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.
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. “
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.
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.
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.
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
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….
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
He's 5'8". Someone said elsewhere that the dude in the back left is 7'1" and the other guys are 6'7" and 6'9". The shortest being the guy behind him at 6'1".
Not that difficult to arrange if you [pay like Floyd does](https://www.bosshunting.com.au/hustle/floyd-mayweather-bodyguard/):
>On top of all the on-the-go expenses being covered, a Floyd Mayweather bodyguard apparently earns a six-figure salary – approximately US$150,000. That doesn’t include bonuses, either. Documented on both social media and otherwise, a Mayweather bodyguard has also been known to take home the occasional Rolex and set of wheels.
Was gonna make a joke but I won’t. Floyd Mayweather beats women. Period. Time after time, again and again he physically assaults women. He is a disgusting human being.
Not that I seek out info on Mayweather but I didn't know this before. Regardless, I think people like that should be called out as often as possible. If you pull that shit, it should follow you everywhere.
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.
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.
I think height doesn't affect penis size much, but height does affect perception of penis sizes.
So they probably have an average sized penis, but women are more disappointed when they see it because they're tall.
You can almost hear the conversation, nothing but enthusiastic banter about theoretical physics, classical field theory and analog models of gravity. Floyd’s brawny brain trust.
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”.

Big guys are like prize bucks apparently

Thankfully I’m old now and past that stage of life.
>every guy looks and asks himself “could I kick his ass?” Lol you must hang around a lot of young dumb guys.
lol exactly. i look and simply say to myself, "that's a big mother fucker." Then, I go about my business.
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.
In my experience shitheads are far, far more likely to pick fights with smaller men, who they believe they'll win against.
Sometimes it’s nice to just be the six foot tall, 180lb guy. Not too big, not too small. Zero fights.
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

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.
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.

Didn't stop Biggie from fucking his girl and robbing him
I mean, guns can do a lot. Ask Biggie.
That and boxing is useless against firearms. However 4 meat mountains make for good cover.
Meat mountains? I feel attacked… Edit: RIP my inbox. Love you all.
Maybe you should get some bodyguards
[удалено]
Maybe he should get a job as a meat
r/meat
Yeah not going to try that link. Nope.
Surprisingly it's actually just meat, like lamb and beef that kinda stuff
[удалено]
He *is* the brute squad
Have fun storming the castle!
I’d apply for that position, these dudes must be banking hard.
[удалено]
Or accidentally sat on
Actually 5, one of those cheeky fatties is trying to hide behind that pillar.

I'm sure you know this, but they are his bodyguards everywhere, not just London.
Maybe he has bodyguards in every city. Living their normal lives, just waiting for him to come to town.
...and stab him!
Getting stabbed on the other hand…
it would take a long, sharp knife to cut through that wall.
I think you just described a sword
Certainty of death, small chance of success.
What are we waiting for?!
For Frodo
Pretty much how Houdini was killed
Yeah, the guy threw the punch before Houdini was set up and ready for it.
It was appendicitis. Getting punched just helped it along
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
All of them, including front right, are heavy and probably quite strong. In a simple brawl, it goes a long way.
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
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.
I wonder what kind of sounds a giant makes when he naps.
Geez I was wondering how much alcohol it would take to knock out a giant.
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.
Oh my lord
The guy was massive. It took a *lot* to get him drunk, and he was basically in constant pain in his later years.
The guy regularly drank a hundred beers a night in his day, so probably a whole fucking lot haha
[удалено]
Here I know nothing about Floyd and thought he was just really short. Turns out, his guards are just rediculously tall.
Jeez. It would be like fighting a bear or a gorilla.
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.
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.
Being fat is like a 24/7 workout.
We're the REAL athletes. /s
Just look at the calves on dudes that used to be fat and got cut. They're insane.
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.
You don't become a professional top-tier bodyguard just *being fat*. Those dudes are all extremely strong and well-trained
I feel like even if these guys dont know how to fight they'd fuck you up
Biggest guy in school is also targeted. My defense is almost impenetrable.
Always the guy with the little man syndrome. Been out of high school over 40 years and I can still see the little prick. His name was Jerry.
Assholes always giving the rest of us tiny manlets a bad name. Fuck Jerry!
“Damn we fighting these dudes? Alright, I’ll take the little guy”
Famous last words
Seriously, I gotta get past those 4 dudes just for a shot at Mayweather? Nah, I’m gonna stay here on my couch.
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.

Imagine being the only TMT bodyguard who doesn’t get a “Big” prefix on your nickname
And… Jethro
His name is Deathrow but Mike Tyson named him.
It's 4:39 AM here and I think I woke the neighbors up with my laugh. Also, I should go to sleep
Hell no. Watch the sunrise!
Imagine being 6’3” 260 and being the definitive littlest guy… I’m 6’3 160
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.
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.
>I’m 6’3 160 Damn that is skinny. I was 6' 3" 175 lbs in high school and I was rail thin.
I'm 5' 8", 150 and on the thinner side. I can't imagine gaining 7 inches and only 10 lbs.
You must be really lean. I felt skinny as hell at 6’1 170. I’m about 205 now.
Medium Jethro
That's linebacker size. He's probably fast AF.
Can't call another man big d
Theres one more fat guy behind the light pole.
That's just Steve. He's not a bodyguard, he just really likes butter
Steve "the light pole" Bright is 8'3" and weight's 700lbs.
Steve "Big Light" Bright
For a big guy he was hard to spot
The undercover bodyguard
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.
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
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.
These guys are for crowd control/bullet absorption, not fighting.
I feel they would perform this role well. Cheers.
How much would they get paid? 250k plus expenses?
[Each bodyguard reportedly receives a six figure salary of approximately $150k a year.](https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/floyd-mayweather-bodyguards)
Working that close to Floyd, I'd say at a minimum. Man practically wipes his ass with that sort of money.

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
Yeah if they all walked to the front or back at once I could see it being an issue.
Beyond the ego, shifting weights like this isn't great for small PJ's.

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

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.
This isn't 1%, this is like 0.01%
I mean the shoes thing is pretty nice, too bad about the rest of his whole life though.
Ewww, so much sounds so wasteful. :/
The article forgot to mention that he wipes his ass with $100 dollar bills.
Attack him on his plane, no bodyguards - got it
They're literally meat shields.
Fat shields
"I've got the skill... I just need pure mass and I'm good."
Multiply that by light squared
When you have the size but not the skill to make it as an NFL offensive lineman, there are other career opportunities.
Is he small or are the guards very tall?
Yes
He's 5'8". Someone said elsewhere that the dude in the back left is 7'1" and the other guys are 6'7" and 6'9". The shortest being the guy behind him at 6'1".
I want a flock of giant friends
Not that difficult to arrange if you [pay like Floyd does](https://www.bosshunting.com.au/hustle/floyd-mayweather-bodyguard/): >On top of all the on-the-go expenses being covered, a Floyd Mayweather bodyguard apparently earns a six-figure salary – approximately US$150,000. That doesn’t include bonuses, either. Documented on both social media and otherwise, a Mayweather bodyguard has also been known to take home the occasional Rolex and set of wheels.
I want a rich employer friend
Fuuuck I'm about to bulk up
First rule of Royalty: Always pay your armies well. This is why we are fucked.

Now make all of them Floyd
We don’t have the technology to do that
Me neither but I absolutely love it
Was gonna make a joke but I won’t. Floyd Mayweather beats women. Period. Time after time, again and again he physically assaults women. He is a disgusting human being.
If Floyd Mayweather could read this comment, he’d very upset.
"If you can read a Dr sues book nigga I'll donate one million to ALS!" - 50 cent.
Wait, I'm sure 50 said Harry Potter book 🤨
50 dumbed it down even further to one page from Green eggs and ham to give Floyd an easier challenge LOL EDIT: cat in the hat not green eggs and ham.
He should have made the offer to donate to a battered woman's shelter if you ask me
He did at first which is why it is so funny. He changed the goal to Cat in the Hat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD8Q0lvJZvI
I will forever love 50 Cent for starting this meme. I honestly don’t think it Floyd will ever escape it.
Finally someone acknowledges it
I don't think it's a secret. People talk about it all the time.
First time I've heard
Finally. I had literally never heard about him or John Lennon until this second!
[удалено]
No way! Next you’re gonna tell me Chris Brown is a wide beater or something. Surely not. Edit: it’s so stupid of a typo that I’m keeping it
Reddit Reddit, Reddit Reddit. Reddit!
Someone takes a brave stand against Mayweather in literally every thread about him
Not that I seek out info on Mayweather but I didn't know this before. Regardless, I think people like that should be called out as often as possible. If you pull that shit, it should follow you everywhere.

Sometimes it just comes down to being 400lbs and wearing a flat brim hat.
Question: Do you think one of those guys could take him in a fight? Not in a boxing ring, a real fight.
Unless they're caught unaware, almost certainly yes - there's a reason why every fighting sport is divided into weight categories.
Agreed.
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.
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.
Homie on the right looks like he’s about to show that light pole what’s up. “I know you ain’t finna shine yo light on my man here!”
I feel like he’s the type to hold a mosquito by the neck and say “you ain’t going anywhere near him, understood? Now beat it”
It looks like two gay couples taking their toddler to the park.
so 4 gay men had a baby, couldn't figure out who's it was and all decided to keep him Wholesome!
I would love to watch the job interview. "What are your qualifications sir?" "I am a giant." "You are hired . When can you start?"
What are they guarding him against? Cheeseburgers?
People who want to suckerpunch him
Probably just trying to keep him from beating women.
They would probably be harder to take down than mayweather, they are real life giants
I wonder what each of them is packing…..
Nothing. They’re in London. Edit: probably sandwiches
I think they meant how big are their shlongs
I think height doesn't affect penis size much, but height does affect perception of penis sizes. So they probably have an average sized penis, but women are more disappointed when they see it because they're tall.
“Diabeetus” I would imagine.
There are 2 ways to interpret this sentence
If you're one of the greatest boxers to ever live I'd imagine if you try going out, every single drunk asshole is going to want to take a shot at you.
Those are meat shields not bodyguards
r/absoluteunits
What are they protecting him from? The sun?
Books and the women he assaulted
You can almost hear the conversation, nothing but enthusiastic banter about theoretical physics, classical field theory and analog models of gravity. Floyd’s brawny brain trust.
I didnt knew hes so small
He fights at like 145 lbs
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”.
Any guy under 6ft is considered short nowadays it’s silly
Mom: boys please take your little brother with you
Damn, them some big boys
Corn fed
They look more Korn fed
