Pacquiao : He made Floyd so scared he called himself a coward. How many boxers in the history of the sport have ever said my health come first.
lol real *****
i think pacquiao basically makes everyone sht their pants, except for morales and marquez. those guys wouldn't blink infront of a storm of gunfire
rigondeaux is pretty intimidating also, he doesn't do anything, he just waits for you, and when you try something, your life flashes before you
Clearly Wlad...the opponents always will try and talk the talk but when they get in there with him they can't even force themselves to throw a punch sometimes out of fear at the pile of bricks on the way back at them.
Others include guys like Kovalev who is obviously building up a rep, but for a proven champ, it has to be Wlad.
I don't buy into the scared theories. For the most part professional boxers have been landing and taking punches for years, and I don't think they "fear" any opponent. However, managers, promoter, etc might fear what one fighter could do to their bottom line profits if they faced certain opponents, happens all the time
Tyson was feared. You could see it in the eyes of opponents.
I want to say Maidana, followed by Pacquiao, B-Hop, then Tyson Fury.
Currently I would say Provodnikov dude is scary also Golovkin and Kovalev.
Prime Pacquiao yes, but this one who just been KO? dude's a salivating to fight him after that, before he got knocked out and was on that tear he was one of the most feared boxers.
But now he is a fighter every young boxer wants to fight because he is old, shot has a glass chin and nomore power and gives them a big payday.
