Pick your bodyguard

Superman. Duh!

Especially now, on coke and pissed off.

(It’s Jon by the way)

Boxing *is *a martial art. Picked Ali over Tyson on Tyson’s say, or as he puts it “…I can’t beat that man, hell fucking no, no fucking way!”

Meng/Haku, Harley Race, or Professor Toru Tanaka.

Does it have to be a human? I once had a police officer tell me that crooks were more scare of K-9 officers than their human partners. Once he had to go to a home whose door the homeowner had found standing open. They hollered in for anyone inside to give themselves up. No response. Then they said they were sending in the dog. Nobody was found, but the officer said, in similar situations, he’d had people give themselves up after he’d called in the dog was being released.

Missed the edit window. Wanted to add this.

Maybe a Caucasian shepherd. Google

He is the brute squad. Anybody want a peanut?

That’s an older, past his prime Tyson trying to be humble (because he himself had been humbled a few times) saying that. I doubt an in his prime, undefeated and pre Robin Givens Tyson would ever say that.

John Cleese, of course: Monty Python - Self-Defense Against Fruit - YouTube

Ha, good point but a tad unfair, I mean if we’re allowing dogs why not a bear, or a tiger? Actually I wonder which animal would rip through a bunch of humans in the least amount of time. My money’s probably on the hippo, thinking about it…

Oh, no doubt you’re correct there, he’d probably be talking all sorts of smack before the fight. Ali wouldn’t be intimidated, though, look at the Sonny Liston fight - who was as scary as Tyson in his day what with his ties to the mob. A discussion for another time, perhaps.

I still want him as my bodyguard. :wink:

Bas Rutten. MMA fighter that used to get into a lot of street fights. Really though, take any heavyweight type striker and you’re probably going to be fine unless the attackers have knives or something.

Bruce Lee would get dogpiled and then his teeth kicked in.

I’d give book Reacher standing orders to beat up movie Reacher if he ever sees him nearby.

Mt first thought was Clint Eastwood in his prime, except he might get pissed and kill me.

So I’ll go with Yoda.

No way. Dill pickles are way bigger and saltier.

Angus Macaskill. As a backup, Bill Kazmier.

I think that this would scare off ANY would-be assailant.

Since the Gurkha is already “taken,” I’ll go with Ward Lamon.

Lamon was the hand-picked bodyguard who accompanied Abraham Lincoln through Baltimore when mobs were looking to kill him. Described simply as “a man known to be good with his fists.”

Kimbo Slice, enough said.

First saw Mr. T on a reality show in the late 70’s. Worlds Toughest Bouncer. They had a dwarf tossing contest. He had the braids and feathers going then but not much bling and gold.
