Most intimidating fighter ever?

Benn is up there.

 

i got what you meant

intimidating does not mean boxing ability

you do not have to be a good boxer to intimidate some one :bart

 

Punching ability helps. Watching Benn's early KO's at the start of his career is very scary, never seen a fighter come out of the blocks so fast and aggressively, and hit so hard to score so many KO's without timing or accuracy.

 

Id say Liston and then Tyson.

Tyson himself said the one man hed be scared to face was Liston.

Foreman also said Liston was the only guy who never ran from him in the ring and actually pushed him around.

On top of that, didnt Liston beat the **** out of some coppers?

 

Same Bruno who was beating the **** out of Lewis before he got caught?

Bruno: "Id rather face Lennox Lewis once a week, than fight Tyson once a year"

 

Calzaghe- he was unbeatable. :nod

 

In my time, Tyson, seeing opponents having beaten themselves before the bell rang.

Sonny Liston - I was once talking to a few of the older guys at my gym years ago in South Philly, and was told by them that in the gym, he was a pretty nice guy, one said he was funny even.

 

Of course he was.

All those welsh miners, latvian toilet cleaners and african taxi drivers were terrified of him.

They were terrified of that punch power which left 2 victims laid out.

Yep thats right Calzaghe knocked out 2 of his 46 victims, all the rest were TKOs aka British stoppages.

 

he was a mental midget

 

Change the record atsch

 

Tyson in recent memory. Without a shadow of a doubt.

Liston and Foreman were before my time. And Dempsey was probably rather intimidating in his day too.

 

Unless you are a groupie and new to boxing i.e GGG, klitchko, koalev fans then its obvious Tyson. And I watched Liston, Foreman back then and no - people did not hold them in awe.

 

Ike, Edwin Valero, Tyson, Tua, Liston, Foreman, The Hitman, Duran... Kovalev on his way

 

GGG is as intimidating as Baby Spice.

 

After an intelligent consideration, I have decided to pick myself as the most intimidating fighter that has ever lived. I've got an iron chin. You can smash me in the face with a brick, i'll just laugh at you. My punching power is freakish. I've been known to put holes through metal like it's butter. I was once refused a boxing license because it was just too dangerous to put me in the ring with these guys, it would of been classed as suicide for them to fight me. My speed made Roy jones Jr look slow. I laughed when I watched Roy, he was fighting at slow motion compared to me.

Yep, i'm sure I am the most intimidating fighter that has ever lived. Punch me in the face and i'll laugh and then punch you in the stomach.
