Mark Potter is a 'cage fighter' and would f*cking smash everyone person put forward on this thread.


Are you SERIOUS?

He fights in a minor league regional MMA organisation, he doesn't even fight in BAMMA - the largest MMA organisation in the UK.

He'd get his add handed to him in the UFC!!!


so would mike tyson a few years ago .........look at him now !!!!!!

Thing is mate, Tyson would probably get his add handed to him in his prime as well.

If he fought a high level UFC Heavyweight - it'd be game over. They'd find a way to take him down pretty quickly and then he'd get beaten up or submitted fast.

Still in terms of hard men would of beaten Roy Shaw and Lenny in a fight.

Are we talking hard men or boxing now?

If it's boxing then Lennox Lewis is the answer.


I'll just re-post this for 12th Man.

Andy mCnab or chris ryan.. S.a.s men who were involved in the bravo2zero mission in the first iraq war.. They dnt come much tougher than them pair! I suppose any s.a.s soilder must be as hard and as tough as they come, the selection prosses they go through would destroy most men lol

frazier wrote:Mclean and Shaw were certainly tough men but both boxed professionally and didn't rise to the top, that says a lot I think, indeed Mclean was knocked out in the first round twice in his brief boxing career and Shaw struggled to beat an injured Ron Stander, an american journeyman. There is a fella from Cardiff who was incredibly tough and a devastating street fighter, he's getting on a bit now but few if any ever got the better of him, his name is Marlo Offside.

I used to work with Marlo's nephew I think, Joe and he was quite embarressed by the fact his uncle was a hard nut but all the same confirmed it but said his days of fighting are behind him. I think if we're talking sports men in particular footballers then surely Stuart Pearce, Vinnie Jones, Roy Keane and Duncan Ferguson deserve a mention?

It was only a story like all the rest false names everything :o For f**k sake if u think your hard join MMA that will sort the men from the boys .


quote="Lee Macca"]I am going to tell you about my mate Gavin Mac ebbw vale he has not got a massive reputation but he should have. Seriously he has had a bad time lately and now his head is gone big time , I went to swansea for a night out with him about 4 weeks ago and what i seen him do will stay with me forever. He was approached by a group of BIG lads who clearly work out regularly and a fight started , Gavin knocked 2 out in a blink of an eye, He kicked the first boy up under his jaw and dropped him instantly and then before he even brought his foot back down he superman punched the other and dropped him out cold . The other boys were now scared as their hardest was out. But gavin didn't stop He kicked the boys feet from under him and slammed his head into the ground with his hand splitting the boys skull open , this caused alot of blood to flow and bouncers to come . Gavin tryed to explain to the bouncers what happened but they tried to manhandle him out of the club Big mistake as my M8 is just so fast he slammed his elbow into this guys face 3 times fast as f**k and split him open WIDE , He just sat on the floor like a big fat c**t dripping with blood and clearly dazed. The other bouncer got the worst of it thoe , Gavin let his hands go on him and all he could do was cover up and take a massive beating He smashed him up so bad that this guys head was swelled right up and it looked like he had a crushed cheekbone as his face was disfigured but it was hard too see with the blood . My M8 is an animal but he does not like to fight he has 3 children to look after and a girlfriend who he adores. Gav is only about 13 stone the same as paul woods mentioned above.
I wish you could of been there to hear the noise his connections made and seen it for yourself it was amazing .
And 1 last thing i went to walk the dogs with him recently and he was feeding a horse which bit his fingers, and what happened next was sick gavin smashed the horse with his fist and knocked it down the horse was throthing at the mouth and spazzaming on the floor uncontrollably so we just ran off . P.S For animal lovers out there we went on a walk again and the horse is fine .. So this is proof its the quiet ones to watch out for .[/quote]

It's not about how hard you are, it's about how smart you are. Or how fast you can run :D
Anyone is hard with a loaded Desert Eagle in their hand.

Well the Hardest man ive ever seen with my own eyes? Id have to say My Old Man. Ex para and only 5ft4 ive seen many people think nothing of him only to end up on their arse thinking what the f**k just happend.
But in 1996 my elder brother got into a bit of trouble and had two large guys at my front door baying for blood, the two guys were call Micheal and Philip Ambree (Both jacks might add) anyways cut a long story short my wee man told em to do one and philip threw a punch which my pops ducked and pinned him on the floor two quick chin punches and phill was sleeping
meanwhile Micheal took a swing with a motorcycle helmet missing wildly he got pinned against the fence and recived a barrage of punches also leaving him limp on the floor.
My Dad who has a host of boxing and judo medals from his time in forces walked away hardly touched or sweating...so not to be out done the brothers picked themselves up and rode off on the bike and threw a brick through my dads car window.

Scummy Jacks..

James Cracknell, not in a thuggish bully boy way but a toughness that is second to none, anyone who has done endurance events would understand the pain barrier the guy has gone through, he is something else.
