He had them intimidated because of his ring abilities and power. But he hardly got into that staredown stuff before the fight. People always mentioning him is just another case of a fighter doing something in a fight or 2 and gaining an undeserved rep because of it.
Really depends on how an opponent reacts. Evander's stare against Mike was pure confidence, nothing mean about it. That may have been exactly what it took to intimidate Tyson, he probably would never be intimidate by someone trying to look mean.
Staredown means nothing... Remember lots of people posted of Pac "FLINCHING" on his staredown with Hatton. Saying Pac is gonna get an ass whooping because he FLINCHED, and Hatton will be the winner cause he had a good staredown... Well....
Yep:yep these are the tops in any order + Benitez:yep A young Roberto's eyes were just filled with phycotic hate, the older he got it turned into a sneer, Hagler's just said, (You're getting it punk) Hearns is the one 4 me, it must have felt like being scanned by a snake & you're the rat, Tommy had this look that just said "TOMMY KNOWS" :smoke
It's funny when you look at Manny and Bobby Pacquiao, if you don't know both you would pick to fight Manny since Bobby looks far more intimidating then you end up iced out cold.
Yeh, Vitali look just sez "What are you doing here little man" JJM's reminds me ov a young roberto, absolute coiled up venom,
End of thread. Did you see him looking at Clay? Those were the eyes of a stone cold killer saying "I'm gonna run through you, you ****in big-mouth punk kid" exactly what Clay wanted of course.
Benitez Hearns Cotto Benitez would get in your face nose to nose at press conf and just as he entered the ring....I remember he had Leonard's jugular vein palpitating like crazy !!!!
