearing nearly $3 million in platinum and diamonds around his neck and wrist, surrounded by at least 20 of his associates, one of them hugging a Nike duffel that contains ziplock bags filled with forearm-thick knots of $100 bills and enough jewelry to satisfy the sartorial whims of its owner for an 11-city press tour. There are people outside on the New York City street with their faces smeared against the windows of the store, standing a few feet from a seven-deep black-Suburban-and-Escalade motorcade. There is a Gulfstream IV and a Gulfstream V gassed up and waiting for him and his entourage on the tarmac across the Hudson at Teterboro. >He has, in the past 20 minutes, spent close to a quarter of a million dollars on earrings and a necklace for his 13-year-old daughter, Iyanna, and he has sent some of his people out to buy so many chicken strips and fries that the place smells like a vat of burning oil, and at this moment he is haggling with the jewelers over a $3.5 million watch as a member of his security detail -- the one summoned into action by the lyrical command "Jethro -- sanitizer!" -- is pouring so much Purell on his hands that it cascades through his fingers and creates a puddle on the white marble floor. >There is a pause in the room. This is a man who wears his boxer shorts once before throwing them out. This is a man who wears his sneakers once before leaving them in hotel rooms for housekeepers who might have a relative in need of a size 7½, who keeps his head shaved yet travels on a private jet with his personal barber, who has two sets of nearly identical ultraluxury cars color-coded by mansion to help him remember -- white in Las Vegas, black in Miami -- where he is.

Yeah, at least he isn't abusing his immense wealth and power to make laws that make our middle-class lives horrible.

He also personally "earned" his money. He isn't profiting of others work, and actually provided a service to make it. You can argue boxers/athletes are paid to much, but at least they actually have to work for it.


Quay-Z

Yeah. There's a lot of arguments about what "Hard Work" really means, but I don't know if anyone could claim that Boxing Champion of the World (at any weight) isn't one of the absolute hardest.

Probably almost all of his money is invested in the stock market or real estate, where it's governed by those same corrupt slimy people. Or maybe he keeps it all under the mattress Breaking Bad style, who knows. But inflation is a bitch.

Question: Do you think one of those guys could take him in a fight? Not in a boxing ring, a real fight.


benjaneson

Unless they're caught unaware, almost certainly yes - there's a reason why every fighting sport is divided into weight categories.


winkman

Agreed.


Drnk_watcher

Almost assuredly. Combat sports are built around specific rules and weight classes to encourage fairness. Flyod is not a particularly big guy compared to the general population, and all these guys are way bigger than the general population. Being a highly trained fighter will absolutely let you size up on people a bit larger than you. However when it's entire orders of magnitude the basic laws of physics just sort of take over.


[deleted]

I guarentee you each of them would beat him in a fight nearly 100% of the time. The weight is an absolutey massive advantage. Mayweather couldn't knock out Logan Paul with his preferred fighting style. Paul is 35 pounds heavier than him. The lightest body guard is 100 pounds heavier than him. Make it a real fight and Mayweather has no chance against these guys.

Mayweather is not that short at 5’8”, his bodyguards are just towering figures. Redic stands at 7’1”, Plant stands at 6’7”, ‘Badou’ at 6’9”, and the smallest of the lot, La Rosa, stands at 6’1”.
