    I'd say tyson definitely he had that aura around him

    Yeah I think Valuev must be pretty intimidating getting in the ring like a wwf wrestler!

    jermain bad intentions taylor, because he had bad intentions.

    on a serious note definatelly gonna go with Charles Sonny Liston, with the mafia and pretty much the whole state government and feriocious power on his side he was just menacing and everyone except ali seemed scared shitless before stepping in the ring with him.

    the fact that the Klitschko's don't look intimidating isn't a bad thing. Being a gentleman is more important in my mind.

    Duran intimidated Hagler..............really?

    No way................nobody intimidated Hagler. I thought it was roughly a draw in the pre fight intimidation stakes.

    Although one would have expected Hagler to win easier than he did so perhaps Duran did get an edge in the build up.

    I have to say MIKE TYSON. Most opponent were defeated before stepping into the ring. My second choice has to be George Foreman

    1. Tyson (I heard him say he won most of his fights walking into the ring)

    2. Foreman (In his first Championship run.)

    3. Ali (His quick wit and fast mouth and the rep to back it up)

    4. Vitali (Kirk Johnson good example of how scared he looked during "staredown")

    5. Valuev (By sheer size he steps over the ropes to get in the ring not through them. Barret tried to stare down Valuev and melted like ice in a broiler)

    6. Liston (Before Ali out intimidated him he was considered the most intimidating fighter of his day)

    7. Wlad (Look at the Brewster rematch. Brew would not make eye contact during staredown and then quit on his stool without injury forcing him to do so. That's sheer intimidation)

    8. Roberto Duran (No offense but put horns on his forehead and he looks like the fcking Devil himself)

    9. Holmes (Always had a chip on his shoulder meaner than a junk yard dog)

    10. Butterbean (OK you can laugh but in his relm/league I'd say he probably intimidated a few)

    Gerald McClellan was a scary dude, as was Nigel Benn.

    Foreman & Tyson.

    People were terrified of both.

    If I had to pick just one, I'd take Foreman because of his size.

    Even Tyson was terrified of 40+ year old Foreman. He avoided him like the bubonic plague :scaredas:
