    Fighters are braver than hell but I swear that Spinks looked scared against Tyson and Golota looked terrified against Lewis.

    Can you guys think of any others?

    I remember thinking Bruno looked scared in his rematch with Tyson, and Locket not looking comfy before facing Pavlik. I also thought Williams looked scared before his victory over Tyson

    I remember tyson flooring a guy with an uppercut and he sat up and looked at him like "what the **** was that??!?!"

    I think all fighters get wound up before a fight but I'm not sure about being scared. Maybe they do when they just know they are going to get a pasting ie Spinks vs Tyson.

    Mailer famously called Ali on being scared after round one with Foreman. I tend to agree with him.

    the appropriate thing to do was to also post the part where this guy gets knocked the **** OUT

    Not many people mention it, but to me, Hatton looked absolutely terrified during his ring walk for the Pacquiao fight. He looked like a death row inmate headed to his death. Am I the only one who noticed that?

    Tyson looked just as terrified during his ring walk for the Lewis fight.
