Best "Stare Down" in boxing

Mike Tyson

Terry,
I always felt Foreman-Lyle was one of the best, if not the best, neither backing down.

a couple of other good ones were benitez vs. leonard and hearns.

but foreman-lyle is better because both guys are ugly ex-convicts/juvenile deliquents. more intimidating than a pretty boy like leonard.

Liston and Foreman at heavyweight

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Leonard-Benitez, 1979. THE BEST EVER

tyson rarely did the staredown right before the fight. maybe in press conferences, but rarely the pre-fight staredown. the mcneeley fight, and a couple of post prison fights he did, but those were exceptions.

foreman, liston, now they liked to do that more.

Your wrong dude Tyson almost always looked you dead in the eyes before a fight thus creating a stare down... His stare down basically played about 15 % into each and everyone of his wins IMO

no, you are wrong. watch his fights and look for the pre-fight staredown when the ref is giving instructions.

the first few fights post-prison is when he did that. that's about it.

he rarely ever did it. watch the spinks fight. they don't even look at each other. that's how most of his staredowns were. he got all up in golota's grill (when andrew had sunglasses on) in the press conference, but when it came time for the pre-fight instructions, he barely wasted his time with the staredown. he looked at him a little bit and looked to the side. it wasn't an intimidating stare at all. he didn't need it, golota was already freaking out because he's like that. watch the first bruno fight. bruno is staring right at mike and mike and staring to the side, eyes wandering around, not trying to look back at bruno.

tyson rarely ever did the pre-fight staredown. it's funny how people watch a couple fights of one guy and think that's how he always was. it is hardly the case.

Roberto Duran looked like a damn mass murdered and just possesed. Cotto looks like a killer too and keeps that ice demeanor up all the time. Even in the Hatton-Cotto fight when the the camera panned to Cotto at ring side he looked like he was about to fight himself.
