    Both fighters make their opponents tremble even before the fight started!

    Beterbiev has the power and the skills to back up his intimidation factor. I wouldnt be surprised if he punches as hard as Joshua or close to it.

    Beterbiev looks menacing and they actually have to get out of their way to even find someone who wants to challenge him for the belt.

    Beterbiev. The guy is all natural with his power and just looks like he could live off the land in the wilderness hunting bears.


    Joshua is the epitome of fake and manufactured

    Beterbiev in images is more intimidating, mean looking, not someone you'd approach.

    But in real life? Joshua is huge, if he's pissed at you a guy that size is going to be more intimidating. But having said that he seems an approachable sort, not the type to walk around looking like he wants to kill puppies like Beterbiev. So I say Beterbiev.

    But then Uysk looks like he'd not only kill the puppies but wear them as a macabre head adornment to a kids party, where he'd kill the clown the parents had hired to entertain the kids. Usyk even when smiling looks like he's imagining what your insides would look like on the outside.

    Femi isnt even remotely intimidating.

    Intimidating is that hardened Russian visage and it gets built from a boy who has come from absolutely nothing, and had to fight for every scrap of food.

    Femi comes from a well off Nigerian family and attended private boarding schools back in Abuja before his family came to London. You can tell beneath the big build, that Femi is a nice and kind man. As far as Beterbiev or Usyk are concerned, you can tell they are not nice men.

    You get to be an intimidating man, from your upbringing. You either have it or you dont.

    Joshua fake laugh's like no other, he's not really like that. When I watch Usyk he comes across like he has a great sense of humour and a good laugh, whereas Joshua laughs at the floor or something that isn't remotely funny just to come across nice, just for the cameras....Hes a fraud, but its business, it makes money, I get that, but I don't remotely believe its the real him

    Yes it is, his first language is Russian clearly, which is why he can't spell his name in English. :sisi1

    A lot of working class African families in the UK are considered well off in their respective countries. It’s not quite the same thing as being well off in the western world. I dated a working class, Ugandian woman, who was considered well off in Uganda. I remember her casually telling me about witnessing one of her neighbours getting stoned to death.

    My point being, I wouldn’t read to much into it, when comparing what would be normally construed with being “well off”.

    It’s more accurate to say that Joshua’s from a hardworking working class family in the UK, with Nigerian heritage. Nothing flashy. Nothing grim.

    We saw a glimpse of the real him through social media.
    The Eddie Chambers facade and Robert Muagabe supporting last year.

    And he does come across to me, like he is being contained, and underneath all of that, their is a mix of a Floyd Mayweather type personality (smug, c.ocky, arrogant) with a slight hint of Mike Tyson (intimidating, violent and anti corporate)

    Something so off about Joshua.

    AJ is obviously much bigger and more physically imposing than Beterbiev and I'm sure if you got on his wrong side and made him angry he would be pretty damn scary. However, Beterbiev is a more scary and intimidating looking dude (it's the look in the eyes) and P4P more intimidating and a harder puncher P4P too. Imagine a 6'6'' 245-250lb Beterbiev lol
