I don't think anyone here is claiming that all it takes is hardship to make you tough, it's obviously a combination of several factors. But yeah, on average it's fair to say that a random dude from the favela is tougher than your average privileged journalist.Demian Maia would destroy Thiago in a fight. One of them is a fairly privileged journalism and martial arts student from Sao Paulo, the other one is a paramilitary policeman who deals with some of the craziest urban gang violence in the world on a daily basis. See if you can work out the difference there.
Maia is obviously an exception and not the norm.
