Fury/Wlad is the biggest recent example. Fury said to Wlad he had grey hairs, Wlad ran to shave them off. Fury said he was bigger, Wlad came in taller than Vitali (and people were buying it) Fury said Wlad's age is a sentence, Wlad built a bouncy castle to slow Fury down. Wlad was scared, real scared. And now that he has been wobbled, he's even more.
Ali - Smokin Joe. But it backfired. Got in his head in the wrong way and fired him up. "You know, you're in here with the God tonight" - Ali's attempt to psyche out Frazier "If you are God, you're in the wrong place tonight" - Frazier's reply That round 15 Left was a thing of beauty. One of my favorite boxing moments. The things Ali did and said to frazier leading up to that fight were beyond ****ed up. Sweet revenge served up with a nice left hook.
