Staying cool and calm the greatest pre-fight weapon??

First topic message reminder :

There is something intimidating about someone who keeps their cool.......Much more intimidating than a big mouth pointing the finger or attempting to push past security to try to get at you...Surprised more fighters don't do it..

CAMACHO v CHAVEZ........Camacho was using all kinds of bravado at the press conference, throwing his hands up and threatening JC and Chavez just stood there with a smile on his face....and I think it was Camacho that was unnerved more by the experience..Same with Smith-Chavez...

CLEVERLY v Bellew.....I think Bellew with his antics was either scared stiff or trying to upset Cleverly but all he ended up doing was probably convincing himself that the guy thought he was an easy night....Although he was the aggressive one Cleverly made the biggest statement!!!

What you see isn't as worrying as what you don't......

Staying cool calm under fire is the greatest asset of them all....

Perhaps, the illusion of insanity is one of the games best pre-fight tactics...although I believe Oliver McCall may have gone too far!

I think McCall didn't realize the mentally unstable act should be done prior to getting in the ring, not halfway through a fight.

Certified wasn't he...not sure it's a great thing to joke about..

It's working big man, it's working. Not sure if it's your benchpress stats or education, but I'm there to be turned.

Murder on the other hand is a barrell of laughs!

Always rated Lewis in the staying calm before a fight stakes.

He virtually came across as comatose before some fights.

The only glaring exception I can see is in the build up to the second Rahman fight.

Lewis was pretty much sleeping before Tyson.

Just said he was murdered by Mayweather which he was...

Not suggesting his death wasn't serious..

Whereas Tyson was sleeping through the fight.

He certainly was at the end.

Can't get much cooler than that.

Wasn't disagreeing.

Wasn't sleeping when his ankle was being bit...

Didn't mean to give the impression I thought you were.

Well you did apologise

completly agree, groves handling of the degale situation was a good example. if someone is giving it the big one trying to get a reaction and you stand there and let out a little smile and say nothing it is eerie.
