Ten most intimidating fighters in history

Muhammad Ali is right up there surprised no one mentioned him.

 

Well, he killed one man in the ring and 'half-killed' another.

 

I nominate the two physically huge, bat**** crazy Nigerians: Ike Ibeabuchi and Sam Peter.

Look, if I pissed off Thomas Hearns at be worried about getting my ass kicked. If I pissed off Sonny Liston, I'd be worried about getting put in ICU.

If I pissed off Ike or Sam, I'd be worried about having pieces of my corpse eaten raw.

 

Sonny would have made Sam Peter seem like a choirboy.

 

I have mixed opinions of that 'scuffle'.

If you watch it carefully, Lewis doesnt utter a word until AFTER Bowe turns his back to him.

But Bowes language to me, suggest fear on his part.

'I thought we were cool, your not the man i thought you were'.

To me that reads 'I like you, please dont beat me up'.

 

Tyson.
Benn

I find Vit Klits staredown to be quite intimidating, he an icey glare if you would.

 

Mitch Green
Tex Cobb.

 

1- Sonny Liston
2- Jack Dempsey
3- Stanley Ketchel
4- Mike Tyson
5- Thomas Hearns
6- Joe Louis
7- Ron Lyle
8- Bob Foster
9- Roberto Duran
10- Marvin Hagler

 

I forgot Harry Greb

 

See highlighted.
Very interesting choice, and I can see why you selected him. With that bald pate, he did have a Hagler-esque look about him, and of course being an inmate at Rahway probably added to the intimidation factor.

 

Sam Peters? **** no!

unless your a klitscko fan

 

Asides from norton and ali? Lmao just an ex Marine OF usa Hall OF famer and the GREATEST OF all time, apart Of the 90% OF his rivals except frazier, probably the bravest Man ever ans ron lyle a ****ing tough guy WHO nearly died in the jail

 

Did you see the one post fight interview where he attempted to give a speech about finding meaning in a ball he found while jogging? Pure crazy in a person with his frame is a very scary mix.

 

Willard, Tunney (at least the second time around) and Gibbons weren't intimidated in the least by Dempsey.

 

Usual Tyson Liston Foreman etc

Monzon and Ketchel for their cold sociopath/psychopathic feel

Bruce Curry, Lamotta according to JG

Louis would be intimidating as hell to fight


In a bar id want someone like Golota, crazy and unpredictable is pretty intimidating
