    Part of what makes a great puncher is intimidation. If you can make your opponent fear you, you can overwhelm them.

    Here's another quote from Tyson: "Thonny Lithton wath the moth' intimidating boxer of all time. No one wath' intimidating as Lithton, not even mythelf".

    Yes, disproportional fear can not only impair a fighters normal executions but it can also impair his normal resistance to a punch.

    Overriding fear is its own slippery slope.

    I think Michael Spinks was THE example of how much a fighter can be beaten even before first bell.

    I will thay, if Thonny himselfth spoke thusthly, I’m not stho sthure he would’ve carried the sthame intimidation that he did enjoy back in his day. Then again, Thonny didn’t talk stho much, did he? :D
