    Nobody. If I had to pick it would be in order:

    Jack Johnson
    Ridd!ck Bowe
    Sonny Liston
    Jack Dempsey (Tyson ducked those with the complexion for the right connection)
    George Foreman

    Liston, Foreman and Ali are good choices.

    Tyson at 220 lbs, with deadly punching power, really shouldn't be intimidated by any heavy...unless the "Ali, Liston, Foreman, Jack Johnson, Louis (maybe)" crew. I don't think Dempsey did much trash talking pre-fight. Of course "Two-Ton Tony" would be talking a lot, before he got smashed to the ground.

    Evander Holyfield got in his head something rotten.

    You need an explanation? Bowe grew up in the same hood and went to the same school as Tyson did. Ponder that for a bit...

    Foreman is my 1st pick. I think Smokin Joe mite get into his psyche also.

    And it was plain to see M.Spinks was completely intimidated by Tyson. It was all over his face. He was beat well before the 1st punch was thrown.

    Sometimes saying very little lets the other guys own insecurities eat him up. He starts to project onto you qualities that you may not even have.
