There's pictures of him in the booking where he's hitting a body bag while stationed somewhere when he joined the army or something as a kid. Not hard to figure that was somewhat of a hobby for him. He also prides himself as somewhat of a health nut in the book, saying he never smoked cigarettes and became a vegetarian.

With that said, yes he was short in size, but a health nuts usually tend to be more agile and have more stamina than most, it's possible Al used that to his advantage.

Anyway, Al's book is okay, I like the parts where he speaks about the old timers like Davie Petillo and how crazy he was.

I'll just say that I read it a little while ago and thought it was OK- worth buying.

Colombo capo Big Sal Miciotta was a close friend of DiLapi's. During the time DiLapi was on the lam, Miciotta kept track of him through DiLapi's brother. "Anthony was a genuine tough guy," Miciotta recalled. "He was goodhearted. He had good morals, good backbone, good character. He was lethal, if pushed, or ordered. We met in Allenwood Federal Prison Camp. I was in there with Burt and all them guys. Al D'Arco was there at the same time. D'Arco and DiLapi were like oil and water. D'Arco played the tough guy in the can. He slapped around stupid whitecollar kids in on bullshit beefs like marijuana or bank fraud. They weren't made guys. They couldn't defend themselves. Beating on them was like beating on nine-year-old children but D'Arco would beat on them anyway. DiLapi would tell him to leave them alone. Little Al was tiny. He was always trying to prove how tough he was. A bona fide tough guy doesn't have to do that. DiLapi and D'Arco had screaming arguments. They were in the same family but there was a serious feud -- and as a made guy you should never do that in public. DiLapi made D'Arco look like an asshole and D'Arco knew it. D'Arco developed a severe grudge against DiLapi. He hated Anthony because Anthony saw him for what he was -- a bully. That was why he had arranged for his son to be the one to kill DiLapi. He wanted to make sure his son did it. You have to wonder. What kind of person would send his son on a piece of work like that?"
