Who is the most badass boxer of all time?

Clubber Lang

 

Mike Tyson all day long. Guy didn't beat people, he took a piece of them.

 

I mean from flyweight to ya mama's weight lol, actually from middleweight to heavyweight lol, toney took on all comers. A beautiful defensive style mixed with violent offence, fought all the pound for pounders in the 90s in great thrilling fights. Was essentially weight drained for Jones Jr. But ressurected his career at cruiser and heavy weight where they are monsters! Beat Vasily jirov in a great cruiserweight fight, took on all the giants at heavyweight with only a middleweight punch and the speed of a middleweight. People understand he put it all on the line to risk it for us guys the audience. He has huge balls and is definitely a true fighter not a team sport player!

 

IN...NOOOO...WAYYYY!

 

Hagler

He specialized in breaking true badasses

 

Get a grip man. It’s embarrassing how obsessed you are.

 

For me… Toss up between Marciano and Vitali. When I hear ‘badass’ I just automatically think of fearlessness, iron chin, power, strength and a killer instinct.

Fighters that flap their lips constantly, are loudmouth’s, Dodge primes of opponents, use iv’s while saying “I.. I.. I just wanna a c.. c.. clean sport!”, get busted for PED’s while their opponents test clean, bring opponents personal lives and race into it, are bad role models for kids that watch the sport, beat up 90lb prostitutes in their hotel room then claim she was “Tryna steal muh wallet”, use every excuse in the book after a lose, act low class…. To me that’s just a ***** ass fraud and NOT a ‘badass’ of any kind.

The champs that work hard, carry themselves with class, let their fists do the talking… they are badass. Many of those. But the two I mentioned up top were the main ones to come to mind.

 

Marvin Hagler.

 

Ivan Drago >>>>> Clubber. Come on now

 

Marvin Hagler, Ricardo Mayorga, Sonny Liston, Johnny Tapia, Tony Galento, Mike Tyson, Mickey Ward, James Toney, Jōichirō Tatsuyoshi, Jack Dempsey, Lucas Matthysse, Sot Chitalada, Marco Antonio Barrera, Vic Darchinyan, Marcel Cerdan, Juan Ruiz.

Question asked can be interpreted myriad ways, but a piece of what you might be looking for is represented by each of those guys, in spades.

 

Conventional Western ideals of masculinity + background - i.e Ex cons, gangbangers, mob connections, blue collar image.

 

Chechens here in Caucasus have warrior reputation and some of the fighters that i have seen in person were special even sparred with some of them. Too bad they're Putin's dogs now

 

Roberto Duran was the most menacing

 

Prime Mike Tyson.

 

Jack Johnson
