"Pre" or Steve Prefontaine. He intimidated all runners right into the ground.
Don Drysdale for baseball. I like the Willie Mays story. |

dunno about intimidating....
I don't know if "intimidating" is the correct word but I think Michael Jordon in his prime was about as dominant as an athlete can get.....or Mark Spitz in the '72 Olympics.....

Intimidating IMO means that the guy scares opponents before he does anything just by his presence.
Boxing: Mike Tyson in his heyday. He basically made opponents wet their pants before the bell rang. Add to that the fact that he was a street criminal in his youth, a rapist in his adulthood, and by all admissions of people close to him has violent mood swings, and I think you have a genuinely scary, violent customer. Baseball: Ty Cobb [vintage] and Nolan Ryan. Cobb won through intimidation, which is why he had so few friends. Ryan took no crap from anyone, ever. Plus his beatdown of Robin Ventura is a classic. Football: They Call Me Assassin was one of my favorite sports books as a kid, so I have to go with Jack Tatum. Honorable mention to Jim Brown--if he couldn't go around you, he'd just go through you. 5.22 yards per carry for his career, highest all time, and averaged over 100 yards per game for his career. Basketball: Bill Russell. He changed entire game plans with his defensive play. 22.5 rebounds per game for a career. Hockey: The Hammer, Dave Schultz. The baddest bad boy on the Broad Street Bullies.
