    He said Frazier was a mean son a gun and that he feared his left hook. He did fear Frazier.

      Im a big tyson fan.
      I think foreman and liston were better intimidators.
      I think Liston was more intimidating until he lost to Ali. Foreman has said on many occasions that Liston was the only person he genuinely feared in and out of the ring....

              Whoever said Duran is smart. I'll throw a few out who haven't been yet. Aaron Pryor was pretty darn scary as was JCC Sr. Against both you knew you were getting punished all over.

                No one beats this one. The winner of the most feared heavyweight of all time is......drumroll........Buster Mathis Jr.!!!!

                LOL.

                    Tyson captured the worlds interest. So one must think his intimidating tactics took him farther than certainly Foreman or Liston. Ask any citizen anywhere who Mike Tyson is... Odds are excellent they will know. From Zimbabwe to Sydney to Moscow to Rio to NY City. Like Ali, he transcended the sport. For that, I'd say he was the greatest intimidator in the history of the sport.

                      Duran was pretty mean, hell even Tyson has admitted to idolizing Duran and mimicking his macho persona.
