Is my boyfriend a wimp?

I am newly dating this guy. I got cat called the other day pretty blatantly. My boyfriend wasn't there, but when I told him, he said he would talk to the guy. I was raised pretty southern and redneck, so I'm used to a lot of guys ready to fight other people. Is it normal that he just wants to talk to the guy and is trying to be civil, or is he wimpy? I don't want to seem like I'm criticizing him because I'm not, I just want to see if the whole growing up with guys ready to fight isn't the norm.
