    Not like - who knocks people out like crazy
    Golovkin and Roy Jones had a lot of knockouts but they didnt have badassery

    I mean people who had an aura of badassness - like Tyson, Foreman, Dempsey, Duran

    other names that come to mind are
    Jack Johnson
    Hagler
    Myself

    Tyson wasn't badass, he was a bully

    He'd break down mentally and try to cheat his way out of fights when things weren't going his way.

    Harry Greb... although it's a long time ago, Harry was a Middleweight that fought anyone right up to Heavyweight. He fought the second half of his career blind in one eye and was the only person to beat Gene Tunney who went on to be Heavyweight champ.

    He also crossed the color line and fought the best black fighters of his day and had over 300 fights in his career, fighting over 40 times in one year alone. Total badass!

    Also forgot to say that he fought an impromptu rematch with ATG Micky Walker in the car park of the hotel where the after fight party was hosted, just a few hours after their first fight.

    no mention of morales? iv honestly lost faith in ESB

    turning southpaw in the 12th round of the first pac fight was the most badass thing iv ever seen inside the ring.

    I would definitely put you at first place, a level above everyone else.

    But then I'd put Marciano, who had that no-nonsense type of bad-assery. The kind of guy who didn't look you in the eye, so he could assault you without feeling bad for you.
