It's pretty impressive that he had the strength and feat to kill 2 people within mere minutes.


He was 46 years old at the time of the murders with football injuries. Yet, he was able to kill 2 people including a fit 25 year old waiter with a karate belt. Yet, all OJ "suffered" was a mere cut to his finger.

Very impressive.

There were claims that OJ was on steroids for years and had just quit cold turkey shortly before the murders. One juror remarked about the first time she saw him, saying how freakishly huge he was in real life.

Charlie Murphy once said that when he first saw OJ Simpson in person, he was astonished at how big his head was!

One of them was a woman half his size. That doesn't matter in the movies these days (if anything, movies depict women like the superior when it comes to physical combat), but in the real world it does.

He also had a knife. Being armed would have been a huge advantage. And he was still a very strong man, even with bad knees. He could have taken out the waiter fairly quickly, especially if he surprised them. At that point it's a former NFL player with a knife against his ex wife...

He had Viking blood.

HYPOTHETICALLY!!!

Not really. Do some research on murders.

It’s hard to fight back against a psychotic Heisman Trophy winner when they catch you by surprise.

It funny to see you propping up Goldmans physical prowess, while downplaying O.Js. O.J was an elite athlete among elite athletes, and the other guy was a waiter. Even past his prime it isn't close. Go watch pros vs joes to see how much better washed up professional athletes are than regular workout warriors.

He sucker punched Goldman, did the same to Nicole. Then quickly stabbed Goldman several times and again, did the same to Nicole. There was very little strength or skill involved. Do you know how fast you go unconscious/collapse after getting stabbed in the heart? Within seconds. Getting stabbed in the throat is almost as fast.
