    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.
    dude liston was an enforcer for the mob.

    mike is not even an alpha personality, he's easily manipulated by ppl around him.

    his acts of craziness was a lot of times insecurity/fear. i.e. lewis pre-fight, biting holyfield

      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.

      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.

            Tyso is so overrated and people were not shook of him.

            Foreman was the feared man

              Tyson's myth far exceeds who he actually was.

                    But Tyson just has a more robust, bulldog-ish look to him. His massively wide skull and neck do it, and like I said he has that huge brow bone towering over his eyes which puts a shadow over his squinty eyes. That makes his stare more scary, think of it like a horror movie when they're in a dark room and in the shade a wite ghost appears.

                    You can't see Tyson's eyes very well because of this shade, but the more you stare at it, the more clearly you see them staring back at you with bad intentions. I think that's the key to Tyson's effective stare.
                    HGH gives you that big brow bone like it did for holyfield

                      Tyson was more frightening that Foreman because you couldn't get away from him. He was insanely fast / explosive. You could run from George.
