    Just look how calm, he was when he came face to face with Riddick Bowe. Some people underrated how intimidating a calm man can be, a quiet arragonce.

    The baddest man in the room, is not always the loudest man. Go to any pub, in the roughest of area's............

    Bad People, always the most calm and calculated.

    The reak bad people...

    They were waiting for me.


    I see Arguello, Pryor, and a few other names on here, and even a suggestion by the TS about Duran. But no one at the modern WW was like Hearns, who had the KO ratio to back it up.

    Tyson. I think alot of fighters 'thought' they had a chance against Ali. Whereas with Tyson it was counting down the clock to annhiliation.

    I disagree.. I know he has defiantly calm and arrogant and feared no one himself but he wasn't feared..

    Both Klitschkos begged him for a fight.. Vitali stared him down just like another guy before fight and barked to give him a rematch after fight..

    John ruiz wanted him..

    Chris Byrd begged him for a fight even on two weeks notice
    Rahman completly had no fear of him even calling him a ***.. I could go on but plenty of fighters confidently dismissed him as crazy guy as opposed to foreman or Liston

    Um, where's Paul Williams? Clearly you haven't been watching enough HBO. Everybody's scared of Paul Williams. Scared I tell you.

    A big part of Lennox's cool is that he's a total stiff. Great fighter, but no personality whatsoever. Suffering a conversation with that guy is second only to the suffering he would make you feel in the ring. I read an interview with Emmanuel Steward where he talked about hanging with Lennox. He said he was really quiet. No ****?

    Petey, or even his brother Levy would whip yo ass on the street if you tried to make fun of him to his face.
