    List some of the best pre-fight stare-downs of all-time?

    One that jumps to mind is the intense stare-down before Golota-Lewis, which unfortunately, was not a sign of things to come.

    But so intense was the stare-down, that even the commentators made mention of it.

    What are some others? And did the fight live up to the stare-down?

    I'd guess theres lots of things that scare me that wouldn't scare Hagler...

    I also loved the staredown for Tito vs Vargas where Vargas comes up in Tito's face and trys to give him that tough guy staredown of his (which looks ridculous) and Tito just stares right back at him like "I know you don't think that **** is scaring me"

    As much as I like Jones, I have to admit that I believe it intimidated him too. I really don't think Jones knew what to think when Tarver said that.
