    Alexis Arguello wasn't afraid of Pryor or at least he was man enough to overcome his fear and fight like hell.

    Its funny Ali fought and talked a lot of **** to two of the guys on your list... Kind of crazy when talking about some of the most feared boxers ever. I wonder what he would have said to Tyson?:lol:

    That would have been priceless to see Tyson's reaction.:yep

    Most might not admit this, but Lennox Lewis....was one of the most feared.

    The man had a quiet arragonce about him, which put allot of people in stress.

    People can say what they want about Lennox Lewis, but come fight night.......most fighters knew they where done for.

    Mike Tyson looked like he was walking to his own funeral, during his ringwalk vs Lennox Lewis.

    Lennox Lewis was a fighter, who did'nt get caught up in all this mental games ****.

    Riddick Bowe, a none tough guy outside of the ring. Was acting all out of charactor, around Lennox Lewis.

    The best moment was when, he landed that big right hand on Mike Tyson during the press con.

    WAS NEVER intimidated by any of his oponents..! never..!

    If I remember correctly George Foreman said he wanted no part of Lennox the first time he saw him fight.

    This is my favourite Mike Tyson ring walk, a far cry from the Lennox Lewis ring walk. When he looked like he was making his last walk, before his funeral.
