    I’m a really big dude and that shit terrifies me. Some people like to target fat folks thinking they’re out of shape. And I am very, very out of shape.

    But the fact that I can get out of bed and walk up stairs effortlessly means I’m incredibly, incredibly strong. What most people lift when maxing out is what I lift every time I move.

    If I throw a punch in anger, I could easily kill.

      Calm down bro, being overweight is not turning you into Mike Tysson immediately. You know, an unskilled fist punch to the face of another man can also result in hurting or partly breaking your own hand.

        Iunno bruh it sounds like he studied the blade :D But fr if he’s big enough to knock you down, its the pavement - not the punch that kills you.

        Eh… Mike Tyson isn’t famous because his first punch hits hard, it’s because he can do more than a few swings and knows what he is doing.

        The point the other commenter was making is that there is more force behind a punch from a large person vs a tiny person. Not that they have some magical fighting ability because they are overweight.

        Absolutely. But a broken hand can still have force behind it.

        And not that it matters, but I do know how to throw a punch. And there’s a big gap between “how hard someone expects a punch to be” and "world champion boxer heavyweight boxer. "

        Mike Tyson could definitely kill with a punch.
