I think Joe Louis was every bit as intimidating as Tyson ever was, not because of the way he acted, but because everyone knew what he was capable of. He could be rocked, but his hands were so fast most all his opponents were scared to hit him, especially after eating a couple of his jabs. That guy was truly a monster in the ring, even though he was small compared to today's fighters, he would definately have to be right up there close to the top, as well as Liston and Tyson.
I think in his prime RJJ intimidated a couple of fighters, I know there a couple out there that wanted Rjj, but more who probably wanted nothing to do with him. In his prime.
Today ?
Hopkins.
I don't think fighters are intimidated by Vitali Klitschko until they're actually fighting him. It was the same thing with Lennox Lewis...
Atwa.....
No offense....but Golota was only intimidating back when he was bashing Riddick Bowe. Back then, he looked awesome, & seemed ruthless.
We eventually learned that he is totally BREAKABLE.
No fighter is intimidated by him now.
He was shitting his pants against Tyson....& quit in pathetic fashion.

golota is to
definately tha liston who knocked out everyone in 2 rounds b4 ali came to play

How about De La Hoya...he's very intimidating..
De La Hoya is very inviting. Everybody wants to fight him because of the money. Nobody avoided DLH, for sure.
Would you be scared if Mike Tyson was hyped up on drugs and was trying to kill you, and your defense wasn't the best because you had a broken hand and a broken Jaw? I think so.
LOL hyped up on drugs? You could hardly say that Marijuana is a drug which would hype you're performance up.
Look at the avatar, Golota is pretty intimidating
