I am sure most top boxers aren't intimidated and I know boxers have to say this but due to the multitude of injuries a man like Golovkin can cause you by punching you really really hard it is hard to guarantee how you'll hold up in all circumstances. Brook done well but GGG essentially caved his head in and had him seeing double and at the point he is just a lamb to the slaughter. Kell Brook would have been intimated in that last round as sure as eggs are eggs even if his bravado suggests otherwise.
On the other hand Martin Murray didn't sustain any really bad injuries and was braced to take shots all night.
I doubt any professional boxer gets in there intimidated post Mike Tyson. But I am sure fighters would rather be laid out than sustain fractures and breaks, serious eye damage etc. Golovkin has that horrible power. That is when I think real fighters might even start getting intimidated and live to fight another day becomes a natural solution.
Also not saying Daniel Jacobs can't do this to GGG either.
Logically I think every fighter out there could get intimated.
