          When people are begging the GOAT heavyweight not to fight you, you're straight out of a horror movie.
          Agreedo!

          Cases could also be made for Liston (Foreman's Mentor) and Jack Dempsey after he demolished The Fightin' Farmer!

            Fighters had to be pretty leery of Ernie shavers who was arguable one of the 2-3 greatest punchers in the division history.

              My boxing memory only goes back to the Tyson days and not before, so I'm not going to compare him to guys I only read about and saw highlights of.

              But of my lifetime, I don't think anybody was more intimidating than a prime Mike Tyson. And for that matter nobody was even close, to be honest.

                Liston and Foreman were FEARED men, even against other top competition.

                Tyson was a feared man against journey men and bums, doesn't take much to scare a journeymen.

                      Tyson was pretty damn scary in his prime. Till he started talking.
