    De La Hoya always had nervous energy, causing him to tire late in fights. He had good whiskers, so it wasn't necessary to be so twitchy.

    Some fights he looks properly relaxed though, like against Mayorga.

    Another Tyson-obsessed thread spreading your agenda. Really, he's not a good pick for the most part. Mosley is an obvious one.

    Wlad Klit, until recently was very tense and he still is under pressure. His collapses against Brewster and Purrity are testament to this, more so with Brewster where he was a bag of nerves

    Agreed Tyson isn't the best pick, he's intense but he's often thinking in there and relaxes between bouts of violence. On the frontrunning intensity types, Nigel Benn was pure intensity but he had the stamina to keep it going

    Jermaine Taylor and Bruno the best, both very tense. Mosley a pretty good one, although more so past prime.

    I don't know...he seemed to loosen up pretty well after 4 1/4 rounds.
