ummm...ppl found jack dempsy intimidating and he was white and not built like tyson. I think anybody who was a kid in the streets, weighed as much as tyson did when he wasnt even a teen yet, would be intimidating, white, black or whatever.

If all you changed were his skin color? Of course.

His intimidation factor came firstly from his power and speed. Then increased wen people found out more about his life, what he would say before and after a fight and because he was built like a tank and would come straight for you with only one intention!

he is intimidating because he is a terrible human being. i remember seeing a fight that he won by tko, but he was hungry for an actual knock out. in the fight the ref himself got knocked down.

Tyson could have been blue and still been scary.

I was just wondering about this because personally, I wouldnt find him as intimidating but I have no idea

I like how openly prejudiced you are towards black people. So much so you write a thread to make it completely transparent to everyone.

More please. Comedy.
