It has to be Tyson. It was a different level, he was more agressive in and out of the ring than Liston and Foreman. That is shown by how he finished people

Tyson was aggressive as a fighter and looked tough but he never seemed that 'bad' to me until the 90's. Seemed like a nice guy really... not in the ring of course.
Tyson & M. Spinks interview
Tyson talking about Jack Dempsey.
He did not usually try to 'stare down' his opponents like Liston and Foreman did either.

The Title Baddest Man On the Planet was given to him after he came back from prison. So that was taken into account. They were all bad guys, but at any time in his career in the ring tyson was the most ferocious fighter.
BTW The video with tyson talking about Dempsey is great, havent seen that before!

If they weren't in good moods, or especially in Liston's case, drunk, then stay clear.

Not sure about that. He only started using it at a title possibly slightly before prison..but definatley after. I dont recal it being used before the douglas fight, remember Cayton and Jacobs wanted a marketable image so im pretty sure they wudnt of assigned him that title
