    Relaxed:

    Floyd Mayweather
    Old George Foreman
    James Toney
    Carlos Monzon


    Jittery:

    Amir Khan
    Shane Mosley
    Jermain Taylor

    Even when Shane was probably relaxed and whooping ass, he still seemed a bit jittery and frantic at times.


    Oscar was also a bit on the jittery side, seemingly not as relaxed as other fighters of his caliber.

    Howards Davis Jr always seemed a bit jittery to me, Cory Spinks at times too.

    I know those aren't the best examples.

    Devon Alexander is far too ****ing jittery.

    Haha I've nailed it! Ryan Coyne!

    There is not a more jittery fighter in the ring than Ryne Coyne, if you can find one, then you are a much, much better man than I.

    Ryan Coyne vs Guillermo Jones would have been the ultimate clash of jittery vs calm.

    I think of him being much more 'tense' than say 'jittery' in the Shane Mosley style. He looked tense from beginning to end, might have contributed to why he tired out in the middle rounds later on in his career. Either way he was never relaxed.
