which boxer is the most intimidating for you?

Hearns or Tua. Hearns, he's freaking tommy Hearns!!! His reputation from kronk and that killer right hand. Tua: try being a hw vs him on the day of the weigh-in, scary physique especially to smaller/weaker fighters. Chris Byrd said he couldn't sleep at night as David weighed in at 235 lean!. When Leonard beat tommy, sugar rays wife said she saw something special in rays eyes after the fight, knowing that he had to reach down deep and do something out of the ordinary, different than most people.

 

Amir Khan obviously

 

Mikkel Kessler. He just can't be that good looking and kick my ass too. Very intimidating!

 

Angry Vitali.

Look at his center ring face off with Corrie Sanders and tell me that wouldn’t make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little bit. Lol

 

No one comes close to a prime Mike Tyson, Liston and Foreman gotta be up there though. Duran aswell I guess. I reckon Dmitry Kudryasov was pretty intimidating until he was exposed for the limited plodder tbat he is.

 

Wilder. He couldn't box his way out of a wet paper bag but he can hit. Even blocked hits send people to the canvas.

 

Mike Tyson...

 

Yeah, plus he also comes off as a bit of an unpredictable explosive personality, and even though he’s a “skinny” heavyweight, he’s still a huge human being.

But to your point about the sheer power, during the entire Fury trilogy, no matter how bad he was getting busted up, or how tired he was, you still had a sense he could turn it around at any second…. (And he showed it several times, even through losses)

 

Hagler. PFP wise. Would be tough in a boxing match. You can't hurt him and you know he will wear you down and stop you. Obviously Tyson, look what he did to Mitch Green.

 

Ask yourself this? You get 10k if you survive 3 rounds vs this boxer.
Who would be the guy where you obviously would be like, hell no, rather not fight him at all since he will kill me in the ring.
Obvious answer is Mike Tyson of course.
Second would be Foreman for me. Just one of those bodyshots lands and you end up with broken ribs before he ko's you and knocks yiur teeth out.

 

Martin Bakole

 

George Foreman

 

Sonny Liston was the controlled, actualized violence. A part of his mental makeup if you will. I never fancied what I saw into those eyes, and I feared every moment I found them relatable.

Prime Mike Tyson wasn't terrifying per se, but he seemd volatile and unsettling to be around at times.

 

Good call.

Vitali sucked Briggs' soul out with that before the bell staredown. I reckon he didn't like what the Cannon did to his little brother.

EDIT: Wrong timeline. The Let's Go Champ saga was yet to start at the time of the fight.
