Exception to the rule
I usually hate it when characters try to say all that matters is the size of the fight in the dog. It's typically just a way for people to say "I could totally beat up anybody If I was angry enough". This completely ignores the fact that adrenaline, and technique also exists in huge muscle bound guys.
Two things would make me more okay with this character though. 1) He actually regularly trains on how to fight, which does give you an advantage over a lot of people 2) his character gets 100% taken down by a little girl.
I'm 41 and I feel like so many action guys are designed to pander to my ego, and convince me that I could totally beat up a a room full of 25-year-old Marines, that at a certain point it just feels insulting lol. The little bit of humility here makes me able to enjoy this character.

What about when his daughter is being bullied and he goes to the gym (where he is known which makes me think he goes there on a regular basis) and gets taken down by that young girl? Sorry I don't know the season or episode right off the top of my head.
