Vote now who you think is the most scariest boxer of all time
From your list I will pick Tyson...
His state of mind is enough to scare you off let alone his fists.
of course all the new fans to boxing are going to say tyson. As for me who also watches all the old fights, I believe the only true answer is Sonny Listen.
Sonny Liston could win fights alone by his staredown with his oppenet during the rfs instructions. Not to metion his devastationg power, and his great boxing abilty to go with his power.
George Foremann use to be one of listens sparing partners. I dont have the link but formann once admitted that listen could hit way harder than him and would knock him down all the time in sparring. Foremann looked up to and tried to replacate listens intimadating style in this career.
Tyson was also once asked if there was one man that he wouldnt want to fight who would it be. He said listen and dempsey.
Burt Sugar said the Sonny Listen was most likely the scarriest presence on not just the boxing scene, but on the entire sporting scene of all time.
Angalo Dundee said something simmiler to this also.
For me Foreman.
Reporter- "People are saying that you will lose against Ali, what do you think?"
Foreman - "I beg your pardon" He said that with a mean face, you can clearly imagine that the reporter was about to shit himself lol
i heard once when foreman was on his comeback during the 80's that don king tryed to set up a match between tyson and foreman. the story goes that when asked what he thought, tyson replyed to don king "i aint fighting george foreman, that mans an animal."
in my eyes tyson is the same type of fighter in many ways to joe frazier, but slightly better. thats why i think tyson would beat ali, but also why i think he would get battered by foreman.
