      Nikolay Valuev due to his size, the man doesn't look real hes like a monster, also Roy Jones since he was so unpredictable and without any doubt mike tyson i dont think i need to say why...

        Probably been said a million times, but Mike Tyson by far seemed to most intimidate his opponenents.

          John the beast Mugabi had the potential to be Intimidating at one time in his carrer but he got lazy.

            I think Mugabi sort of had a padded record but it makes me think of Gerald McClellan who had to be one of the most indimidating boxers both in the amateure ranks and as a professional before the unfortunate end of his career.

              It's a different kind of intimidating but I'd say Roy Jones. He's not mean looking... you know, the kind of guy you wouldn't want to meet in an alley.

              But he didn't intimidate with power... he intimidated you with his speed. I don't know how many fighters (well, probably every one up until Tarver) went into a fight with Roy saying they were going to out punch him, etc. but ended up being "dazzled" by his blinding speed. Most fighters started out the first round or so throwing punches but once they started getting countered, they ended up being too scared to throw punches. This led to many, many somewhat boring Roy Jones' victories.

              Now me personally, I would not want to have been in the ring with Mike Tyson at any point in his career. He's got a intimidating build, speed, power, he bites and he's got a general disdain for all human life.

                      Sonny Liston
                      George Foreman
                      Mike Tyson
                      u can't really go wrong with tht list

                      Tyson after the Spinks fight was the most intimadating
                      Foreman after he destoryd Frazier 4 sur was the most
                      intimanating fighter off all,
