    We will never see it in action, but Sam Langford seems to have intimidated many much larger opponents into submision.

    Barbados Joe Walcott likewise.

    I get that too man, that coldness he gives off especially with his dead-pan face, for some reason reminds me of that speech in Jaws talking about the sharks eyes being lifeless and like a dolls...creepy ****

    If you were a featherwight fighting Sandy Saddler wouldve been intimidating give how big he was for a feather as well as his crazy amout of KO's and dirty tactics

    Dunno why but Tony Galento would make me **** my pants, he seems like the type of dude who would knock you out just for looking at him funny

    I remember either Mike Rossman or Mark Tessman saying "All of us wanted a title shot. But none of us really wanted to fight Bob Foster".
