Maybe not the scariest but by far the most violent one in sports is Joey Barton. None of these ''gangsters'' like Oak or whoever came close to this guy lol. Dude has a rap sheet miles long fighting with fans..Fighting with players...Fighting with his own club..When i say fight i dont mean verbal...Physical exchanges which landed him in jail. I dont know if i remember correctly but i think he tried to beat someone up with a golf club once.

Mad man.

and yet, Artest was scared of Ben Wallace (and his avoidance of Ben led directly to the malice in the palace)

Ben scared Artest. Whole bunch of NFL players got Ron’s build at 6’7 250 and will hurt anything moving

If you are his Wife I think Jason Kidd rates.

Ray Lewis would make Artest poop a lil in his pants.

Kendall Gill is a pretty skilled fighter He might qualify as a combat fighter though since he did have a career.

For today though it is Lamar Odom... look at that flawless technique he used. Better than Manute Bol fighting the Fridge

Side note on the fridge I was in line next to him all day at six flags one day, post his playing career... what a mass of a human being.

Ben Wallace way over Artest. But fighting and stuff like that is a lot of aggression mixed with size. Look at some NFL d lineman or offensive tackles with huge wingspans and 100+ pounds on these NBA guys. I don’t think many humans would want to get tangled up with a guy like Trent Williams who calls himself a Siverback. Even got a tattoo saying as much.

I love Artest. I really do. Befriended that fan he punched in Detroit and I’ve always found him interesting. With that being said, he would have got his ass beat by Ben Wallace at the Malice at the Palace I think had they been allowed to fight each other.

Being afraid of Ben Wallace does make you a coward now?

The correct answer.

Was the first name I thought of, especially when you consider how out of his mind he was with his drug problem...honorable mention to Ray Lewis who was a monster himself. Completely different level of freak athlete and strength. They would slap Artest sane.
