The most feared man in boxing is Luis Pabon. Fighters know that when they see Luis Pabon in the the ring they are about to get Pa-Boned. How are you supposed to concentrate while you got this ref prancing about the ring saying 'I am here, stop fighting, I am here' ? I think Pabon has a hidden agenda, I think he likes seeing two grown men hug each other, that's why he allows so much hugging.
Tyson, foreman, Liston are the big 3 for the fear factor.
Agree. Golovkin is avoided, but he's nowhere near as feared as those 3. When you talk about fear, there's this excellent article about intimidation in sports.
Don't be scared, homie: How intimidation plays a role in combat sports
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
Tyson was one of the best trash talkers to ever grace combat sports. He wouldn’t just say things for shock value or to hype the fight, he would say things that would make you question his sanity and be fearful for his opponent.
Quotes like "My power is discombobulating, devastating, I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm," had the fans, the media and fighters with their chins dropped.
And here's my favorite:
From Strikeforce heavyweight Brett "The Grim" Rogers, who was knocked out by Emelianenko in Nov. 2009 after entering the bout with a perfect 10-0 record and having finished all ten of his opponents (including former champion Andrei Arlovski) with his fists:
"I've never been intimidated by anyone in my life. But when we got to the staredown, I looked into his eyes to let him know he was done -- and there was nothing there. It was like I was staring into a void. It kinda psyched me out."

And the award for the most generic list goes to....

I can tell you're one for myths.
Yet another man has ducked GGG. No one wants to fight this guy. He is an animal and will retire undefeated.
LOL please Max Baer literally killed men fighting them.
I say tyson and foreman
Yes, that would be my answer too. I remember the Frazier destruction so well, Foreman all of a sudden became the most feared man in all sports and of course Tysons original run as champion, the electricity and fear he created was something I've never experienced before. I remember being in the same press rooms and stadiums as Tyson and no one was sure what he would do next, many journalists were afraid he might turn on them.
On a personal note, Mike was always cordial with me, although there were a couple times he asked me not to ask him certain questions and when I pushed I got the Tyson stare. Suffice to say, I didn't press him any more.
What happened I thought Paul Williams was the most feared man in history or was it mattaysse or how ever it's spelled
Williams was the most feared fighter in boxing history in 2009. Matthysse was the most feared fighter in boxing history last year, this is year it's Golovkin.
he is not even the most feared man now, he is up there but he isnt making people shake in their tiny boots like rigondeaux almighty.
