The art of intimidation- Who are the most intimidating boxers today

As much as I agree with intimidation being a big factor in a lot of sports, in boxing most of the intimidation is a physical thing. Massive size and/or power bring you a long way.

Also doing it wrong can work the opposite way, just take a look at the Dirrell brothers and their pathetic barking.

 

Tyson Fury and by a lot

 

Has to be Fluid.

You know he's gonna be Fluid but there's nothing you can do as he uses Olympic style testing. You know he's gonna run and hug but what can you do anything when he's got all the judges, ref, commissioners....bought.

That's intimidating.

 

Kovalev

He's one mean and intimidating fukker

 

Problem with Tyson was like Jose Torres said he was also easily intimidated himself and a mental midget.

 

Robin Deakin of the United Kingdom

 

lol :rofl

The Russians do seem to have the advantage at the mo. Golovkin, Kovalev etc

A lot of the Americans just try and come off like pathetic gang bangers when they try - Brandon Rios esq or the Dirrells.

If Joshuas KO streak continues he might develop something

 

Tyson Fury is really good at getting into his opponents' heads, probably best today? I don't think Pacquiao or Golovkin do it on purpose, they're scary on fight night, not in the buildup. It's actually their previous body of work that's intimidating. Kovalev is a scary guy, if he doesn't like you, I think he can work the intimidation game very well. If he and Stevenson ever fight, I think he's going to have Stevenson nervous the week before the fight. People mentioned Floyd, he wasn't intimidating but he knew how to get in your head.

 

Chisora, he don't give a f..k
