    Ole Pete wasn't scared at all. That guy was too dumb to be scared. I do remember the Tyson stare down during instructions in that fight. It was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine, except apparently for McNeely, who just stood swaying from side to side with that stupid grin on his face.

    Mosley against pacquiao. Just watch his face as Bayless was giving his final instructions and he was face to face with Pac. He looked like he was begging pac to not hurt him.

    And then watch him before the 1st round starts. He just straight up looked like he didn't wanna be in the ring.

    Oscar has been tense in pretty much every fight hes ever been in. Maybe its the weight of exception, maybe its the only way he feels comfortable but from Gonzalez to Mayweather to Pacquiao hes looked tense as ****. Probably the main reason he started to tire as the fights went on later in his career.

    Certainly not the "most terrified" but the biggest impact an opponent has made on a fighter may have been the impact Hearns had on Duran. Duran did not seem confident at any point, did not seem like his rather boisterous self. I think Hearns got under his skin a fair bit.

    Hamed, but he played it off pretty well. I was pretty damn sure Marco was going to take him out when Naseem couldn't do his usual jump over the rope. I immediately thought "This dude knows what's coming at him, and he doesn't like it".

    Mayweather walking back to the corner after rd2 Mosley - he was humbled
    David Haye in the Borat interview vs Klitschko - it was over there he was shook.

    Morales/Pacquiao 3

    Morales looked like he was going to his own execution during the ring walk for that fight.

    Montiel looked very uncomfortable walking to the ring for his fight with Donaire.
