Why does no boxer today seem to have the intimidation factor Mike Tyson had?

    Mike Tyson fought only ONE good fighter in whole career in Lewis. His resume is shit.
    Sorry, I forgot, and Evander "Billy Goat" Holyfield.

      It's easy to be superficial about Tyson, behind that he was very skilled but don't take my word for it, check out the videos that go well beyond superficiality.

        You can only fight who is in front of you pending contractual and financial obligations.

        Wladimir's resume is pathetic too. So is Joshua's.

            Not even close.

            Wilder fought tomato cans his first 40 fights.

            Wilder was never intimidating. Hes a professional windmiller who falls down on himself.

            Oh and Tyson Fury beat Wilder clean

            Crooked Al Haymon paying judges off for Deontay, Shawn, etc

                Deontay Wilder does. He may be a nicer guy than Mike was in his prime, but everyone's scared of the Bronze Bomber
