Thread: Most intimidating fighter

Who are your top fighter for scaring the crap out of you.

Loads to mention but I will start with Tyson, Liston, Hagler, Forman.

Know this has probably been done before but what they hell lets catch up

well as ya mention Tyson had to be the most intimidating, but also Hopkins with his gimp sorry executioner mask, made me think who the hell is this animal !

On the other side we could go for Donny LaLonde

George Foreman the best of the best

As a young child i remember near shitting myself at leon spinks with that big toothless face of his

Chavez and Duran at their best springs to mind.

Eamonn Magee looks like one serious nasty bastard.

Iran Barkley is a scary looking funker.

To me, 3 of the greatest intimidating persons of all time:

Mike Tyson
Roberto Duran
Aaron Pryor

I would say Mike Tyson before his lost to Buster Douglas. He was a beast during his prime. That lost somehow destroyed his aura of invincibility.

Would have to agree. He just seemed to make his opponent quit mentally before a punch was thrown.

Tyson. Would you want to step in with him in his prime?

Buster Douglas got very, very, very lucky to face the Tyson he fought.

Yep, just look at Big Frank Bruno's ring entrance in the second fight, crossed himself about 200,000,000 times before he got to the ring

Muhammad Ali... not in the same way that Yson or Liston were... he didn't look like a thug etc but if you were going to fight him...

He acted CRAZY, at times unpredicable but always confident and assured. Confidence alone makes you more intimidating (in my opinion) than snarls, throwns and stares etc ever will... makes you seem insecure.
