I agree , how would you know how tough wise guys are ? Have you ever met one ?
Not all are tough and some are definately pussies I agree but Most were neighborhood guys with tempers and given how many did at least some collection and enforcing work in their early days could kick the shit out of your avg Joe , possibly such as yourself , they don't call it hard collecting for no reason
When the mob orders a beating,it usually isn't done in a one on one ufc type capacity lol
