Anybody can be a tough guy sneaking up behind you and putting two behind your ear.

But how many of these guys (the younger generation) could actually fight. No pipes, chains, just a good old fashioned ass kicking.

I know Gotti Sr. and probably John Alite could kick some serious ass. And some of those Bath Ave. kids were tough especially Tommy "TK" Reynolds.

But what about all these fat ass guys who couldn't run half a block? Phil Leonetti never struck me as a real tough guy. I'm sure that guy who sells cars now from Philly, he seems like a real bad ass.

But who were some of the legendary tough guys with just their fists? No bats, pipes or guns.

Thanks,
