I need some boxing historians on this one.

Who's a lightweight (or a weight class near lightweight) boxer that looked real mean and tough. One where you would think to yourself, "this man looks ready to hurt anybody that messes with him". One that could strike fear in anyone.

Personal opinions, of course.

Henry Armstrong immediatly comes to mind, seeing how he fights only increases that opinion for me.

Jackie "Kid" Berg always wore a sneer on his face whenever having his picture taken.

Sean O'Grady, while not being a particular sinister looking fighter had probably the coldest looking eyes I have ever seen, like they were painted on.

Michael Carbajal was a mean little dude.

Darchinyan, Arce, Duran, Saddler, Armstrong, Barrera

I always thought Cornelius Boza-Edwards was an intimidating looking fighter with the fro and his well chiseled physique.

Also Roberto Duran of course.

Great A beat me to it... Beau Jack without a shadow of a doubt!

Troy Dorsey was another one.. Although he was briefly featherweight champ, he finished his career at LW.. Wasn't the greatest of boxers, but I believe he did very well on the Karate circuit..

Isn't Duran the obvious choice here? I would also hate to have to stare down Daniel Zaragoza.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
