Vitali Klitschko has a very mean way to look at his opponents before the fight and expecially right before it starts, it's not an evil animal-like tooth-fletching like Tyson, but a VERY determinated "you guy over there will get the **** beaten out of you NOW" kind of look and it's VERY intimidating indeed. He's a very nice guy but when he looks at you before the fight, you suddenly don't want to be there anymore, no matter what money you get... Arthur Abraham is in fact a very nice, cool and relaxed guy, and he looks at his opponents with an almost friendly smile, but this smile somehow tells the same "you guy over there will get the **** beaten out of you NOW" and is somehow even more intimidating... Just take a look how he was looking and smiling at Miranda before the second fight and you'll know what I mean. When you are standing in front of Vitali, you have the feeling like you were standig in front of a russian mafia hitman with a loaded pumpgun in his hands and a very mean face, which can be very intimidating, and when you are standing in front of Arthur, you have the feeling like you were standing in front of a russian mafia hitman with a loaded pumpgun in his hands an a SMILE on his face, which I'd feel even more intimidating...
Tyson must have been intimidating. He fought some top guys who looked physically terrified to the point it dramatically affected their performance.
Tyson was just a wild animal, and wild animals are scary just so long they feel your fear. When they feel you don't fear them, they get scared. As long as his opponents feared him, Tyson was on the top. As soon a guy with an iron will withstood his animalistic show, he was broken and wouldn't fight anymore, just looking for a way out, exactly like a beaten and scared lion or tiger just looking how to escape...
I can't tell what his smile means, or at least in this one recent fight. He was fighting some thin featherfisted guy who countered him well a few times during the fight. After a few rounds of getting knocked down, the guy went after AA but hadn't seen that his corner had thrown in the towel. AA saw the towel being thrown and he lifted his hand, smiled at the guy and pointed with his glove to the thrown in towel. I couldn't tell if the smile was innocent or if there was a hint of ****ing with the other guy there. I remember now, Mahir Oral was the guy, right before the super 6.
Marco Antonio Barrera back in his 122 days. His cold stare combined with his vicous assault = intimidating for me.
I meant the smile BEFORE the fight, not after the fight. After the fight he just smiles like "didn't I tell you I will knock this guy out" just like after the Taylor fight. This is not intimidating, but his grins BEFORE the fight are...
Lol, this post is funny, but the poster is also right. It's unbelievable. As if he has no sense of how he's coming off.
