    He came over my house the other day in a full sized mercury, and he can't turn the steering wheel without holding his breath! He told me if he had to make an emergency turn he wouldn't be able to do it. :eek:

    He can be very nice :D ...
    but he also has offered to be a "collection agent" for me for customers that don't pay. I think his words were "hey do you need me to brake any legs".:D

    the crazy thing is.. why do they ALWAYS match a big guy like that with other guys who are 1/3 his weight? Do you really think a 250lbs guy can beat a 700lb guy? C"mon. match him with another wrestler who is the same size.. then that would be a match to watch..

    I wanna see him wrestle a 900 lb bear or something.. winner takes all .:)

    Its fun to watch him toss around a 350 pounder. I don't think he could lift someone his own size over his head. If you seen this guy in person would find it amazing that he is as agile as he is. You would think he could barely roll out of bed. His calves are gigantic. Probally as big as my waste! I'm 205 and 6 foot.

    The video doesn't do him justice. He is down to 600LBS now. He peaked at 700. I'm not sure what he was at in that video. I doubt it was 700. He is definitely the biggest guy I have ever meet by far.

    Mike looked close to 600lbs in the vid.

    When I worked at the hospital, I had a 900lb man/thing come in once. He couldn't stand on his own, and it took four of us just to pull him from laying flat to an upright sitting position to eat. He was the largest human I've ever seen.

    And to quote him, "I am not sick.. I just have an eating problem." Ya whatever dude.

    Not to get gross, but he was so fat, (and me being a nursing tech and all), I got to clean him up a few times since he couldn't himself... his junk was covered completely by fat. I mean completely. It was seriously like the Predator's head... the four jaws of fat flesh closed around his junk.. it was the nastiest thing I've ever seen. He'd lose an entire sandwich in his fat rolls... just disgusting.
