Yawl said them all, I'm adding Roy Jones in his prizzime.
my fave boxer ever and sadly his competition back then is wack and weak era.
I'm not a WWE fan at all, but the real life stories about Haku/Meng are 
 status.
They all go something like "Some guy made an insult at the bar so Meng knocked three guys unconscious then gouged someone's eye out."

that wiki page alone
No shyt. No one else being mentioned here has a history of incidents and rep anything like what Meng established.
I hadn't even heard of him until that "10 gorillas versus 100 Brock Lesnars" thread, when someone suggested that 100 Brock Lesnars = 30 Mengs. That made me look him up, and holy crap....
On 3 March 1989, Fifita got into an altercation with some men at the Baltimore Airport bar who called wrestling "fake", and during the fight, Fifita bit off the nose of one of the men. Fifita stated, "Yeah. It was in Baltimore Airport. There was a hotel there. We were staying at another hotel – the Marriott or something. There was another hotel there, though. It was hopping at the time. The music was playing and it was packed. It was during the week I believe. Me and Siva Afi went over and there were lots of babyfaces there at the bar. So we went and sat in the other corner away from them. When they were ready to close, we had a few drinks, and on our way out there were five guys just sitting there. Of course, the same thing came out. The 'fake' stuff. 'Hey, are you guys with those guys – wrestlers? The fake wrestlers on TV?' You know. I said, 'Yeah. I'll show you.' And I reached over without thinking – there are four other guys there (laughs) – grabbed his face, and bit his nose off. Then the fight started. Me and Siva kind of cleaned house there and left. I'll never forget it (laughs)."
Kevin Sullivan told a story to WWE Classics about the time when he and Haku went to a tavern to grab a few beers before heading to their hotel. According to Sullivan, it was obvious that he and Meng weren't locals, so when they walked into the bar, a guy playing pool called Meng a horrible, derogatory word. "The next thing I know is that Meng goozles the guy like Mr. Spock," Sullivan said. "It was fast and furious. He then grabbed another guy who tried to get involved and knocked him unconscious." After that, things got even crazier. "Meng bit through the guy's shirt like a wolf, bit a chunk out of the guy's back, then spit it on the floor," he said. "I said, 'It's time to go.'" Sullivan said that as they drove from the bar he saw police cars pulling into the parking lot, but authorities didn't pursue them and no charges were ever filed.
Former wrestler Brutus Beefcake called Haku a legitimate killer who could kill multiple people with his bare hands. Beefcake once faced the wrath of Haku himself, after complaining to road agents that Haku was working too stiff. Haku approached him in the shower and picked him up by the neck with two hands, choking him. Only Hulk Hogan, who Haku had tremendous respect for, was able to convince him to let Beefcake go.
The Million Dollar Man said that one time they were in a rough part of St. Louis for a show. Everyone had been drinking and a large fight broke out, which resulted in the police showing up. Meng had a few drinks, but saw the fight break out so he started trying to break it up. In the process, police thought he was part of the fight and maced him then handcuffed him. He said that Meng was cuffed behind his back, looked at the police, and snapped the handcuffs.
In 1987, Haku had a backstage meltdown with Jesse Barr (who wrestled in the WWF as Jimmy Jack Funk) which allegedly resulted in Fifita gouging one of Barr's eyeballs out, causing Barr to later wear a glass eye. After this fight, Fifita had a reputation that steered wrestlers away from backstage confrontations. Regarding the rumor, Fifita, in a 2011 interview, stated "I didn't take his eyeballs off. I was ready to, my hands were in there, ready to take his eye off, together. I told Jim after all these things were about comments made about my hairstyle, he told me to get a comb, and he got fired for it, and all these things here, and I feel bad for him, Jim. It was something that happened at that moment. I was ready to take out both." Funk did not continue to establish connection with the WWF and retired 7 months later with prior notice.
In a radio interview, Bill Goldberg said "I guarantee you, the Steiner Brothers and Meng and The Barbarian would have made a huge splash in the MMA world. I don't know of a human being alive that could take out Meng in his prime. I really don't. One story I remember was when it took like 13 guys to get him out of a bar with Ric Flair. He was pepper sprayed and laughed at the cops and broke the cuffs right in front of them. This was a totally different human being."
In a shoot interview, Barbarian and the Warlord called Haku the toughest guy in the business and narrated an incident in St Louis when Haku threw a 300 lb police officer across the bar. The incident was reported in the news the next day and the police officer who played football for the LA Rams said that it used to take two men to hold him down in football but Haku threw him across the floor like he was only 100 lbs and that he had never been thrown like that in his life.
Legendary wrestling manager Frenchy Martin said in a shoot interview that if one was given a choice of going to hell or facing Fifita, you would be well advised to choose going to hell. He also spoke about an incident in a bar in which he saw Haku defeat six men in a matter of seconds.
In a recent interview, Rick Steiner described an incident in a bar where he witnessed Haku knock out five marines in a matter of seconds. In another interview Steiner, who along with brother Scott was considered one of the legitimate toughest wrestlers, said "Scotty and I always thought we were tough guys but that was before we met Meng."
When Ric Flair was asked which wrestler would do well in MMA, he said "Don’t ever think that anybody would mess with Haku. If he was a young guy and he got into MMA, my god — he’d have done everything! He was the toughest son of a bytch I’ve ever met in my whole life. No lie, take my word for it.". In another interview, Flair described an incident in Japan where Haku threw a basketball player out of a second floor window.
In his biography, “Arn Anderson: 4 Ever” Anderson claims that there are three types of men in the world. There are tough men, there are wrestler-tough men, and then there’s Meng. He was in a completely different category than anyone else on the planet. Anderson recalls one instance where a large cowboy was arguing with Meng and he pushed the cowboy through two different sets of doors using only one hand.
Rikishi picked Haku over Brock Lesnar when he was asked in a shoot interview about who would win in a fight between the two in their respective primes. He said "Brock is tough but Meng is crazy tough!" Also, he spoke about how Haku had saved his life several times and recounted an incident in St Louis when Haku incapacitated seven police officers who tried to arrest him.
In a shoot interview Bobby Heenan talked extensively about Meng and referred to him as the toughest man he has ever met. The most extreme story he shared was in regards to a bar fight in which he claimed Meng "took his two fingers on his right hand, his index finger and trigger finger, and he reached into the guy's mouth and he broke off the guy's bottom teeth." Heenan said that if he hadn't been there and seen it himself, he wouldn't believe it. Heenan was also close friends with Andre the Giant and claimed that the only two men in the world that Andre feared were Meng and Harley Race. Heenan also praised Fifita as a good-hearted family man, who wanted nothing more than to feed his family.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts said during one of his shoot interviews: "If I had a gun and was sitting inside a tank with one shell left and Meng is 300 yards away, he's mine, right? Well the first thing I'm going to do is jump out of the tank and shoot myself because I don't want to wound that son of a bytch and have him pissed off at me."
Wrestler Shane Douglas said in a shoot interview that one would be better off fighting the US Army than fighting Haku. He spoke about an incident when he witnessed several cops trying to hold Haku down and one of them struck Haku with a baton on his face while the others emptied their cans of mace on him but nothing seemed to faze Haku. He also mentioned that Haku was the nicest and friendliest guy but if you pissed him off he could break you in half or do whatever he wanted to do.
In an article on their website, WWE said "Haku has the reputation of being, perhaps, the toughest man to step in the ring. Just the mention of his name would send running chills up the spine of his foes, and some of his friends, too."
Stone Cold Steve Austin called Haku the toughest wrestler of all time and also said that nobody in the business would dispute this fact.
Mexican wrestling superstar El Canek was teaming with El Satanico and Pirata Morgan opposite Haku, Dos Caras, and Villano III in EMLL. Canek, at the time the champion of the UWA promotion, was not aware of Haku's reputation and was angry that Haku was getting the loudest reactions of the crowd. Canek tried to legitimately beat him up during the match. Canek learned that it was almost impossible to do that, and, the EMLL wrestlers who knew of his reputation, were said to be amused by the incident."
In a shoot interview, Road Warrior Animal was asked who was the toughest wrestler he had ever come across and he said "Haku without a doubt ! You could just feel his strength".
Wrestler Perry Saturn, when asked who would win a bar fight between several legitimately tough wrestlers, said, "Tonga. Nobody else would stand a chance. Not even a question. He could kill everyone without blinking and there is nothing anyone could do about it."
In an interview with renowned sports commentator Michael Schiavello, Hulk Hogan was asked to name the legitimate toughest wrestler he knew and he said "Haku for sure".
Wrestler and actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, called Fifita "one of the toughest men in the world" and recounted the nose-biting story in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Johnson told a different version of the story that, in contrast to Fifita being asked if he was a "fake wrestler" on his way out of the bar, involved a seated Fifita being approached by the man, who accused him of being "not so tough".
Veteran ring announcer David Penzer called Meng "the scariest guy in the world but the nicest guy in the world". He also said that Meng and the Barbarian were the two toughest guys in the history of the business.
In a shoot interview, Arn Anderson said "Bar none, the toughest wrestler I ever faced was Meng".
Vader, who was considered one of the toughest wrestlers of his era, said that he would not mess with Meng.
In an interview, Bob Holly called Meng the main guy who nobody would mess with.
In a special feature on their website discussing wrestlers who could give Brock Lesnar a run for his money, UK newspaper Daily Mirror named Haku the toughest wrestler of all time.
Hillbilly Jim said that there were a lot of big, tough guys in the locker room but Haku stood out as the toughest among them.
During Kevin Sullivan’s numerous shoot interviews, he’s spoken extensively on his time working with Meng. He claims that on one occasion when Sullivan was a booker in WCW, he asked Meng to do something that wasn’t major, but it wasn’t completely the right thing to do. He said that Meng got a little upset and it was most scared he’s ever been in his entire life, despite Meng not being that angry.
Sullivan also used Meng to his advantage. Sullivan had to inform a few guys that they would be losing an upcoming match. They wrestlers became upset and told Sullivan they refused to do the job. Sullivan told them that, instead of arguing, he would just go get Meng and have him take care of the situation. They guys immediately agreed to lose their matches if he promised not to go get Meng.
Former head of WCW, Eric Bischoff has said numerous times that Meng was never fired from WCW because no one was brave enough to do it. On one particular day, Bischoff and Greg Gagne walked into the locker room and interrupted a conversation between Meng and Chris Candido, Chris Jericho, and Tammy Sytch. Meng immediately looked at the pair of execs and said, “Hey! Apologize to my friends. I’m talking to them.” According to Candido, the entire room went silent and everyone just froze. It was then that he realized the stories about Meng weren’t just legends. Bischoff and Gagne apologized to them and waited for the conversation to finish before speaking with Meng.

Roy had the speed and power to hurt you whether you was big, small, fast, tall, boxer, or MMA fighter....Yawl said them all, I'm adding Roy Jones in his prizzime.
So did Tyson though...
I fukks with Jon Jones heavy though. I said he was special ever since he got DQ'd in that fight against that white kid...
but
Jon Jones is a good striker for MMA but a shytty boxer. Even Holly Holmes would touch him up with light sparring. Still one of the GOATS. Only Silva and St. Pierre come close Imo
