The most intimidating fighter, pound for pound, is Bernard Hopkins..

Either Andrew Golota, or Vitali Klitschko.
Now, I know what you're thinking
"He's a Golota fan, of course he will think that,"
The reason I think these two fighters are intimidating is because they kind of remind me of Ivan Drago from Rocky 4.

Resembelence I think

Hagler was pretty intimidating looking.
Obviously Duran.

Lacy is pretty intimidating to look at. I'd say many of the muscular heavyweights are pretty intimidating, but as far as intimidating by way of accomplishments and appearance, I'd say Tyson, Hopkins, er...I don't know.

I don't think Hopkins or Lacy look imtimidating in the slightest. Toney? Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank practically laughed him off in the early 90's when he wouldn't get in the ring with either of them.

Jirov always looks pretty damn pissed off

past and present
1)Mike Tyson - in the late 80's the scariest of all time.black trunks,black shoes no socks,fade haircut, and a violent blood lust. And would just come right at you swinging.

2)Marvelous Marvin Hagler - Had a menacing bald head(when shaved heads were not the norm yet,back in the 80's)and devil's goatee. Imagine this man coming at you all night.

3)Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns - Tall and gangly looking with a Gerri curl from the projects and everyone knew what kind of violence was inside that right hand.

4)Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins - Enters the ring in Executioners uniform shows zero emotion and stares right into the opponents eyes while he thouroughly outboxes you and you cant do a damn thing about it. Ask Tito.


5)The YOUNG George Foreman -When Foreman was young he would enter the ring and just give a death stare to his opponent without blinking. You wanna see examples try to get old tapes of when he fought Frazier and when he fought Ali - Ali was talking smack to Foreman right before the fight and Foreman just stared into Ali's eyes without saying a word like he was gonna kill him.

Foreman was very intimidating in his heyday as was Sonny Liston

I don't think Hopkins or Lacy look imtimidating in the slightest. Toney? Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank practically laughed him off in the early 90's when he wouldn't get in the ring with either of them.

I agree, Lacy looks like a man trying to look scary and Toney's a joke(although a good fighter). I remember Toney calling out Eubank and Benn over a satellite link and trying to intimidate them by saying he'd shoot them, LMAO - what a loser. I'd go with Tyson.

Most intimidating would be Tyson, has anybody seen someone's opponents as scared as Mike's( I'm about to get screwed up the @$$ and can't do a d@mn thing about it look). Chris Eubanks 'cause he's phucking ugly. Oh and I almost forgot David Tua, who I got the chance to see in person, the guy looks even bigger in person(I remember seeing him and thinking if Tyson would give me the same chills when I saw Tua walking up to the ring, since they were at one point similar in size).

Here' my list (in no particular order)

Roberto Duran
Mike Tyson
Ike Ikebuchi
David Tua
Tommy Hearns
John Mugabi

tyson in his prime was very intimidating.

The most intimidating fighter, pound for pound, is Bernard Hopkins..


I'll go with Jack here . . . BH is always expressionless, quiet but his stares can melt you . . . mind games . . . you'll never know what's on this guys head.

a young george foreman hands down. rahman against lewis the first time looked like king kong

George Foreman

1) Tyson
2) Sonny Liston
3) George Foreman
4) Jack Dempsey
5) Roberto Duran

They're my top five

Tyson in his prime scared his opponents.
Hagler was also very inimidating late in his carreer, especially when hitting himself on the head before the fight.

Gerald McClellan...

The biggest-looking middleweight I've ever seen. A ferocious puncher. Someone who had the coldest look on his face at all times.

1.Foreman.
2.Tyson.
3.Liston.

Hagler in his day.
Bernard Hokins has that cold stare.
Liston without a doubt.

Manny Pacquiao :D Smiles nonstop, looks like everyones best friend, go in the ring with him, hes a tornado that will eat you alive :eek: I think knowing that your opponent is friendly and cool to be with before a fight though knowing he's going to fight you like you mugged him is worse than an intimidating looking fighter that you know can break down if you get him good.

When discussing intimidating fighters, a lot of people bring up Tyson, Liston, Foreman, etc. and for good reason. They won fights before they even started. But people often leave out Terry McGovern, the 118-126 pound fighter, who pretty much destroyed everyone that stepped into the ring with him at the turn of the century.

The guy was small; however, his punch and mean streak were anything but.

The most intimidating fighter, pound for pound, is Bernard Hopkins..

I agree 100%, no emotion in that stern face of his. He just keeps coming and coming destroying your hope and morale.

Well he scares me anyway out of the present day fighters :D

Foreman when he knocked out Joe frazier with an uppercut. Joe went up 1 or 2 inches from the ground bro. It was brutal!!!

And of course Pacman's intimidation of ledwaba. Damn! Ledwaba got scared after tasting that left. Ask barrera too.

i look at it like this, if i was a boxer who would scare the **** out of me? i say mike tyson and a young george foreman

Gotta be Mike between about 86-89. Didnt Michael Spinks say that before they fought he almost passed out he was so nervous?

Mayorga scared me against Forest, when he dropped his hands, then came on strong.

There's only one...Mike Tyson in his prime struck fear into the hearts of everyone he faced. Opponents were so scared they were already beaten men before they got into the ring!

When Mike used to make his ring entrance with Public Enemy's "Welcome to the Terrordome" blaring in the background...man that was the ****!! How could you not be scared?

tyson would scare the living **** out of me lol guy was an animal in his prime

get outta here man the most scariest fighter is lennox lewis...

Even though he's a little guy, I'd be intimidated by Aaron Pryor. Just to see him looking crazy getting all riled up in the corner across from you about to come out like a tazmanian devil...and that **** that he pulled with Arguello...the whole point and stare deal. It would suck to know that you were going to have to take a lot of punishment before dispatching the ****er too.

yeah, i'd agree, even now aaron pryor looks like a crazy ****er, i saw him at ringside at a recent fight and he looked like he'd skull**** a guy for no reason. i'd say the most intimidating fighter is james butler, because even if you win the fight he might just lose it and **** your **** up afterwards when u can't see it coming

Manny Pacquiao is not that intimidating, sorry.
You guys just can't help but discuss him, can you ?

I had to chuckle at that one too.

of the present day fighters i would have to say james toney. the look he gave jirov after the final bell was chilling!

The young George Foreman. I saw him at the Lewis Ruddock fight in London and the guys head looked like the size of a pumkin. He just hasthis look that he'd be impossible to hurt. Tyson did pretty well.

hey, i was at that fight,too. i stood quite close to foreman for a few seconds before the fights started, he's the biggest guy iv'e ever seen!
