Yep, Marciano is my all-time favourite fighter. If it's purely 'in-ring demeanor' then he's definitely in with a shout. Whoever mentioned Pryor is a good shout aswell, complete and utter ****ing badass. The way he pointed and stared at Arguello across the ring just before their first fight was chilling.
Just because Calzaghe had glass hands doesn't mean he wasn't ruthless. He simply had no way to implement it.
Sonny Liston. I would say Stanley Ketchel, but he's Polish. Jake Lamotta Carmen Basilio And talking of Basillio, Robinson was ruthless when unloading himself.
Seconded. Maybe those old timers were more ruthless, BUT I never saw them I did see the hawk fight many times!!!
Terry Norris was a very good finisher & a ruthless badman Qawi always seemed to enjoy beating the **** out of people Behind the big smile & friendly image Sugar Ray Leonard was a nasty, spiteful mofo once he had someone hurt
Dempsey & Duran. What Dempsey did to Willard & Duran to Davey Moore, some of the worst beatings I have ever seen in Boxing. Good thing there is a neutral corner rule nowadays (in reference to Dempsey vs Willard).
Nigel Benn in the top ten, for sure. - Very similar fighter to KK's pick, Jackson, but more of a beast I think. "Of all time" ? Probably some guy from the early days who was never filmed.
