These living legends take bullets, piss their name in cement and blow themselves up - all before breakfast.
Aron Ralston
Have you ever sawn off your own arm with a blunt knife after it became trapped under a boulder? Didn’t think so. Seppo mountain climber Aron did, and he plans on climbing Mt Everest later this year.
Chopper Read
Chopper admits to being involved with the killing of 19 people, but that doesn’t make him special. It’s cutting off his own ears with a razor blade and robbing drug dealers that makes him hard-as. Or nuts.
Eric “The Eel” Moussambani
Sure, he looked more pathetic than tough in the pool at the Sydney Olympics, but for a bloke who’d only ever swum in a 20m hotel pool, 100m was his Mt Everest.
Fedor Emelianenko
This Russian KO machine might not look like much, but he’s arguably the world’s best heavyweight MMA fighter and pretty much un-killable by conventional means.
Charles Bronson
Not the actor, the most violent crim in the Pommy prison system. Bronson has spent 30 years in solitary confinement, where he belts out 2500 push-ups a day.
Jim Rose
This fearless head of a freak show troupe leads by example, stapling cash to his forehead, hammering long nails into his nostrils and getting his show banned in New Zealand. Harden up, Kiwis.
David Grounds
Florida bloke who rescued his mutt from a 2.5m alligator by prising its jaws open and poking it in the eye, before it took off with a few fingers. Man – a dog’s best friend.
Martin Strel
He’s fat and swims in places we wouldn’t piss. The Slovenian endurance swimmer has braved sharks, piranhas, pollution, crocs and those freaky fish that swim
up your cock to swim the Amazon, the Danube and the Mississippi.
He’s the current heavyweight UFC champion of the world, and if this 120kg human Coke-dispensing machine found out we didn’t put him on this list, he could turn us into human pretzels.
Joe Egan
Irish heavyweight Joe was dubbed by Mike Tyson as “the toughest white man alive” after taking hundreds of beatings as his sparring partner. His website says he can “piss his name into concrete”.
