Jesus Christ - he's going to give the kids nightmares. He looks more likely to snatch children out of their bedroom windows and eat them than sing them lullabies.

No, he looks like the Gentle Giant he is.

Reminds me of when Krusty the Clown brought out Corporal Punishment.

He reminds me of The Friendly Giant from a TV program I watched as a child.

I'm sure he is, indeed, a gentle giant, but he is a pretty intimidating looking guy - just look at how tiny he makes the house next to him look!

He might have been a fraud as a champ, but between this and his political activities, he certainly seems to be trying to channel his celebrity in positive directions. Good for him.

Oh God has it come to this? Only kidding, I think its cool.

Makes me think of Arnold S. in the movie Kindergarten Cop and Al Bundy who took a job as a security guard at his old high school in an episode of Married With Children.

Little kids are probably into him.

Good for him, glad he is doing ok for himself. I thought Haye was out of order in the build up to their fight.

It's unfortunate that the acromegaly gives him the oddly shaped head, makes him look intimidating. He always struck me as a nice guy who didn't go for the sh*t-talking side of the sport. It's great to see him make something positive out of his celebrity status there.

Am I alone in thinking that the puppet bottom left of the photograph is Orville the Duck's Russian cousin.
