Most intimidating pre-fight staredown

[SalTheButcher]

There are some guys who psych their opponents out before the bell rings. Those few moments when the ref is giving his instructions are so crucial. Perhaps thats why Oscar looks at the ceiling rather than at his opponent. But the all time winner of this award is, hands down - LARRy HOLMES.

Although at the K-1 championships, Don Frye and Ken Shamrock had one of the best nose to nose staredowns ever.

the don frye ken shamrock staredown WAS intense...

that was a fun hype job that was done, and they legitimatley seemed to dislike each other

[dickilad90]

anyone got a link to the Don Frye and Ken Shamrock staredown please?

[SalTheButcher]

it was just intense cuz they were both pissed and shamrock put his face into fryes face and frye just pushed back and the crowd went crazy

[porkypara]

Benn Eubank 1 was very intense if my memory servers me corectly.

[BABABOOEY]

To me, Larry Holmes was the best. He looked like. . .just evil. Like his opponents must've been wondering, "What's wrong with this guy"?

But if you can catch the Shamrock-Frye, it was classic!

He was one scary mother lover i like how ali used to just talk non stop shat , that showed he had no fear. although i cant stand tarver, the got any excuses tonight roy line is a classic and u could see rjj was scared by that.

Uh..no he wasn't. Tarver is an ass clown. George Foreman and Fraizer had a hell of a stare down, Fraizer didn't flinch either. Tyson used to scare them b4 the staredown even. He'd be in his corner pacing back and forth like a lion and then look up at his opponent, that scared the shat outta most of em, particularly Spinks.

VITALI KLITSCHKO...Kirk Johnson pissed himself right then and there. Lennox looked a little worried too.


but by far the best of the best PRIME BIG GEORGE FOREMAN!!! Most intimidating fighter EVER

[pacdog]

Tyson had a great stare down
Holyfield just looks mean so his stare down was always cool because he never looked intimdated by anyone and than can be intimidating in it self
hagler
duran
foreman
frazier

[pacdog]

vitali not a good stare down looks like a goofy bastard not saying hew oudlnt scare you but he just looks goofy, same as riidick bowe
theres ugly like tyson or holyfield but its ugly with a rough character some guys are just ugly and goofy looking

[gyrokai]

George Foreman and Fraizer had a hell of a stare down, Fraizer didn't flinch either.

I agree, hands down, a staredown from a PRIME Foreman would be the most scariest ever!!!

He didn't even look frightened by Frazier... but in reality he actually was. He later said that he hoped Frazier would stare into his eyes, only because if Frazier looked down, that Foreman was afraid that he'd see his [Foreman's] legs shaking.

Foreman always looked intimidating when he was young. Always! haha

[Gandalf]

i agree-tysons staredown in the ring with mcneeley was scary.

Just moved his eyes from side to side as he followed mcneeleys eyes.

Not as scary as wat apened in the ring tho

mcneely: tyson has to be one of the most bizarre fights ever....tyson looked pretty mean at the staredown stage....

mcneely boxed like a mentalist!!

[Bomp]

vitali not a good stare down looks like a goofy B****** not saying hew oudlnt scare you but he just looks goofy, same as riidick bowe
theres ugly like tyson or holyfield but its ugly with a rough character some guys are just ugly and goofy looking

not sure why, it just made me laugh

[pacdog]

thanks I guess
In all seriusness thought his statement is true though, tyson, holyfield, fraziers, formenas may not be particularily model types but they have a character to their mean look, there are some that are just plain ugly, kind of like a hemi barracuda sure i doesnt look like a sexy corvette or ferrari which is like having a hot blonde but its a mean ugly in a cool way, now a edsel is just plain ugly

[The_One77]

Hearns was scary
But it has to be Frazier-Foreman...you could feel the tension

[El Gamo]

Don't know about anyone 1 particular stare down but i KNOW IF dURan,Foreman or Tyson were staring at me like that,I'd cack my pants!
