The toughest people in the world = softest voices?

[Anderson Silva]

I have a theory that the tougher you are as a fighter, the softer your voice. Anyone else notice this?

If you talked to Mike Tyson in 1989 on the phone, not knowing who he was, and trolled him, and then he threatened you, you'd laugh, thinking this soft-voiced guy is no threat at all, not knowing he was the biggest badass on the planet back then.

The stereotype of tough guys having strong, powerful Ving Rhames-like voices is shattered by real life tough guys like Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Anderson Silva, Brock Lesnar and others. There's nothing remotely intimidating about the voices of Alistair Overeem, Mighty Mouse, Fedor, Roy Nelson, Anderson Silva, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Louis, and every Asian fighter (Sak, Pac, etc.)

Voice box has nothing to do with toughness.

You can also make a long list of tough guys with deep voices just as easy.

Lara has one of the deepest voices you'll hear in boxing and hes tough as hell as seen in the Angulo fight.

I beg to differ




The toughest people often don't act like tough guys though, that much is certainly true.

If Tyson threatened "to **** me until i loved him" and to "eat my children" i might be a little concerned lol

Mike Tyson defied all odds. 5' 11" Heavyweight who acted tough, was actually tough, and spoke softly.
