Jean Claude van Damme?!?! Are you kidding? The dude fights in coreographed movies.
Anyways, I would say the toughest man would have to be that dude who sawed off his own arm when he was trapped on that rock or whatever. I don’t remember the details, but damn you gotta be tough to do that. Either that or any soldier who has experienced combat. I can’t even imagine how tough that must be.
Um, Mr. T of course.
Toughest Man EVER:
Samuel L Jackson’s Character in Pulp Fiction. He was a bad motherfucker. He was so bad his WALLET even said “bad motherfucker”. IMAGINE what his ID said.
Toughest Man Ever to LIVE:
Pick a Spartan…any Spartan.

Though certainly brought to the fore many important fitness and martial concepts, shouldn’t be on the list.
You should be punched in the scrotum for that one.
Just about any of 'em.
One of my favorite heavyweights, at least when watching his old fights.
Dayum straight. You know, that test (as he calls it) he’s undergoing? He’s kicking it’s ass. Every day.
That’s just a notch or two over van Damme. And that’s only because one of our black belts sparred with him “in the day.” Striking ability was above-par, but no grappling skills to claim.
Attila. Dayum straight. I would also put Genghis Khan on the list.
And my grandfather. Tough old man. Works his ass off, makes tons of sacrifices. Never says it, but I know he does a hell of a lot for me.
And Jesus. He was all, “your ass is going to stick me to this heavy-ass piece of lumber, but first, you want me to carry it? Bitch, hand that over.”
And that guy who gets to the gym at 5 in the morning, busts out the chin-ups, the deadlifts, the squats, and the cleans, showers, goes to a job he hates so his family can lead a good life, comes home, spends time with his kids, helps his wife around the house, and makes sure everyone knows they are loved, protects them outside dangers, and puts his kids straight when they go wrong.
And my mother. Though not a man by any stretch of the imagination, she has to be one fo the toughest people e’er to walk the earth. To deal with raising my smart-ellick ass, a second son with Bi-Polar and depression, and a third son with Down’s Syndrome, and dealing with an absolute waste of human packing material of a husband, and still being a sweet woman for it, she would have to be.
My momma could hand Attila his ass.
In a brown paper sack.
With a heart drawn on it.
Here are a few from my list, in no particular order:
- Bartholomew (from New Testament)
- William Wallace
- Gen. George Patton
- John McCain
- Nelson Mandela
And if you need an actor in your list, at least let it be Lenny “The Guvnor” McLean.
If you need a boxer, let it be George Chuvalo or Tex Cobb. Tyson and Ali didn’t have amazing chins–they were just amazing fighters.
As for Van Damme–are you serious? I think I’d put Steve-O from Jackass above him.

Amen. I believe we have a winner.

without a doubt the guy who sawed his own fucking arm off…
do this for me… look at your, stare at it, now imagine how much it would hurt to stick a blade to it… now imagine sawing your arm off, including the bone, for about 15 minutes (thats how long it took him) with a knife
world toughest fucking man
(although I do give an honorable mention to your mom)

“Then we shall have our battle in the shade.”
Prb noone we’ve ever heard of. Definitely not a movie star.
MMA fighters would come close, but there are truly tough guys just living in the 'burbs, eking out an existence.
Waiting to explode.
what’s so tough about McCain? All he did was get shot down, then proceed to confess to everything he could and more…and co-operate with the NVA.
It’s in the record, look it up. It’s not popular, and it’s not pretty.
And of course, feel free to flame away. But look it up.
Navy SEALs get my vote. That BUDs training is some insane shit to go through.
Who put JC Van Damme and Chuck Norris on that list? Was that a joke?
I’d have put RoboCop on that list before they made it.
Floyd the barber.
a real tough guy wouldn’t be laughing and hugging the guy that’d bayoneted him…
Jesus. See “Passion of the Christ”
After being periodically slapped around for “three or four days” by his captors who wanted military information from him, which McCain claims he refused to give, providing only his name, rank and serial number, he realized he was in critical shape and called for an officer. He told the officer, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”
Regardless of the reasons, the offer to give “military information” in exchange for better treatment was a violation of the military Code of Conduct and Collaboration No. l.
The doctor, according to McCain, said about taking him to the hospital, “It’s too late.”
At that point, McCain knew he was in big trouble. According to information obtained by the U.S. VETERAN, the flier in desperation invoked the name of his famous father, Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. Forces in the Pacific.
And that was a violation of the Code of Conduct and Collaboration No. 2.
McCain admits that because of the Vietnamese having the knowledge of who his father was, he thus survived because they rushed him to the hospital. The Vietnamese figured that because POW McCain’s father was of such high military rank that he was of royalty or the governing circle. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured “the crown prince.”
Later, the Vietnamese would erect a monument in Hanoi near the site of his landing in the lake, stone figure of a pilot raising his arms skyward in surrender and referring to their catch McCain, by name, as an “air pirate.”
At the hospital his wounds were treated. He readily admits that other U.S. prisoners with similar wounds were left to die, pointing out "There were hardly any amputees among the prisoners who came back because the North Vietnamese just would not give medical treatment to someone who was badly injured. They weren’t going to waste their time.
"McCain has failed to mention in public what he has confided to another U.S. prisoner privately, that since the Vietnamese felt they had in their hands such a “special prisoner”, a propaganda bonanza, a Soviet surgeon was called in to treat him.
Sorry. I just have a special hatred for McCain.
But I’m with you on the SEAL thing!
Even some of the guys that wash out of BUDs are bad-ass mofos!
toughest man ever? that’s easy–adrien brody.
nuff said.
I was reading one of my old biker magazines on the week-end, and it was telling the story of this guy who was riding out in the country and had stopped for a piss. All of a sudden, BAM, he gets bitten on the leg by a snake.
Instead of freaking out, this guy grabs the snake, bites its head off and skins it. He uses the skin as a tourniquet (sp?) and rides to the nearest hospital. The hospital uses the snake skin to identify the snake and give him the proper drugs.
That, my friends, is tough.
