I think it was Barrett or Guinn (can't remember which one) was the first time I ever seen Valuev. The guy tryed to stare back at him, and Valuev got right in his face (with his ENORMOUS pitbull like head) and the guy backed right down. Couldn't imagine somebody that big, and ugly staring down at me.
Trust me they do mean a ****... If you have been in the ring then you would know. A fight is very much mental and giving a mean stare down to somebody prior to the fight can shake a mans boots. Just look at a prime Foreman staredown and tell me you wouldn't be intimidated.
Tyson because you knew that he really wanted to harm you. Then Hearns who just looked badass all the time.
Thomas Hearns = The Greatest Staredown Artist ever. (Starting with his "In-ring intro".....Classic when he pointed)
Lewis, Tyson, Hopkins, and Hearns In the Hagler fight, right before the round 1 bell rings, Hearns gives a badass stare!!
i saw a vid of Nigel Benn staring down Dewitt. you could nearly see the **** dribbling down Dewitt's leg. haha
