Means nothing unless he has endurance. In High school I was a 6’ 140 pound skinny geek who would regularly kick the ass of every top wrestler/football player in my school when we boxed no matter how big a body they had because I ran 15 to 20 miles a day as a cross country runner. They would be spent 2 minutes in and I would just be getting started and absolutely obliterate them every time. People like Mike Tyson realized that which is why he would go full out in the first round. But if you could avoid him for a few rounds he was like silly putty which is how Buster Douglas finally beat him. Muscle means crap, it really does. The men to fear are those who can run 10 miles without breaking a sweat I dont care how thin they are. I’m an old man now, but back in my prime, a photo like that wouldn’t scare me in the least - matter of fact it would do the exact opposite as I loved beating the sh*t out of boneheads like that.

At the trial didn’t Zimmerman’s trainer say he sucked at fighting?

That was just to lull a future opponent.

Well from the looks of Z after Trayvon got done with him at least he can take punch. :-)

Zimmerman is just not that bright.

The best thing for him to do would be to disappear for a while and get his life together. But, no, He wants to be a celebrity. That is not going to end well for him.

What George needs is a good friend and a councilor.

He has been through a lot and it’s natural that it impacted him severely.

The problem is that the poor guy probably can’t get any kind of decent job and doesn’t have any money, so he is accepting such offers, that he should turn down, but may not have too many options.

His entire world has collapsed around him.

I feel for him.

Yah, George had his 15 minutes of fame in not the most
positive of ways. He dismayed supporters with a few more
minutes of fame with a domestic violence rap. Now he wants
to play celebrity punch-out. George, time to sit down and
STFU.

And the Black Ku Klux Klan hate is all over the net...with the same stupid Black Racist theme...”he murdered Trayvon”...

Wonder what the Black KKK will do if Zimm wins?

I get your point, but Michael Jai White is a serious martial artist. Zimmerman was losing to Martin before the gun came out. I was only making a point that they would line up some huge Black guy that can fight and is a celebrity.
