def. a freak, but seems to have thick skin - could have been an issue if he tried to compete at the higher levels.
for the most part, i think he was scared to compete and his ego couldnt handle loosing.
sure, we get the whole 'competitive issue, but if that's true, then what's with working out in singlets in venice beach?
if he really didnt give a shit, he'd be covered in sweats in a dungeon gym in england.
