    Where are they?

    I want a boxer that strikes fear into the hearts of his opponent before they even get in the ring. Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston etc, bad, mean mother****as in and OUT of the ring.

    Are there any today I'm missing?

    And who else in history was like this? Hagler?

    I felt Valero had a bit of that. The guy was nuts. Also Kovalov seems to have that aura about him.

    How could I forget him!

    I was going to mention Kovalev, he did seem to show a bit of a nasty side in his last fight.

    Watch his earlier fights. Always nasty and remorseless.

    Tyson - scared the muthaf#k outta everyone.

    Edwin Valero - guy was a psychopath - scares hell outta me cos he got that proper insane kill or die look in his eyes that I remember from my da.

    Kovalev - this guy is a ferocious puncher who bears serious grudge - best quote: 'I wanted him to get up so I could hit him again'.

    Oh yeah...

    Ibeabuchi - crazy M'fka scared hell outta everyone - bit like Mike only genuinely insane - can you even imagine what this guy musta been like to be around?

    Gotta agree with Kovalev, well at least currently. He could so play in this image and really intimidate some potential opponents. This is why you gotta credit fighters like Buster Douglas though, putting this aside and just having the pure courage to go at it all guns blazing.
