    George Foreman blinks once during an intense engagement of eye contact. His opponent doesn't show the same poise, rocking side to side.

    I don't want to flat-out say his opponent looks scared because it might someone like Joe Frazier .

    Joe Frazier for sure.
    Foreman's stare is frightening...

    Tyson is just not scarey. Foreman, on the other hand, is.

    Why do people always post the Tyson-Mcneeley staredown?

    Why not use Tyson/Ribalta or anything pre prison Tyson?

    If anything i think the Tyson Mcneeley staredown sums up Tysons post prison career, Tyson just pretending to be what he once was.

    Good point. While that was a scaring staredown, the Mcneeley fight was a farse. Even though, not by Tyson's fault, IMO.

    I've never understood why decent professional boxers would be scared by a bit of staring. I don't buy it. I mean, you're already signed to fight, trained, and a minute away from trading punches. Eye contact's hardly the issue. You're either scared already or you're not. Most probably the guy doing the intense staring is as scared as the other.
    I think it's more a bit of theatre for the spectators.

    Saying that, Tyson does have the look of a s"exual pervert. That's kind of unsettling.

    Looking at the curvature of the shoulders and hairstyle...my intant impression was that it is Ron Lyle...Unless someone assures me different.

    I would have to say that it is Joe Frazier in their first fight. A brief profile of the man on the right looks like Yank Durham.

    ...looks scared, based on seeing the back of their head?

    That isnt the back of Fraziers head IB, thats his face, actually Frazier grew a full facial beard and turned his back on Foreman because he wouldnt look Foreman in the eye
