    And by the way.......which is it.......is manny scared or over confident? Because I see some of the same people that were saying just yesterday that Manny was over confident now saying he is scared!

    LOL

    yeah,it did catch my attention, Hatton certainly won the staredown, Pac looked like he was trying to cover his ribs already.

    Pacquiao was hard in his staredown against DLH too, probably something to worry about for Pacfans.

    I wouldn't look too much into it.

    Sometimes the whole staredown thing means nothing.

    Tyson, someone who loved to intimidate, wasn't even looking at Bruno during the pre-fight instruction when Bruno was trying to stare him down. Tyson would look at Bruno then look away. Then the opening bell rings and who's the one on the canvas within 20 seconds of the fight? Not Tyson.

    All this means nothing really. Weigh-ins and staredowns never win fights unless you're Muhammad Ali. Manny looked like he was going to faint from fear together with Freddy Roach before fighting DLH and you saw what happened during the fight. All this means nothing.

    that's true. Stare downs dont really mean ****. It's just a way of marinating the fight and getting the fans pumped up.. Who gives a **** about hard looks.. Ive seen many fighters with crazy ass staredowns getting KTFO in the first round.

    The greatest P4P boxer on earth, Manny Pacquiao and the greatest P4P Mixed Martial Artist on earth, Fedor Emelianenko, don't do staredown's. :cool:

    pacman just looked relaxed to me, no point in hyping yourself up for a stare down

    Staredowns are gay. "Oh you look away, you are afraid", that **** feels gay and uncomfortable, looking at another man in the eyes for 1 minute.

    Baldomir vs Judah, staredown, then the fight :D.

    Another perfect example is Mayweather/Hatton weigh-in. It looked there that Hatton had already won and by brutal KO.
