    ... they shave their hair off before a fight (JoeFrazier and others)

    Any other examples?

    Beards. I always get suspicious when fighters grow beards. It's as if they think it might offer some extra punch resistance, but they usually get KTFO.

    I will tell you another one.... guys almost always lose whenthey bring a "spiritual advisor" or a "martial arts expert" in to camp to help them reach their "inner strength, etc etc." I think it is because once you are at the point where you feel you need those things, you are at the point where the usual things stopped working for you and the day i just about done

    Shaven head.

    Holyfield did it and Battered Tyson.........
    Foreman did it and regained Championship..

    Try signing with Don King and ending up with financial problems..

    Then end up getting fat and losing your sanity..

    Mike Dokes,
    James Broad,
    Mitch Green,
    Mike Tyson,
    Jeff Merritt,
    Danny Wlliams.. LOL
