    Which fighter is impossible to break at the obligatory head to head staredowns at press conferences and weigh ins ?

    I have to say Vitali Klitschko is an absolute beast when it comes to these types of thing, granted you do have Wladimir stood over his shoulder also staring out the opponent but Vitali has the look of a pure ruthless gangster in them staredowns, look at the weigh in against Adamek, I thought Adamek was gonna sh!t in his pants.

    Also the weigh in staredown with Chris Arreola was awesome.

    Wilfred Benitez, Thomas Hearns, and Ray Leonard all had incredible staredowns against one another. Among the best I've ever seen.

    Yeah, can't be forgetting Mike. You see him explain his stare down technique in the documentary 'Tyson'?

    El Radar.

    Tyson usually didn't bother with the pre-fight staredown though, as intimidating as he was. He had some fights when he got into it, like against Ribalta, but that was the exception rather than the norm.
