    Tyson himself said the one man hed be intimidated of was Sonny Liston.

    Foreman also said something similar and i think Ali too said Liston was the most intimidating

    yes i've heard all 3 of these said it but only know about foreman and ali. i've been searching for the tyson one all over the internet. but here are the ali and foreman quotes. ali" Of all the men I fought, Sonny Liston was the scariest, George Foreman was the most powerful, Floyd Patterson was the most skilled as a boxer," Ali once said.
    Foreman "He wasn’t my height, but when you looked across the ring he seemed ten feet tall. And with his extra big arms and enormous hands, that massive left jab would get to you! Sonny Liston was truly a big and gifted heavyweight.”

    It would be stretching a point to say that you think about these fantasy fights.

    You seem to approach them like a kid arguing about who would win a fight between Superman and Spiderman.

    You would genuinely have more fun, if you cast your fan loyalties aside, and went after the truth.

    The greatest pleasure in this game, is discovering something totally unexpected.

    Liston never faced anyone like Tyson, who was molded to slip the jab and launch his own offensive attack within firing range. Instant offense. Love Liston, but Tyson was too fast, too defensive, too good.

    Can't all these silly threads started by Tyson fanboys be lumped together, so it takes up less space on the board?

    Douglas jabbed the 23 year old Tyson to bits, and that's all you need to know. All that would happen is Tyson would be doing his crawling baby looking for its dummy, act before the 10th round.
