Papabear is rugby brother so I always got his back. I'm not "a big dude" actually, I'm too thin for football and rugby like Floyd which is why I had concern initially. He is another level athlete from me, but I'm sure Mongo or other football players would pancake us both if they could catch us.
Rugby beat the shit out of me, I only lasted 3 years and was never the low man, but locks require leverage and strength which I have. It's more a speed and endurance game when you aren't in the shit, but I was in the shit too much.
It's taken me 5 years to heal most of the joint damage. Not a great sport to start after age 30!
Just tried to get the thread on topic and I do feel I am similar to Floyd in build, if you poisoned him with some marshmallow McClellan genetics, I wasn't naturally strong but learned to lift really really hard, almost psychotic to the point of injury to compensate and will myself into a monster, made it to lean 247 before 100 mph car accident derailed me. On thin bones that's huge. He can do it and has every advantage I never did so he just had to want it.
