    Delahoya once said that Jose Luis Lopez was the fighter he would least like to face.

    Foreman said that before his first fight with Joe Frazier he was scared of Joe Frazier. And if Joe Frazier had watched down during the stare down he could have seen Foreman's knees shake.

    Bowe throwing his belt in the thrash to avoid a fight with Lennox.

    Well alot of that was to make Wladimir angry. He commented in the post fight on the "I won't shake his hand thing" and he said that it made him mad and Haye replied "That was kinda the point".

    That is pure bollox. D'Amato had Lennox thrown out of the gym after 2 days because he was punching Tyson all over the ring when they were both teenagers.

    That was not in the confidence building script for poor little Mikey. Hence later he paid Lennox step aside money and fought Holy instead.

    What Lewis said was " Tyson was scary, but he didn't frighten me. "

    Mayweather saying " my health comes first " was in relation to money being less important than health when fighting a fighter he suspected of using PED's.

    Some may say that being as Paci-OW is now willing to have those same tests for the Rios fight, Mayweather could well have been right in his suspicions.

    Also when he said " People call me a coward, but hey I'm a rich coward " was his dig at all the little Pacturds in the boxing writers fraternity.

    I think it is funny that he wastes more cash in one night lighting his cronies cigars than any of those writer scum earn in a month.

    We have the same thing in Britain, lowlife jealous journalists whinging about footballers earning 200k per week, when all they can get is a few measly quid fiddling their expenses.

    Fvck em.

    Oh and by the way. Fighters dont need to SAY anything to show they are scared, just count the amount of times Bruno crossed himself on the way to the ring in the 2nd Tyson fight.

    Now that, was scared.
