people talk shyt about wrestlers(wwe) but them dudes lift weights and take roids for a living and tyson in his prime was the most intimidating man in the planet as far as mma goes you can hate lesnar but you can't dispute how he looked coming to the ring i'm surprised how few jim brown, hershel walker, and even bubba smitn names got mentioned those ol school dudes were a different type
Yea... Lesnar is pretty impressive
What's even more impressive is that he went to fight top MMA comp without NEARLY as much training and experience. Despite Lesnar sucking against good comp, he beat some legit dudes and probably would still be successful in MMA if he hadn't got sick
And best believe, dudes were intimidated by him. MMA dudes are pretty cocky (and roided, obviously) so they try to act like size isn't a factor... With someone like Lesnar, it is. Dude was freakishly fast, freakishly strong, freakishly big with a wrestling background at least
George Foreman was probably the most physically intimidating boxer, punching holes through Heavy Bags and shyt, but Tyson was easily the most intimidating period. Dude fought like a lightweight at heavyweight. Definitely an athletic role model to me
Wilt got Shaq in basketball. Shaq was a beast in them Orlando days... I almost shed a tear. Barkley was intimidating too... As well as Oakley. It was rough in the 80's/90's bball era.
Football... Too many to name imo.
Not too sure about other sports. Looks like there were some freakishly athletic dudes everywhere
