Who was the most feared heavyweight

Mike Tyson because he has had the advantage of much improved media hype over his career. Wherether or not he was the most fearsome is doubtable I think Liston and Foreman are above him.

Champion Tommy Burns ducked him for months, and then Jeffries had to be pulled out of years of retirement in order to find someone (someone white) who could lick Johnson. The burden of fighting Johnson was too great for too many to handle. Who wanted The Great White Hope tag applied to them? Bad enough fighting a tough fighter like Johnson, but add onto that the weight of an entire race!? No surprise not many sought to challenge Johnson.
