    In a strange kind of way Pacquiao.

    Imagine how ****ing **** it must be watching a killer walk to the ring with a massive grin on his face. It's the total opposite of Big George starring through you but it would give the same impression, they are going to enjoy wrecking your life.

    Thats a good point actually :deal

    I also liked the way in which Holyfield came to the ring for the first Tyson fight in November 1996, he was smiling and singing, and even though I thought he was going to lose I remember sitting there watching it and thinking how confident he looked, and that he was not scared of anyone, not even Tyson. It definitely made me start to think that he maybe had more of a chance! :bbb

    Pacquiao was a beast three years ago.

    The performance against Cotto was stunning, I waited up all night, backing up off a heavy Friday night to watch it.... and then couldn't sleep afterwards. Unbelievable.

    People talk about Calzaghe vs Lacy or Hatton vs Tszyu.... that showing pissed all over those two.

    Duran was a ruthless fighter and very intimidating. Hagler too. And Tyson in his early years sent a chill up my spine when he was entering the ring, you just knew his opponent was about to get knocked out.

    We're talking about Hagler and Tyson yet someone mentions Lee 'Where's my Dre's?' Selby!

    The madmen like Valero & Mayorga, the badmen like Liston & Tyson arent as scary imo as a cold eyed, stone faced killer like Monzon.

    Chisora is quite an intense individual but in an unnerving way. Brian Pillman esque.

    Edwin Valero and Joan Guzman have that unhinged look.
