"That was my list, exactly."

Abbe Lane

This is a good list, but I notice people are sticking to the heavyweights here. There have been some pretty scary customers in the other weights too.

Roberto Duran
Stanley Ketchell
Iran Barkley
Margin Hagler
Nigel Benn
Bob Foster

[Beanflicker]

This is a good list, but I notice people are sticking to the heavyweights here.

I list #2 as Julian "THE HAWK" Jackson, who was the p4p hardest puncher of all time!

[Sleepwalker]

The only thing frightening about Iran Barkley was his horrendous face...

[Beanflicker]

Iran was a gang member so I guess that's also scary.

[Beanflicker]

Iran brought a machete to the press conference before the James Toney fight. Guess it didn't really work because James gave him a monumental ass whipping.

Nigel benn and Gerald McClellan should be on the list. They were frightening monster punchers.

On Nigel Benn and Gerald McClellan.

While those Middleweights were tremendous punchers, they were just outside
the Top 10.

Both, Roy Jones and Billy Papke were more intimidating, based on overall talent.

On Iran Barkley. He was frightening in the 'ugly-as-sin' face department. But on
the overall, he's not Top 10 worthy.

[imp]

Vitali and oliver mccall would be in the front line of my army.

[Max Power]

I think I find Iron Mike more intimidating than Foreman.

Foreman never beat up anybody bigger than himself.

Mike Iced dudes the size of Foreman as if they'd never boxed a day.
