    LL when he fought Tyson...

    it took him a couple of rounds to relax, and then by the 4th he was gaining full confidence. But before it started and for the first couple of rounds he shat it!

    Good call. I remember that. Bruno was huge, much larger and more cut than Tyson, and looked scared as hell.

    That piece of ****, I get so pissed of when I think of him and Haye.

    Biggest crooks in boxing. That night honest to god they made king, arum & ****** look like the 3 angels from heaven. Assholes, he did look like he's was shitting it though.

    Molesy in his PAC and may fight looked shook up too, but he's a G so it's kl

    Michael Spinks. He sometimes had that nervous look, and more so against Tyson.

    Oliver McCall, well besides the crying breakdown against Lennox, would hold back tears on his way to the ring.

    Oliver McCall was crying against Lewis because he was coming off crack cocaine in a very public way. I remember reading a book, and I can't remember which one, that said they had to pull him out of a crack house just days (week maybe) before the fight.

    +1 to Bruno in the Tyson rematch...I think he gave the sign of the cross about 40 times on the way to the ring, if I recall.

    I thought Tarver looked nervous before the Kayode fight, but of course he did well. At the time If I had been close to a betting window I would have bet on Kayode by KO because I thought Tarver was shitting himself that he didn't train hard...guess I was wrong, but he did look nervous to me, anyway.

    Spinks, Bruno, Golota, and Stewart against Tyson. If not mistaken, I think Stewart's wife(or mother) left before the fight because she was scared for Stewart. Bruce Seldon also looked scared as hell.

    Can't blame any fighter for being scared or nervous against prime Tyson.

    There's nothing wrong with being scared and a little nervous. As long as you know how to harness it it can be to your advantage.

    Devon looked nervous going into the ring to fight Bradley.
    Mosley looks nervous in some of his fights as well.

    Mayweather whenever he's confronted by anyone. He looked very nervous when Zhen stepped into the ring
