This guy is enormous.

I'm don't really follow boxing or fighting, but it's hard to ignore this guy.

I don't think anyone will ever be able to take him out?

Now, WHO could POSSIBLY take that guy on?!? Name one person? I can't think of anyone.

It must be hard to arrange for him to fight, you know?

I had a guy like that in my family...and then the Nazi's killed him. :-(

Tyson in his prime could have probably taken him out. That boat sailed long ago. I'd still pay money to see the two of them match up. Lennox was a fairly tall guy, but this guy towers over everyone!

Well, the last fight he was in, the title fight, was a controversial decision where apparently he lost but was given the fight. Many scorecards had the defending champ win the match. So he can be defeated.

Here is just one link, there are many more stories about it from December.

Shaq could take him out. I have faith in Shaq. If shaq fails I could definitely take his place. Me and Shaq are practically twins.

I think any martial arts artist who's decently skilled could put that guy in the hospital fairly quickly. I always thought boxing was kinda stupid. Fighting, but with too many rules.

Your husband was right. A punch from Mike would have knocked that big but slow man on his ass.
And somehow I don't think Ronnie Coleman would be frighten by a guy like him.

Boxing is so much more dangerous. The other day, Joe Frasier was on the radio... Man, he sounds bad, way too many punches. Boxing is just getting pounded in the head over and over again, if you get knocked out, you get another chance if you can get on your feet again.

At least in martial arts you don't get hit in the head over and over and if you get knocked out, it is OVER. No more second chances. Much less likely for real damage to be done.

You know Don King has his eyes on the marketability of this giant.

Ruiz could have knocked the guy out cold, and still would've lost. It's just the Giant's time to be a star. Then, some other guy will knock him out and be "The Giant Killer". Boxing is just like wrestling, right down to the pre-written storylines.

But dude, that guy is freaking huge.

Okay, that guy up there (who is that anyway) is obviously built.

But is he a bodybuilder or a boxer?

Because bodybuilding does not mean that you're a great boxer.

At least, that's what I thought?

I don't really know they guy so I can't say anything on that issue but steroids alone couldn't get you all that. Most people assume when they see a guy with that kind of body. But the truth is he's worked very hard for many, many years to build his body. He's considered by many as the best in the world of bodybuilding.

If he's the best in the world then how come we don't know his name?

He's not bigger than Shaq though. Shaq is 7"1' 340 lbs. A worthy opponent.

I knew who he was. I have no idea why you didn't. He makes all other bodybuilders past and present look like little girly men

That pic really doesn't convey just how massive this guy really is compared to the rest. Just do a search for Ronnie Coleman.

Bodybuilder can't fight too well. They get lactic acid build up very soon in their arms and then it's time for them to eat and screw.

Roids can be detected but Growth hormone injections cannot be detected.
