Pre fight stare downs that gave you chills

[jameswilson]

I remember mentioning a few weeks back that in the Tennyson v Straffon fight when the ref was giving the final instructions, Straffon looked like a seriously bad mofo.

Also the Benn v McClellan staredown before the fight looked genuinely scary. McClellan was definitely staring a guy down who didn't care.


What are your favourite stare downs whether it be at the weigh in, press conference or pre fight instructions?

GOT ANY EXCUSES TONIGHT ROY?

[coghaugen11]

Most Nigel Benn ones. He was demented, like genuinely wanted to hurt people bad.

[JC]

Ali vs both Liston and Foreman

[IRONFIST]

Tommy Hearns with Hagler.

[mickey1975]

Hasbulla

[Noxy]

Most Nigel Benn ones. He was demented, like genuinely wanted to hurt people bad.

Conor likes them too.

[MightyWarrior]

The most intense must be Sugar Ray v Wilfred Benitez .......it starts before they come together for refs instructions

[Steveh583]

michael gomez was a livewire when it was staredown time wasn't he?

[bigjack]

Tommy Hearns with Hagler.

This

[My Name Is Earl]

The giant Cuban with Tyson looked the part, and if i remember rightly he went the distance.

Valuev on Monte Barret. Hammer house of Horrors stuff.

Most entertaining has to be Hamed and Kelly. Pure entertainment, and this was during the
introductions.

Jose Ribalta had eyes like saucers for that one

[THEBUTCH]

Robert Guerrero v Michael Katsidis

Guerrero was unflappable during the stare down when Katsdis yelled at him "what are YOU looking at"?

That's him, cheers jack. The eyes the eyes. I feared for Mike that night.

Benitez had the cold blooded assassin look.

[bigjack]

Tommy Hearns with Hagler.

Most fights involving Hearns or Hagler they both scared the crap out of me

[THEBUTCH]

Bruno against Tyson in their first fight.

Frank did his best

[JamesPhilips]

Mike Tyson against a variety of people. Michael Spinks for example

[THEBUTCH]

Such a good boxer was Spinks, but he was petrified against Tyson.

[Gnome]

Drago.

[Stobbo]

Always thought hearns was the master. seemed to look through his opponents

[oogiebe]

Mike Tyson vs Peter McNeely. That was the most menacing to me. Tyson's eyes going back and forth like a clock while chewing on his mouth piece.

[bennie]

Ron Lyle against George Foreman is a good one. Jim Watt made Howard Davis turn away in their staredown just after the weigh-in to their 1979 fight at Hampden Park. Davis had repeatedly labelled that champion "Jim Who?"

[coghaugen11]

Davis was a bit overawed by how big boxing was over here and the support for Watt.

[My Name Is Earl]

Mike Tyson vs Peter McNeely. That was the most menacing to me. Tyson's eyes going back and forth like a clock while chewing on his mouth piece.

That was the very definition of 'chomping at the bit'.
