Did not think of all your good points!

As for Laraque, I found out he likes to challenge many athletes. I think the last one was a in-line skater and he lost to her. And from what I read he has a Trek bike but does not use it that much although he loves cycling. And stats read that he's near 290 pounds - at 6'3'' (but seriously, he does not look heavy at all being in top shape). I guess his muscle mass must be high.
