Most Visible Mean Streak in a Fighter

Norris truly got his comeuppance from one of my favorite all time punchers, Julian Jackson. It's always a pleasure to see that crushing ko blow land in round 2 of that fight. What an abrupt end. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy than that frontrunner Terry Norris.

 

There is a stark difference between a killer instinct and a genuine mean streak.

Ted Spoon really doubts that any fighter intends to hurt their man despite all the hyperbole.

 

George Foreman AFTER he'd knocked out Ken Norton. The way he's staring and walking right up to Norton as if he wants to kill him or just look him in the eye and intimidate him. This is AFTER he just beat the guy and won the fight - that's a mean streak.

JT:

Glad you posted this fight film of Holmes - Snipes up.

Imagine prime Joe Frazier in there with Holmes and landing
"Frazier -grade" left hooks on Larry like Snipes did.

The Posters can project their own conclusions.

 

Marciano...never ever stopped, he'd die or kill before stopping

 

Monzon and Liston.

 

Tyson during his comeback. Almost broke some guys arm

 

Azumah Nelson used to stalk down his opponents with such disregard and coldness that it seemed he was cruel. A great thing to watch.

 

Nigel Benn

I remember reading an interview with him in the Ring Magazine a while ago, I forget what one but when they asked him why he hit Barkely when he was down, he replied with this :

"Because he tried to get up, and that's the honest truth."

 

Only when pissed off and antagonized.

 

Yes they did, but not to riot and steal.

 

What are they gonna do about it, hit him?:bbb

 

Foreman had an obvious mean streak, but he seemed to fool people with that smile. It's always seemed kind of forced to me. Great for popularity though.

Marciano had a huge mean streak in him. When he got pissed, all hell broke lose.
