            I was referring to pre comeback Foreman. He had a very bad guy mentality. He was taught the same piercing stare by Sonny Liston and emulated him in almost every way. Post comeback Foreman completely changed his fighting personality. So you can make the distinction there.

              From what i read Liston was sooo feared that people drop their rankings, Problem was Ali for some reason wasnt too intimidated or he didnt show it, Tyson had that reputation where people who are weak mentally got scared before they got into the ring with him, But Holmes wasnt scared of tyson, Spinks was, Bruno was but a lot boxers werent.
