    I just re-watched Lewis vs Grant and he looked so damn nervous walking to the ring, asif he was going to an execution (and in hindsight he was).

    Bruno, contrary to his first fight, also looked awfuly scared against Tyson in their rematch.

    Jeff Lacy before calzaghe was very nervous - the way he was pacing up and down in the ring was another sign

    Amir Khan has looked edgy walking to the ring in his last 2 fights

    Enzo mac running to the ring v Haye

    Both had reason to be scared it would seem, walking into to a ring facing prime tyson must have a been like dancing with the devil for a softy like bruno.

    Enzo was sprinting into the ring, as haye himself said a champion takes his time.

    That wasnt nervousness, that was withdrawal.

    Enzo Maccarinelli would have given Carl Lewis a fair fight over 100m, judging by his sprint to the ring.

    He was exposed not only as a fighter that night, but as a character. To be fair, he had never headlined a bill before getting put in a big unification fight - spent all his career on undercards of Hatton, Calzaghe and Nelson!

    Gatti against Mayweather. He looked shell shocked before he ever stepped foot in the ring. There was an explosion during his ring walk that scared the **** out of him.

    There were plenty of explosions in the ring as well.

    I was cringing from the first bell. After this beating the respective boxing commissions ought to have retired him.

    I saw the face of hatton before mayweather and you could see he was going througth it. I think that fear is just a natural part of the bodys response to danger so i should imagine that all fighters feel it some just hide what is going on in their bodys better than others.

    "The plan to attack Lennox Lewis...has failed."


    I love that fight though.

    I love Don Turner's tirade at the end of the round.

    "Mike, you alright? Siddown, siddown. Mouthpiece. GIMMIE THE B...! GIMMIE THE!! GIMMIE THE! Mike...you gotta use yo' legs, man, you gotta use yo' LEGS! DO YOU HEAR WHAT I SAY, YOU GOTTA USE YO' LEEEGS, MAN!!"

    In round 2, Mike failed to use his legs.

    :rofl

    It's the look on his face when he asks Mike if he's okay. He looks like the ****ing janitor from The Shining.
