I can see Chris Cormier to be the TOUGHEST guy in all of BB to make hang up his cell phone and turn off the BET channel but uh...what substance do you have to illustrate this claim, John?

I would concur w/ Lyle Alzaydo. The way he manhandled Jim Varney in 'Ernest Goes To Camp' was something of legend.

Mike Mattarazzo is fkn great...I miss that guy!

The question was not the toughest man in the world, it was toughest in bodybuilding. Why include Cormier? Anyone who can party like he does and still make it to the Olympia the next day is tough in my book

I heard that when Cormier was here working on opening a Powrhouse Gym he went out one night to Studebakers and got in a fight and got his ass handed to him by a smaller local guy. I wasn't there jsut heard it from one of my friends. In fact I never saw Cormier while he was here except once at the gym I think.

I would think Waller. He just looks like he wouldn't think twice about punching you in the face if you pissed him off. Scrappy Irishman.

You talkin about Ken Waller?? He's not Irish, or were you refering to me?

I know of a Walter O'Malley, he won the British back in the day, now he was a HARD man, originally from Ireland but brought up in England

Ok, I'm hearing all this shit about weenieburger being some ancient okinawa style karate champion etc, Bob say's he had the ball's to confront titus in fron of 20 people(wonder hwy he need 20 people with him ).

Who out is the toughest guy in the industry, and please no one say tamali.

IMO it is/was Titus. Didn't he once knock out cormier?

You can count judges/experts/schmoes (tre etc) and anyone else in the industry.

p.s remember gusy like shawn ray will always fight dirty (grab your balls etc).

Titus CHEAP shoted Melvin Anthony not Cormier

Does anyone remeber about 6-7 years ago there was an aticle in FLEX i believe, where someone had broken into Mike Mattarazo's house while he and his girl was sleeping. Mike tossed that bitch around like a rag doll.

Mike Quinn , in his bb days, wins it hands down. Recently, in an interview with Ron Harris, he was quoted calling Titus a big piece of shit. Tuff Bostonian. Mike rules.

Hardly.He might be the toughest talking BB'er,but that's about it.Unless, you consider a bully tough,which is what he was. Quinn has had his ass handed to him on several occasions.But he always talked a big fight.

Too bad his wrists are so small that they will break before making a landing..

Johnny... two of your choices are dead (both cool cats, especially Jeep, IMO). They can't be that tough. And FWIW, I've worked a few doors with Chris and he can handle his business, but he ain't the type to put the boots to a guy when he's down or shove a guys face through a car windshield. So toughest? No. Tough? Yes.

I was going to say Lyle but technically he wasn't a bodybuilder. Remember when Jeep gave Platz a black eye?

didn't greg valentino brag in some interview about his ''bad ass'' character

My two cents...I read in one of Gregs columns how him and a couple of his buddies got into it with Mark Wahlburg and some of his bodyguards/security people at a night club in NY. Greg goes on to badmouth Mark and says that they beat up his bodyguard(or something to that affect)...I work out at Golds in Southie( South Boston), the same gym where Marks bodyguard trains...I would bet my net worth that this guy could kick Valentinos ass with one arm tied behind his back...Not only is the dude big, but he is a trained fighter. Ever since meeting Marks bodyguard, I always have it in the back of my mind that Greg is full of shit...

The cool thing about you, Tommy .... is that you know all those cats on Romano's list way better than most of us. So I respect your opinion way more than most! James Finnerty asked me yesterday how you were doing....
