    Tank could have been something but he was to lard ass to train.

    He is that strong he can bench some serious weights and can curl 150 pounds db.

    Sad i really like the guy too he is one funny dude

    Yeah but still, you got to think he didnt even have a bench shirt or anything. That was just raw power right there.

    He'd do worse today if he was in his prime, than he did 10 years ago. Fighters today are more skilled and more well rounded than ever before.

    Absolutly, when he got taken down he could barley get up, let alone being punched at the same time. He did give some good highlight clips though.

    Just think though, he's probably not even benching double his body weight, so not too big of a deal.

    In the ring he wouldnt be entertaining, but he'd amke you look like a bitch workin out next to him in the gym. And I sure as hell wouldnt want to be fighting with him after a few pitchers in the bar, hell after all its where he trains. also when he talks shit about aas in mma and says hes never done it hes one person I believe it.

    I know he was as high as almost 350 at one point. But even still just to be able to bench over 600 pounds is pretty amazing.

    Im just going off of what all his stats list off of the internet on different sites. But I hear you. He is still strong as hell and could cut upp a little and still be just as strong.

    hey can anyone point me to some videos that show injuries from bad form or just injuries while lifting a lot? ie: tearing a shoulder from benching, or bursting a hamstring?
