Ben Wallace was going to ring his neck and he wanted no part of it. Ben Wallace was a hell of a boxer

His nemesis Ben Wallace was a scary looking dude.

That said, Jazz coach looks like a kingpin of all these scary looking guys in the league.

It's Vinny Jones. He was legit crazy and wasn't afraid to genuinely hurt guys on the pitch. Dude went on to become an action movie star

No, dude is a coward. Picks on people he can beat up, elbows harden when he’s not looking and runs from Ben Wallace faster than road runner. Dude legit pretended he needed to cool down because he didn’t want none and then went and beat up fat guys half his size in the stands.

New Jack from Pro Wrestling (ECW). Actually a lot of Pro Wrestlers are pretty tough and most of them would probably beat up Ron Artest (not so much this eras guys, though I barely watch now)

Hockey, Rugby and American Football has a ton of guys. Pretty sure some baseball guys would beat up Ron though they are not "scary".

Don't think Artest is even the scariest basketball player of his era.

Big Ben was about to beat his ass but Ron was shook

I got Aaron Donald in a fight against any current non combat sports athlete including prime Ron

Ron Artest is one of those fake tough guys who bullies those weaker than him. Ben Wallace punked him and he didn't do anything about it but some nerd from the stands threw something and all of sudden he wants to fight.

If Ron Artest is fake tough, Who are the real tough ones? Dude was really scary.
There are some scary tough soccer player (Gattusso and Diego Simeone) but they weren't 6'7" built like a tank.
