    Default Who was more terrifying Mike Tyson or George Foreman?

    Or would you say Sonny Liston? Who was the most terrifying fighter of all time?

    There have been several scary fuckers in this sport. Tyson, Foreman, Liston to name just a few. The fighter who intimidated his opponents the most, though, was Joe Louis.

    Outside the heavyweights, there are Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Harry Greb, and the late great - and scary nutcase - Stanley Ketchell.

    Well Joe Lewis was called the Babyface killer so it's hard to get that terrified at a baby face. Definitely Marvin Hagler and to a lesser extent Tommy Hearns. Roberto Duran also it has to be in there with that terrible sneer

    Tyson was smaller than George so I would say Foreman.

    Tyson was probably wide as he was tall.

    I personally would be afraid of a crazy Ike.

    Easily Tyson I'd think. Never knew if he'd try to put your jaw in the back of your neck, break an arm or chew on your eyeball or bend you over the stool. Then the pacing. Foreman was menacing but low key, he'd stand stock still at refs instructions and just look a guy dead in the eyes, back and forth.
