He is arguably one of the best athletes professional sports has seen in the 21st century.

He then lands a couple more after Peterson can\u2019t seem to keep his balance while charging at him. Eventually, the NFL vet gets his hands on the man and shows off his superior strength. But it doesn\u2019t stop him from taking more strikes from his faster foe. It\u2019s a very surprising watch because Peterson is only 40 years old and a few years from being in NFL shape. Yet, this average Joe was surprisingly able to get the best of the former football star. It adds to the case that Peterson may be nowhere near as good a fighter as he is a football player.
