        Theo Roosevelt boxed a shit ton of people as well until he went blind in one eye from a punch from one of his staff if I remember correctly. Gave a pretty long speech after being shot in the torso and had the foresight to make sure they didn’t kill the shooter. Tough guy. Lots of horse riding and outdoors in his life.

        Bro used to wrestle bears. He was a not great lawyer, he was however an amazing athlete by all acvounts. Marfans and possible heds is a weird combo (trust me) you’ve got leverage and undue flexibility, add some strength and you basically have a gimped octopus.
