Actually, I'll change my pick to John Ruiz or Chris Byrd. Ruiz because he'd smother me to death with his hairy chest, Byrd because I'd hate to be one of the guys that got KOed by him. I'd never live it down.

Then there's the punishment he would dish out, ugh.

Louis' opponents found that easily as unnerving and intimidating as the opponents of Liston, Foreman, and Tyson found them. It's been said that one Louis opponent wet his pants during the introductions. King Levinsky had to be dragged to the ring by his cornerman he was so terrified of facing Louis.

I can imagine that. Louis had a stone cold killer's face. Almost looked disinterested at times.

Utterly expressionless like he was a machine. That's actually one of the things I liked about Lennox: He emulated Louis in that way.

Evander Holyfield, he exuded the type of confidence that makes you question if he was even a human.

James toney al though not old school it would be like never ending night of stupidity trying to hit him before he possibly put your lights out

Ali, the pre fight smack talk would make me want to die before the fight even starts. I'd probably at least give it a shot against most. But foreman tyson Liston Louis Ali and Frazier. Nuh uh.

Who could? A man on the street. I hope you're kidding around.

I vote Liston, but there are several terrifying candidates. I am nowhere near big enough to be a Heavyweight myself, & that would only add to the trepidation.
