    What fighters out there are amazing when they open up but most of the time they seem to be battling themselves in their head moreso than their opponent?

    Any boxer who was a brawler, trying to convert to being a pure boxer...

    Yeah. Or pretty much any fighter that's over the hill / shot . Can't let the punches go.

    Even before he was shot he was like that though. He just had no instintive reactions to anything, ever. He always needed to digest things before figuring out what he was supposed to do next.

    Another guy with a chronic overthinking problem is Brian Viloria.

    I'll stay with my previous choices whenever a thread like this comes up (though I wouldn't call them amazing):

    De la hoya is a great shout. So many times in the Quartey fight he'd just stand there and watch Ike jab but when he let loose, he looked great.
