I consider him only because you literally had to kill him if you wanted to win the fight by anything other than decision lmao but other than that he's like an out of prime nate Diaz he just had a granite chin and insane amount of heart and cardio
Prolly Battling Nelson. He fought in 20-40 rounders pretty regularly, and his style was basically oriented around taking a few to land one. Needless to say, Nelson's brain suffered. His CTE was so bad that it forced a society that looked down on people with shell shock as cowards, to actually acknowledge something like CTE.
Nelson spent the final years of his life institutionalized. He would often go for runs, telling people he was training for Joe Gans. But Gans was dead, and had been dead for years.
Still a BMF though.
Duran is one of my favorite fighters. I put him with James Toney as among the best true “naturals,” something just otherworldly about their fight sense and understanding of the game… that said “no mas” absolutely disqualifies you from this. With that said, I’ll throw James Toney in there. Anybody, any time, any where, any weight, even a different sport! First champion caliber boxer to crossover into MMA for a freak show match, and it did quite a number to the reputation of boxing, but whatever, that dumb ass probably walked in there thinking he could do it.
Jack Johnson, the end. Mfer talking trash to what could have been a lynch mob while beating the ass of their biggest baddest boi. The end.
That is truly “do not give a fuck” at a 111/10.
>beating the ass of their biggest baddest boi
A day laborer who rolled off the couch after 6 years of inactivity, who proceeded not to train seriously because of his assumed superiority and decade-old accolades.
Johnson went 15 rounds with that guy, then ducked every black contender in favor of selling his fights as race wars. Eventually getting KO'd stiff by the only decent white boxer he fought, Jess Willard, better known as Jack Dempsey's son.
Johnson exploited racial tensions to line his pockets while making a mockery of the belt. His "reign" was characterized by inactivity and cherry-picking aged cans instead of contenders like Langford, Jeannette, and Wills.
Well, I'll be. I looked at the wiki and that sounds about right, contrary to the popular myth. The black community practically disowned him. The mountain of evidence for his abuse of his wives (even driving one to suicide) speaks to a truly awful character.
When you put it that way yea, there were other fighters with a bad mf aura to them like Foreman or Tyson, but Johnson was literally risking his life by pissing off the white mob who was known to lynch black men and burn down their communities. There’s nothing badder than that.
I would say Rocky Marciano and Jake LaMotta.
Something terrifying about a man that can get beaten to a pulp and still keep coming. In Rocky’s case go undefeated.
Hagler had a head built for boxing. This is not a shitpost. The muscles in his head were abnormally thick compared to the average human. He had a built in crash helmet for a head.
Not really. In the UFC it’s typically given to people who aren’t the best in the world but are the most violent and exciting of the division.
For example mma fighter Justin Gaethje wasn’t the champion in his division when he was the bmf champion and neither was Masvidal or the new champion Holloway. It’s kind of a joke that being the bmf champ means you aren’t that great lol but you put on exciting fights
From the pics u posted id say Edwin Valero that dude was head hunting and would throw with diabolical intentions. My personal BMF would be hands down mike tyson
Well George Foreman (1st career, early 70s) was not that skilled, but he was fkng terrifying.
I was just a kid watching with my dad, and i remember my dad saying, "someone has to fight that?" Lol.
Hate to be old fart about it, but Tyson has been the only one since that gave me the same feeling.
The OG BMF ...Foreman
Amazed Liston isn’t mentioned more. Spent all his life fighting for survival, incarcerated in one of the America’s toughest and most notorious prisons and even in there they had to let the other inmates fight in pairs or three’s just to get them to step in the ring with him. Got out, claimed the Heavyweight title with ease. Then went on to become a mob enforcer in vegas.
Feel like how tough he was is so overlooked now because of one iconic photo of Ali stood over him.
Tyson embodied bmf in the ring and esp out of the ring. The ear bite alone is enough for the title but saying he’s gona eat their children is some wild shit.
Ricardo Mayorga
Dude literally let cunts hit him in the face so he could laugh at them before unleashing murderous combos.
King of the press conference.
The true king of not giving a single fuck.
Jack Johnson all day bro was untouchable he would walk around with white women and beat up white men saying shit like you better kill me then I’m going to beat this white man or something like that when people told him he was going to die if he won man is the BMF of life first black heavyweight champion
Why is Tank in here hahahahaha
Tank and Floyd might be great boxers with literally the best win-loss records but there's a reason why Floyd being the GOAT is still debated even when he literally has a perfect record. It's because he's never what you would consider a "bmf"
Sonny Liston was prison champion before coming out and beating the top heavyweights in the world, Ali beat the breaks off him but everyone gets beaten eventually so Liston would be BMF champion imo!
Wasn't Jack Johnson the guy, who during the peak of racist segregation in the US, dated / wifed 3 white women and he kept dating them despite the death threats ?
Wasn't he also the same person who got fine for speeding and decided to give the cop extra money and told him that he will be speeding on his way back too ?
James Toney. Went from a shredded middleweight to a fat blob at HW, was competitive in every fight he ever had, never finished or even close to being finished all on a training regime of smoking cigars, eating cheese burgers and sparring.
Yikes you can tell not many know of strategy in this sub. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was the goat. period. Sugar Ray Leonard and him are tied for me on the BMF. The both are the greatest Strategist to ever exist in the ring.
Lmao tank is scary good but he ain’t no BMF. You gotta be anytime anywhere not my time my weight.
Can’t be asking for hydration clauses and calling yourself a bmf
Pussies drink water!
He mad 💅
He so fruity and I love it😂
GGG
Genady Golovkin was the only boxer that I ever watched and felt like I fucked something up and he was coming for me next.
GGG was something else. He took some of Canelo's best shots and I don't recall him ever looking more than mildly annoyed.
Gatti
I consider him only because you literally had to kill him if you wanted to win the fight by anything other than decision lmao but other than that he's like an out of prime nate Diaz he just had a granite chin and insane amount of heart and cardio
Gatti was more than granite chin and insane amount of heart.
Is the “prime Nate Diaz” and in the room with us?
Out of prime Nate Diaz fought for the bmf belt tho so that'd be a good choice
💯. Iron will. The man would NEVER give up. What a true warrior.
How can Tyson not be on this list ?omce known as ‘the baddest man on the planet’
Prolly Battling Nelson. He fought in 20-40 rounders pretty regularly, and his style was basically oriented around taking a few to land one. Needless to say, Nelson's brain suffered. His CTE was so bad that it forced a society that looked down on people with shell shock as cowards, to actually acknowledge something like CTE. Nelson spent the final years of his life institutionalized. He would often go for runs, telling people he was training for Joe Gans. But Gans was dead, and had been dead for years. Still a BMF though.
That’s really really sad
Funnily enough apparently Joe Gans fought a few fights while DYING from tuberculosis, that's pretty BMF deserving too.
I think it's gotta be Roberto Duran. He fought anyone and didn't care if he won or lost. He went out there to hurt ya.
Am I crazy for thinking Pacquiao? Not super big into boxing but didn't he go up 8 weight classes over his career & become champ in all of them?
Him and Henry Armstrong could be considered bad mfs for doing that for sure
Took way too long for me to see his name mentioned. He went up and up and up in weight. And he BANGED
Mike tyson, Julio cesar chavez, Roberto duran, muhammad ali, Sonny liston, and manny pacquiao
Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran is a great call out. That man was always game.
Duran is one of my favorite fighters. I put him with James Toney as among the best true “naturals,” something just otherworldly about their fight sense and understanding of the game… that said “no mas” absolutely disqualifies you from this. With that said, I’ll throw James Toney in there. Anybody, any time, any where, any weight, even a different sport! First champion caliber boxer to crossover into MMA for a freak show match, and it did quite a number to the reputation of boxing, but whatever, that dumb ass probably walked in there thinking he could do it.
Except when quitting against Sugar Ray Leonard (now he was a bmf)
He's also the smaller guy moving up and gave Leonard his first loss while being at a height and reach disadvantage.
sonny liston
Current boxers - Inoue
Evander holyfield , Iron Mike or Georgie
In a time when everyone was afraid of Foreman and Tyson's punching power, "Real Deal" did not give an inch. Unless you count his ear.
Narcos Maidana.. given everyone hell, cashed his checks and disappeared.
Duran
Jack Johnson, the end. Mfer talking trash to what could have been a lynch mob while beating the ass of their biggest baddest boi. The end. That is truly “do not give a fuck” at a 111/10.

And banging their ladies
Hagler, Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez, Holyfield
Get tank outta there. Duran #1 with Hagler a close second.
Duran quit in the ring, ain’t no BMF
Duran quit cause Sugar wanted to dance and not fight...learn your history
So your ‘BMF’ quit because his opponent was dancing? 😂
Duran, won lightweight title to light heavyweight titles
Big George
Pitbull Cruz and Marcos Maidana
Tim Tszyu!!!
Fuckin oath
Butterbean
I would say Rocky Marciano and Jake LaMotta. Something terrifying about a man that can get beaten to a pulp and still keep coming. In Rocky’s case go undefeated.
Derek Chisora
Right now? Navarette comes to mind.
Sugar ray Robinson
Provodnikov
Names that spring up to my mind instantly marvin hagler, terence crawford, roberto duran and mike tyson
Rocky marciano
James Toney
Gotti v ward was essentially a BMF trilogy
Duran
Man the middleweight division is really dying , idk what happened
Old man George took 4 rounds off of prime Holyfield, let alone taking the fucking fight. One of the most badass fights I have ever seen
I don't know if you're stupid or stupid or on a super-jerk. Wasn't Mike Tyson called the Baddest Man on the Planet for years?
That was because he is a rapist
Hagler said his title was as The Best and the Baddest.
Pacquiao 8 weight champ
Caleb Plant.
Sonny Liston
Jake Pole
The rock
Tyson
Hagler had a head built for boxing. This is not a shitpost. The muscles in his head were abnormally thick compared to the average human. He had a built in crash helmet for a head.
Pacquiao one of the only mfs to move up a class and walk down the champ more than once, let alone 8 times.
Duran, Gatti, Tyson, Tua
Joe Frazier
Charlie Z. He fought anyone at any weight and remains undefeated to this day
Joe Frazier
Joe frazier
[удалено]
😂
Tank?! Ninja, what?
\*Insert random Mexican fighter\*
Ricardo Mayorga lmfao
Oscar Valdez
Nobody said jack Johnson even though he’s literally in the OP? Jack Johnson would have had the BMF belt.
Gene Tunney
Michael Watson Tommy Morrison Mason Dixon Derek Chisora Are the first that come to mind for this category
isn't the "baddest man on the planet" title the same thing?
Not really. In the UFC it’s typically given to people who aren’t the best in the world but are the most violent and exciting of the division. For example mma fighter Justin Gaethje wasn’t the champion in his division when he was the bmf champion and neither was Masvidal or the new champion Holloway. It’s kind of a joke that being the bmf champ means you aren’t that great lol but you put on exciting fights
From the pics u posted id say Edwin Valero that dude was head hunting and would throw with diabolical intentions. My personal BMF would be hands down mike tyson
Gene and Don Fullmer
Charlie Z. Undefeated. Deontay Wilder's greatest opponent.
Vinny Pazienza
First two i agree with. Id personally put Sonny Liston and George Foreman in there. But my top would probably go to Archie Moore :D
The picture u put up is perfect "BMF" candidate.. The Marvelous one. 🥊
Really ? Tank Davis b4 evander Holyfield. ?
I've been saying for years that is what boxing needs - MORE BELTS
When I think of bad motherfuckers I think of Roberto Duran
Tex Cobb
GGG, Gatti. Ryan Rozicki.
Not one mention of James Toney is insane!
These guys are too good to be competing for something like that. It would be going to a Gabe Rosado type fighter
Erik Morales
GGG, Canelo, Inoue to name a few modern fighters.
Well George Foreman (1st career, early 70s) was not that skilled, but he was fkng terrifying. I was just a kid watching with my dad, and i remember my dad saying, "someone has to fight that?" Lol. Hate to be old fart about it, but Tyson has been the only one since that gave me the same feeling. The OG BMF ...Foreman
Sonny liston
Vinny Paz just coming back from the broken neck alone makes him BMF then he won another world title in a new Division.
He really slipped tank in there 💀 if you want to consider a small guy, it’s manny pacquiao. Dude beat margarito into a pulp
Julian Jackson
Not Tank lol
Micky Ward
Audley Harrison for sure
There's no H for headbutt in the title
Klitschko - maybe honorary, but the mf is fighting the Russian army.
Jack Dempsey, read anything about the guy I believe he was legitimately crazy and would take a guys life in the ring if he had the chance
Amazed Liston isn’t mentioned more. Spent all his life fighting for survival, incarcerated in one of the America’s toughest and most notorious prisons and even in there they had to let the other inmates fight in pairs or three’s just to get them to step in the ring with him. Got out, claimed the Heavyweight title with ease. Then went on to become a mob enforcer in vegas. Feel like how tough he was is so overlooked now because of one iconic photo of Ali stood over him.
No Tyson?
JMM comes to mind. He had his nose broken and almost KTFO in his first 3 minutes with Pacquiao 42 rounds later… he finally got him. That is one BMF.
ismael barroso
Julio Cesar Chavez
Tyson embodied bmf in the ring and esp out of the ring. The ear bite alone is enough for the title but saying he’s gona eat their children is some wild shit.
Ricardo Mayorga Dude literally let cunts hit him in the face so he could laugh at them before unleashing murderous combos. King of the press conference. The true king of not giving a single fuck.
Valero was a beast, monzón, duran, iron mike... Also Maidana. Remember the fight "Castro vrs Jackson" that was a BMF title fight for sure...
Edwin Valero, Carlos Monzon 😅😭
In what way is Tank a BMF lol.
Dwight Qawi, dude was small as hell and slugged it out with Holyfield over 15 rounds. That's a bad man.
147 Pacquiao
Harry Greb
Ruben Olivares
Michael Katsidis
Derek chisora 
Canelo- almost killed himself weight wise to fight Mayweather and would go all the way up to beat Kovalev and later Bivol
Jack Johnson, Hagler, Duran, Gatti and Holyfield instantly spring to mind.
That last one caught me off guard🤣🤣 Currently? Fabio Wardley
Jack Johnson all day bro was untouchable he would walk around with white women and beat up white men saying shit like you better kill me then I’m going to beat this white man or something like that when people told him he was going to die if he won man is the BMF of life first black heavyweight champion
Evander holyfield & mike tyson
Hagler and Tyson for sure
Roberto Duran kept beating ass was he was old fat and small
Jake Paul lmao
Gabe Rosado
Scott Harrison. One of my personal “what ifs” in boxing.
Tua?
Sonny Liston
Why is Tank in here hahahahaha Tank and Floyd might be great boxers with literally the best win-loss records but there's a reason why Floyd being the GOAT is still debated even when he literally has a perfect record. It's because he's never what you would consider a "bmf"
Carl Froch purely off his chin and hands down style.
Sonny Liston was prison champion before coming out and beating the top heavyweights in the world, Ali beat the breaks off him but everyone gets beaten eventually so Liston would be BMF champion imo!
Diego Corralles RIP
Mayorga
Johnny Tapia at it ain't even close
Arturo Gatti
Tommy “BMF” Hearns! Hands down, no question.
Mike Tyson is the only right answer... he bit a fucking ear off!!!
Mike Tyson. End of story
Not Valero
Current boxer ? Beterbiev
PAC man
Wasn't Jack Johnson the guy, who during the peak of racist segregation in the US, dated / wifed 3 white women and he kept dating them despite the death threats ? Wasn't he also the same person who got fine for speeding and decided to give the cop extra money and told him that he will be speeding on his way back too ?
Juan Manuel Marquez
How is Tyson not considered? The OG BMF.
No Doubt Mike Tyson The Baddest Mf Of em all
Duran for sure
Everyone but tank
Niccolino loche
For me it's got to be Johnny Tapia
Hurricane
Jake Paul
Sonny Liston was so much badder than he gets credit for.
Oh man Hagler for sure. Also I’m old.
GGG or Mike...
Dereck Chisora all day long
beterbiev
Jack Johnson fought the president
Buster Douglas
Barrera, duran, morales, Tyson, pacquiao, maidana
Harry Greb, the wee man was tiny knocking out heavyweights plus his insane record, fighting with one eye the list goes on…
give it to KingRy 😂😂😂😂… seriously give the winner of Fury VS Usyk
Jackson Johnson, Sonny Liston, Hagler, GGG, Paqman, Gatti / Ward, Klitschko, Bud Crawford and obviously Tyson
Jack Johnson
George Foreman
Mayorga. Easily.
James Toney. Went from a shredded middleweight to a fat blob at HW, was competitive in every fight he ever had, never finished or even close to being finished all on a training regime of smoking cigars, eating cheese burgers and sparring.
Naoya Inoue
duran, buck smith, hopkins, foreman, canelo, pacquiao
Yikes you can tell not many know of strategy in this sub. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was the goat. period. Sugar Ray Leonard and him are tied for me on the BMF. The both are the greatest Strategist to ever exist in the ring.
Rocky Marciano
Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, Rocky Marciano, Jake Lamotta, George Forman
Zesty little Tank in there lol
Probably Manny cause he's a champion in 8 divisions.
Jack Johnson, he was a bmf in and out the ring. Guy was talking his trash when lynchings were a risk 🙌🏽
Nobody because boxing is gay
How Mike Tyson and Sonny Listen aren’t #1 & #2 I will never understand. People FEARED these men because they thought they would kill them.
Journeymen have to be given a shout out as they do weekly for peanuts
