    I'm sure Spinks was more scared of Iron Mike though.

    Check out any Hopkins fight. He is too chicken**** to exchange, so he clinches like a woman. This helps him win fights.

    Nigel Benn v Gerald McClennan. I read an interview with Benn where he said he was (rightly) scared by McClennan's power, and that that fear gave him the extra adrenaline to come back and win.

    Lewis was a good example when he feared someone he did the buisseness and i think calzaghe beating lacy is another
