    i meen the guys you would hate to pissoff in a bar.i was reading what sharkey said about a fight between 2 of his opp. dempsey and louis.he said (if you put both men in a phonebooth dempsey alone would walk out).now im not worshiping dempsey here even tho hes my alltime fav. fighter,i think a prime jack stands a good chance against any boxer-ever but a good backpeddlin sharpshooter such as ali could at least dec. him i say dempsey,tyson,liston,marciano,prob. louis,jim jeffries,prob. tommy morrison,prob. tua and this list prob. could involve some smaller fighters such as duran,hagler,barbados demon walcott,fitz. and so on the first 6 i listed is mainly my true meanest not the best boxers but the meanest fighters-please add who im missing and take out who u believe doesnt belong

    Dempsey
    Duran
    Ketchel
    Ibeabuchi post-tua

    However, I don't think Tyson fits in this group-early on, he'd help his opponents up after dishing out beatings, and what he said before fights was largely to hype the fights up-and the media loved it, and eventually made tysons image fuse with his pre-fight comments.

    dempsey was also one that would rush to help his opp. up ive never seen a transformation such as ive read and sean about him. sparring partners dredded it when dempsey was stressed,mad .he like tyson was out to utterly destroy you bell to bell then picked u up like a fallen child after he ko,d u.everyone he met spoke of jack said he was a real kind hearted caring man,everyone who fought him said he tried to kill u

    What about Greb and Zivic? I mean to be that dirty inside a ring shows just a little bit "meanness".

    Roberto Duran

    This guy at his peak enjoyed putting the hurt on opponents so much that he always had THAT little sneer.

    Even while exchanging blows, he`d still have it.

    Haglers small, I would have a chance against him in a bar fight because I could take him to the ground. Guys like Liston, Dempsey I would be much more scared of.
