if Christians are supposed to be "meek, weak, and turn the other cheek" as the bible allegdly states then why are the 3 greatest fighters of all time Christian?

Not what you think it means. It’s about defiance.

CHRISTIANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MEEK, BUT HUMBLE; NOT WEAK, BUT STRONG; «TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK» MEANS TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY WITH DIGNITY, AND TO RESIST WITH FORTITUDE.

When the bible says turn the other cheek it did not imply complete pacifism. All that really meant was that you didn't have to retaliate for a personal offense, especially one that is extremely minor. key words being "don't have to" as the bible also does encourage justified wars and retaliation. Hell, Jesus even drove the merchants out of the temple by threatening them with a whip.

Cumgenius is correct, actually. “Meek” is a bad translation. “Humble” is closer.
