    You always hear about guys that are demons in the guy but fall apart on the big stage. Who are some of the best gym fighters?

    My great uncle was like this, he was an absolute beast in sparring etc. (or so i've heard from many people), tough as nails but ended up with a pro record of 1-3, because he got too nervous and went too **** in front of people

    dominated sparring sessions against Morales,Guzman,Antillon,Barrera and DelaHoya while showing mad skills but looks crude in the ring.
