Obama was fit in that he wasn't fat. But he was soft and I bet just about any other president could kick his squirelly arse.

He was almost certainly more fit than any president in the last 50 years while in office. I also doubt any president in modern times has been in a real fight in their adult life and certainly will never be in one once they were out of office.

Not sure why it pains people so much to give him his fitness due it isn't like there are plenty of really fit people that are stupid and plenty of horribly out of shape ones that are great leaders.

W was pretty fit. Dumb as a box of rocks. But fit.

Yeah, he could bring up that bullshite reasoning with Mike Tyson.

I don’t think even Obama would claim to be such.

Teddy Roosevelt

This is the correct answer.

TR was a beast. When he left office, he went on an expedition through the Amazon that nearly killed him. The guy had a boxing ring in the White House, and went on big game hunts all over the world. He organized obstacle courses for his "Tennis Club" while in the White House. Those often involved swimming rivers, climbing mountains, and rock climbing.

Teddy is top of mind and Andrew Jackson was probably a fit MF’r prior to his presidency.

Recently it’s Barry and Bush 43.

Guarantee every president before Obama got in a fight after their 18th birthday. Trump probably not because he was a rich spoiled shite and acted like it. Biden was a government employee since he had hair on his peaches. Obama was a femme bitch. All the other ones almost certainly got in a scrap. Also, most of the ones before that fought in wars, which I would consider about on par with getting in a fight in the context you're trying to shoehorn your coke head DL hero into.

Great hands, and a feared blocker at tight end, Abe also blocked several kicks as a special teams ace.

I doubt W got into a fight. His mom may have beat him, but I doubt he fought.

Same with Clinton - just because you’re a rapist doesn’t mean you can fight.

W worked on oil crews and was a drunk. He fought.

Clinton is 50/50 I guess. I side with Arky hick getting into it.
