most intimidating british fighters

[margaret thatcher]

talk of tyson-spinks got me thinking about this question -- who are they?

now and historically

[margaret thatcher]

i think, at least before ruiz, aj was very intimidating

[coghaugen11]

Nigel Benn

[MightyWarrior]

Two welterweights, Honeyghan & Colin Jones. Honey for his 2/3 year prime was a fearsome figure that even Tyson was in awe of. Jones had that dead pan look of an undertaker ( well he was a gravedigger early in his career ) and a punch in either hand that could put lights out.

Now, Josh Taylor, he’s got that 1000 yard stare and backs it up.
Michael Gomez ..psycho

[dookus]

Mark Potter was a scary-looking dude in his prime

[bigjack]

Nigel Benn

Benn and Colin Jones for me

[gregregegg]

Eubnak sr. He isnt intimidating with the presence of violence, but when ever i hear him talk i cant help but think im a common buffoon and not worthy to be listening.

[Dioufy]

Michael Gomez.

[maverick23]

A peak Naz was pretty intimidating.

[Wee Tommy]

Kenny Anderson was a hard guy.

As far as being a wild man and looking hard as nails you can’t beat Owen Moran.

[Steveh583]

scott harrison looked intimidating.

michael gomez unhinged.

benns intensity obv.

eamonn magee had an air of menace to him, tho more outside the ring.

[Coco]

Hatton too, people have already forgotten due to the comedy routines he does now.

I have no doubt he was an absolute horror to box against at domestic level

[Controversial]

Nigel Benn for me, he was menacing looking, Tyson-esque in many ways and looked like he wanted to rip your head off.

[London Boy]

Herbie Hide weren’t right!

facially, moran gives my josh taylor + ricky hatton hybrid vibes

[rob h]

Eamon Magee has my vote

Thanks for sorting that mate, I’m shite with images on here.

No matter what folk say about the past, a guy like Moran would eat todays fighters for breakfast. His story is crazy and you can see in his eyes he doesn’t give a fornicate for anyone.

[stujones]

Michael Gomez.

Personally I find just a "hard looking" guy or someone smiling worse. So I would say Scott Harrison / Eamonn Magee or Naz (his smiling and dancing in the referee's instruction) worse than Gomez's head in your face tactic which felt a bit "fake" and made it look like he was wound up (and therefore would tire).

[mickey1975]

Harrison and Magee actually looked unhinged. Gomez just looked like a rough kid

[forcefraser]

I always got shivers when I saw Nicky Piper in full battle staredown mode

[dookus]

Darren Corbett I always thought intimidating due to the "clearly doesn't give a fück" factor

[bigjack]

Colin McMillan and Kid Galahad both scared the crap out of me too
