    I have heard that Carl Froch has always suffered with bad pre-fight nervous, going all the way back to his amateur days.

    I also recall Tyson talking about how he used to be terrified before his fights.

    Do you know of any other top fighters who have suffered from sever pre-fight nervous?

    It's very interesting to me because you can never really tell from their expression or body language - which I suppose is part and parcel of being a fighter. Don't give anything away!

    A-Force always looked nervous, and always fought scared.

    I'll tell you one guy that didn't. Lewis used to sleep before fights in the dressing room. Nervous of steel that guy.

    :lol: Mind games though innit. Look terrified, lure you're opponent into a false sense of security, then win the first three rounds solely on head movement and defence

    :deal

    Or convince everyone including the judges that you're getting battered, then easily knock the guy out in the 12th round for shits and giggles.
