I'm taking Joe Louis! Shame on me if I don't!
Dick Butkus
Butkus and Tyson, great choices! Heck, just give me the entire 80s Pistons, they were mean bastards!
There are so many possibilities. There are some more obvious answers I'm sure. Maybe I'll have to come up with a couple. But when I saw the question @doubledragon for some reason this guy popped into my head. Strange pick, right? Of course he famously is a student of the "martial arts". And he doesn't even drink, afaik, but then again, neither do I.
Chief.
Greg Hardy comes to mind. big, strong MMA guy who is legitimately crazy
Similar thoughts, big, strong, crazy, but YOLO tats are a disqualifier
Serena Williams.
I always found this exchange particularly funny.
😂😂😂😂 That's a classic!
For some reason I found this so funny years ago that I showed it to my wife. Then we would make jokes about it. She knows very little about any specific players or athletes, but if I need to reference Hardy , all I need to say is ......cereal ... killed it... No spoon... 😂😂😂😂
And I'm proud to say he was a Carolina Panther! 😂😂
Ed "Too Tall" Jones seems like a man who could handle himself in a brawl!
No hockey enforcers so far?
My all time favorite...Semenko.
Dale Hunter was a dirty hockey enforcer, he seems like a guy I could depend on to grab a bottle and smash it over somebody's head.

Nah. Bad taste by choice. I deleted it.

Bubba Smith would be a good choice, he likes a good fight.
If you're in a bar fight, you need somebody crazy, not just tough.
I'm going with Ron Artest. Connor McGregor might not be a bad choice either because he's a trained fighter and crazy.
Bite him Al, bite him!
Now show eachother pictures of your ugly wives!
Derek Boogaard
also, Khabib Nurmagomedov
i'd be willing to absorb a punch just to see Khabib take the guy to the ground and put him to sleep
I would also have to choose Chuck Norris, he's one bad dude.
I prefer to take preventive measures.
That's why If I could choose any athlete ever to take to a bar it would be Andre the Giant.
Because in the history of the world there has never been anyone drunk enough to utter these words,
"Dude I don't care if you are Andre the Giants buddy prepare to get your #$% kicked!"
In the course of every human endeavor since the dawn of time the risk of human error has always been a factor. Including but not limited to field goals, 4th down attempts, or multiple paragraph ramblings on a sports forum authored by someone who shall remain anonymous.
Ben Davidson. Big, nasty and crazy...the trifecta!
Ronnie Lott.
It would be hard for me to get angry. I don't get angry a lot. The last time I got really angry was when I saw this Joe Louis hand puppet on eBay. It looks like he's wearing a dress!
Ahh good old bar fights. Brings me back to the early 90’s. I have multiple ones under my belt, thankfully back in my day a bar fight didn’t get you on the front page of the local newspaper and or on CNN. Bar fights are fast, chaotic and vicious since it’s usually dark and you don’t have much room. I’d much rather have an offensive lineman- pick anyone and I’m happy. A 300 pound earth mover is a good option from my experience lol
Greg Hardy, Vontez Burfict, Nah Suh, Bill Romanowski are some names that immediately come to mind if I have to name names though 👊👊👊👊👊
I will take tank abbott. guy was a beast and a legitimate crazy person. I will also take Fedor and chuck liddell in the car outside incase i need backup
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Jesse 'the body' Ventura
Ray Lewis would be in my top 5
Nolan
This is also a good one.
How about Don Frye?
It's sad about Takayama.
Edit: Nothing to see here.
It's a terrible shame what happened to him. That fight is tremendous but his work as a pro wrestler is even better. He went from being this guy who didn't quite understand his size and was awkward to being one of the two or three best wrestlers in the world with a gigantic list of great matches.
he said athlete not worthless loser
that is freddie mercury
who is that pro golfer bum thats a degenerate alcoholic ?
They call him John Daly and he loves Hooters!
if barney rubble came to life he would be john daly
Touche.
I have to say, John Daly is quite creepy, but not as creepy as this Tom Selleck doll.
oh, that is horrifying...
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
🥺
how is that tom selleck? he looks more like the guy that was married to Maude
Walter or summat
