Floyd Mayweather's bodyguard is the world's scariest human being

Floyd Mayweather and his bodyguards

Does the world's greatest boxer REALLY need someone that size to look after him?

There are lots of famous people who can't go out in public without a posse of massive security guards. Tiny little pop stars, tiny little X Factor judges, tiny little Hollywood actresses… these are the celebrities who need protecting.

But the world's greatest boxer? The man more adept at punching people in the face than any other living human? You would think he would be more than capable of looking after himself.

However, Floyd Mayweather Jr has always enjoyed doing things to excess - so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that he has not only hired a bodyguard, but the BIGGEST BODYGUARD IN THE WORLD.

We can't be sure Mayweather's security man, currently following him around in Milan, actually qualifies for that title. But look at the size of him!

The unbeaten boxing legend - who is visiting Italy during a break in his tour of the UK - probably doesn't need someone to watch his back, let alone a bloke of this enormity. After all, how the hell would an assailant ever get near the fastest boxer who's ever lived?

Still, in the mind of Mr Mayweather, the recruitment of this giant is probably nothing to do with security. For him, a huge security guard is just an accessory a man with his money should have.
