    Scared? Mike Tyson generated fear, Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Fury? no. I'm sorry I can't do psycho analysis on something like Haye

    Way Wilder was acting prior to fighting him showed fear, anxiety & adrenaline dumps.

    A bit of fear is always good, keeps you sharp. Respect for your opponent in boxing is basically the same thing as fear because in boxing the only thing you're doing is punching each other in the dome.

    Think Fury had no fear or anxiety about what Wilder was capable of? He did...difference is he controls himself emotionally to a very high level in a boxing ring.

    Silly thread. Vitali retired because he was getting old and because he wanted a career in politics.

    Tyson Fury feared the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, and twice avoided it.

    The only scared guy is Fury who ducked a rematch with ancient Wlad.

    Vitali retired because he was getting hit with punches from charr that he should never have, he realized his reflexes were leaving so he did the smart thing and left.

    Lame as hell wind up/ troll thread. A bit surprised the mods let this one through.

    Fear for a fight that Vitali could have won safely for KO or decision?

    BS

    I'm sure Vitali was scared to death of a guy who punches himself in the face and beat the great Vinny "Ay, don't call me Vinny" Maddelone :lol:

    He totally didn't retire because he was 42 and half the boxer he was prior to the knee injury which initially retired him...
