In all seriousness, for me it was Ron Mercer. He was like a mini-Mike Tyson.
Ha! That's "tough as nails". He'd be intimidating if the other person was 4'7
I gotta go with Tom Payne...off the court.
On the court Mags or Cuz.

The real bad *** was Kenny Walker. He scored with 3 people hqnging on his arms. No one tried to guard him one on one.

Cliff Hagan's reputation at UK and the NBA was his strength and intimidation.
AD if you wanted to drive to the basket, not his physicality, rather your shot was probably getting swatted back at you.
Was thinking along the same lines. I think you could easily put Nerlens in this same category.
I would have loved to have seen these lists if Darryl Dawkins had not gone pro & signed with UK as expected.
This thread definitely shows everyone’s age. Those not listing Lee or Hurt must be on the young side. Nobody wanted to mess with Mike Phillips or Rick Robey either. Was it assistant coach Lynn Nance that wanted to get ahold of Bobby Knight one time?
Just pure mean and intimidating I would say Magloire and then Robey. Phillips was a serious type, did not smile like Magloire and Robey, very strong and wasn't messed with either. But Magloire and Robey really threw their weight around with smiles on their faces.
Mark Pope played for Lynn Nance at Washington. He transferred to UK when Nance left.
