Which current boxer puts the most fear into his opponent?

[( . Y . )]

What current boxer has the highest fear factor? The one guy that causes opponents to think twice about sitting foot in the ring?

Hopkins. He makes high volume punchers throw less than they normally do and its hard to explain why their output drops when they step in the ring with the Executioner

I want to say Maidana, followed by Pacquiao, B-Hop, then Tyson Fury.

Maybe Provodnikov, Kovalev (at times), Klitschko

That seems more like frustration than fear. Most fighters look frustrated VS Hopkins.

Fear is like the reputation Dempsey and Tyson had.

Provodnikov is building up a reputation as a guy who win or lose is going to take a few years off your life.

[just the facts]

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

kovolev and ggg seem to be the most avoided IMO


also miguel vasquez, abril,, arent big punchers but no one is in a rush to fight them

[Croyd]

Provodnikov

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.
