The Pepamills 5 hardest men... EVER



1# Guvnor aka Lenny Mclean.. A bare knuckle boxer and a top Doorman, this guy was a monster and would have a tear up with anyone. The guy was respected all around the underworld and later in life wrote a great Autobiography and had a role in Lock stock and two smoking barrels. McLean stated that he had been involved in between 2,000 to 3,000 fights in his life on the streets or "cobbles", in pubs and clubs and in the ring. Many consider him the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in the sphere of unlicensed boxing.

2# Paul Sykes..This guy was a wakefield hard man who served time in prison for punching screws and coppers along the way he learnt how to deal with sharks, in the 80s he was the hardest man in Britain. Paul came out of prison and took up boxing and had some brutal fights as well as writing a book and making a documentary for tv (see paul sykes post for a sample).

3# Micheal Gordon Peterson aka Charles Bronson…What can I say the guy has been in sole confinement for over a decade and has been around more nicks than group 4. Initially jailed in 1974 for robbery, Bronson's sentence has been repeatedly extended and he has spent only three months out of custody. He has served 28 years of his time in prison in solitary confinement due to a number of hostage situations, rooftop protests like strange ways, repeated attacks on prison staff and on other inmates. His dangerous behaviour has meant that he has spent time in over 120 different prisons. In 2000, he received a discretionary life sentence (with a three year tariff) for a hostage-taking incident. His appeal against this sentence was denied in 2004.In 1999 a special prison unit was set up for Bronson and two other violent prisoners from Woodhill (HM Prison), to reduce the risk they posed to staff and other prisoners. For the past ten years, Bronson has occupied himself by writing poetry, producing pieces of art and has published ten books. Bronson is still a "Category A" prisoner and is currently being held at Full Sutton high security prison as of May 2007.Bronson Remains a "Category A" prisoner where he is still in solitary confinement. He is due for a parole hearing in September 2008.

4# Hugh Hefner…come on you seen the birds that man has laying around the house? With all that badger around he must be hard 24-7. Fuck that the real number 4 is Freddy Foxxx aka Bumpy Knux.

5# Anderson “the spider” silva and B J “The prodigy” Penn,
Although known primarily for his skills in Muay Thai, Silva is also a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he earned in 2006 from Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira. Silva has beaten Rich Franklin twice taking his belt, he has also beaten The Ultimate Fighter 4 winner Travis Lutter, Nate Marquardt, Chris Lebbon…Silva defended his UFC Middleweight Championship against Pride FC Welterweight champion Dan Henderson at UFC 82 .Silva is undefeated in the UFC, having won all of his fights in two rounds or less.Silva won his UFC Light Heavyweight debut against James Irvin on July 19, 2008 he is hoping to do what BJ and Randy have done.

Jay Dee "B.J." Penn (born December 13, 1978 in Kailua, Hawaii is an American professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who is currently the Ultimate Fighting Championship Lightweight Champion.He is the first American-born winner of the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship (Mundial) in the black belt category (2000).Penn is also the former UFC welterweight champion and after winning the lightweight title at UFC 80, he became the second man (after Randy Couture) to win UFC titles in two different weight classes.
