    It's prime Tyson and I mean by an absolute mile..

    Guys from the dark ages will try to claim Liston or Foreman were more feared but it's not even close to Mike's wrath.

          Tyson has to be the most feared boxer of all time. It was a huge part of his popularity too. There was always the sense of immediate danger when he stepped into the ring.

            your anti-old school agenda doesn't work against liston/foreman.

            liston was the 1st true modern heavyweight champ. he and foreman were awesome physical specimens.

            this isn't marciano or blown up light heavyweights.

              And it's hilarious because Foreman was prime like 10 years before Tyson and was old as **** yet knocking guys out in Tyson's era, but that moron will act like he's from some bygone era decades before and can't compete.

                These guys are intimidating:



                But they look human. They are not as scary as this:


                Tyson's skull is more impressive and I explained the nature of his eyes staring you down on the first page. His neck is several inches thicker than those guys too.
                And as for fighting styles, I'd be more afraid of the guy who is the fastest and will hit you hard when you don't see the punches coming.

                    speed don't scare me. i'm slow as hell anyway.

                    i'm scared of the guy towering over me that i can't hurt.

                    liston/foreman had better chins than mike. also taller.

                    i'm short. believe me there's a difference fighting 5'10 compared to 6'1-6'4.

                      Right, so we know what an overweight short guy would find more scary(no offense lol) but I think most people in general would agree with me. I just think that Foreman and Liston looked like regular guys and they needed to put effort into looking scary. Tyson looked like a monster even with a neutral facial expression, it just looked more natural for him.
