Liston Took A Dive And Ali Hasn't Got 1 Vote Yet

Ali was too much of the funny comedian to be thought of as scary. Definitley the most talented though IMO

I think after Big George smashed Frazier around the ring, no fighter had more fearsome a reputation. Here was the Heavyweight champ, conqueror of the great Muhammed Ali being obliterated. The way he lifted Joe off the ground must have scared the shit outta all his possible opponents!

Louis & Tyson def.

McCallum as far as boxing goes.

Good call on McCallum, no one wanted anything to do with him until he was getting old. He wasn't afraid to go into the ring against a sledge hammmer such as Julian Jackson.

Earnie Shavers had scary punching power, Joe Frazier and Geoge Foreman wanted nothing to do with him.

Scariest Fighter...
Scariest Fighter...

Of course you have the obvious...Tyson, Liston, Hagler, Foreman...

Outside of that, Carlos Monzon was a scary fellow outside of the ring.

Theres a picture of Ray Robinson missing Jake La Maotta with a left uppercut, the look of sheer animalistic aggression on his face was terrifying to me as a child.

Gerald McClellan was an intimidating Fighter in and out of the ring.

Roberto Duran was thought of as some sort of devilish abomination cast upon the Lightweight division in his prime.

Ezzard Charles, although a fine boxer was feared because of his mean streak in the ring. The same mean streak that forced Marciano to have a hole ripped through his flesh in order to breathe through the bloody mess Charles left in place of Rocky's nose.

Rubin Carter was always tilting back and forth between deadly focus, and the other extreme of not giving a damn about boxing at all. If you were going to go up against him you better pray that it's one of his off days, God help you if it isn't.
