Maximus figured out a way to meta-game this little test that would let him thrive when the REAL competition started. The Romans had a saying that "the tallest poppy gets cut down first," and hiding the fact that he was the best fighter in the whole bunch lets Maximus be a big fish in a small pond. He realizes the gladiators are being sorted into "red" and "yellow" classes, with the stronger fighters being red. He was hiding his power level (so to speak) so he'd be classed as yellow, facing weaker opponents. Proximo has something different in mind, pairing yellow and red fighters into two-man teams for a tournament melee - but it still works out for Maximus because instead of being given a weak "yellow" ally, he gets to fight with a strong 'red ally," Juba, and they are easily the most bad-ass team in the melee.
@@LockdLoaded619 yeah exactly big guy would destroy poor minimus...a Roman general that actual got his hands dirty, lol no such thing existed, them roman generals never fought them selves. fighting is for plebs!, the low educated and the fools, much like in current times.
The fact that there are _several_ comments down there sincerely believing that this was some kind of metagame from Maximus to "hide his powerlevel" to have better chances as a gladiator, instead of him just plain _refusing to fight,_ baffles me. I mean, is not as if that wasn't one of the most famous movies of the last few decades, whose most famous scene is Maximus bellowing "Are you not entertained?" with utter contempt.

I really like that Maximus looks solidly and powerfully built without having a six-pack as if he came out of a modern day gym.
It was noted I think by Plutarch that gladiators were vegetarian and it made them “flabby” but were indeed strong. They ate alotta beans
Haha or like he came out the CGI, al la 300
