Venus Williams is a world famous tennis star who has dominated the sport with her sister, Serena Williams, for many years. At 6’1”, the four-time Olympic gold medalist towers over her opponents. On top of that, she has a decent amount of muscle mass that is enough to intimidate anyone who stands near her.

Serena is the more well known of the two Williams sisters. She’s also by far the more intimidating of the two. Her demeanor and the way her muscles flex during a match forces fans to be cautious when she’s in the zone. Not to mention, her insanely aggressive serve strikes fear in anyone that is near the tennis court.

Track and field star Jessica Ennis may not be a fighter like most of the ladies on this list, but one look at her muscular athletic body and you might just be a little intimidated. Not to mention, she is an Olympic gold medalist in the Heptathlon, which is an event that requires her to endure vigorous activities that are compiled in seven events. Yeah, I’d like to see you attempt 100 meter hurdles, a javelin throw or a high jump.

Like Ali, Gina Carano was a dominant force in her sport who decided to retire before any permanent physical damage was done to her. It worked out well for Carano as she has turned her skills into becoming a talented actress. Even though she no longer fights in the ring, there are still plenty of reasons to be intimidated by the former MMA fighter and kickboxer.

Sarah Robles is considered to be the strongest woman alive, at least in the United States. It wouldn’t take much for the three-time national champion in weightlifting and Olympian to smash you into pieces, although there’s a good chance she wouldn’t because she’s said to be a very gentle person. Regardless, her 269-pound frame is enough to make you look like a pushover.
