Joshua is the most intimidating fighter since, if not even more intimidating than, SONNY LISTON

    Your interpretation of robbery is different than mine.

    Also David Haye isn't that tall really. Here you have him with legit 6'2" 1/2 Bellew: [url]https://www.google.se/search?biw=360&bih=310&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=N7-6Wre6DYOPmwXK4r1g&q=tony+bellew+david+haye&oq=tony+bellew+david+haye&gs_l=mobile-gws-img.3..0i30j0i8i30.7745.16035..16504...0....170.2213.4j14..........1..mobile-gws-wiz-img.......0j35i39j0i24j0i13.FU+KUaiMQDY=#imgdii=9bdAZQspRAH7-M:&imgrc=HBRqnoOrpS5RDM[/url]:

    Parker and 6'2.5" Bellew: [url]https://www.google.se/search?q=joseph+parker+tony+bellew&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBqaGiwo3aAhXDBZoKHTzxDgIQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=HNLKaU1eeibgwM[/url]:

    Here Bellew looks to have shoe advantage on Parker: [url]https://www.google.se/search?q=joseph+parker+tony+bellew&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBqaGiwo3aAhXDBZoKHTzxDgIQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=Slt4aSatOMstVM[/url]:

    From another angle: [url]https://www.google.se/search?q=tony+bellew%2Bjoseph+parker&hl=sv&noj=1&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3n9jOyI3aAhUpJpoKHT8sBDAQ_AUIqwEoAg#imgrc=BvcEs3JJfUUMSM[/url]:

    Parker looks to be about the same.

    Physically he's intimidating that's pretty obvious, he's tall, huge and built like he's carved out of granite. Along with his KO streak and power he's the most intimidating heavyweight right now.

    But in terms of his personality and how he portrays himself he's far from intimidating. He's also shown too many flaws to be regarded as the most intimidating ever. Tyson was far more scary as was Foreman.

    The most intimidating fighter of all time is Mike Tyson. Mike was a true thug who could get set off by anything. There are stories of grown men sh!tting their pants when mike walked in a room. I dont think AJ is scaring anyone with his tea drinking accent and life coach comments.

    Utter BS. Tyson is. I'd even say comeback Vitali was more imposing. Lewis & Ike etc also spring to mind..

    It's kinda funny that AJ feels that he needs to. "Humble, let what I do in the ring speak for itself, you know how it is"... next minute, try and loom over a fellow champion.

    I think Joe is not at all worried about it, if anything he's encouraged by it.

    His "aura" is riding around with his friends on a bunch of ATV's mostly naked looking like they're about to film an adult movie then running to social media to show off a photo of said gathering.

    And saying a bunch of black supremacy BS.

    Very unlikable fighter. Don't see anything intimidating about him other than his on-paper record. Similar intimidation is given off by, say, Deontay Wilder or Alexander Povetkin.

    I think we can agree outside the ring he isn't intimidating but if you are a 5'9- 6-3 HW and you are doing a face off or in the ring against a man who stands 6'6 with roided muscles coming out from every inch of his brolic frame, then it would be natural to feel intimidated.

    Have you seen the size of just his arms alone?

    right here!

    I don't think the thread starter was born when Mike was terrorizing HW's.

    I was at my Chiropractor a couple of years ago and in walks Tyson, Tyson looks old and out shape but you can just feel that this is still a bad boy...

    Yes well the Idol worship is pretty bad imo,how that superior race thing just got swept under the table was incredible.
    Does nobody know he’s been a drug dealer,I mean it’s easy to play the nice guy image with millions in the bank.
    Think I’d dress up as Mother Theresa for that money lol
