    Looking for examples of the above guys.

    I thought Michael Watson managed this brilliantly in the Benn fight.

    I had no idea who was gonna win that one.

    Other prime examples?

    Hector Camacho - seemed to keep it together well even with some renowned Punchers looking to take his head off - Very confident in his footwork no Doubt

    Soul Mamby.
    Emanuel Augustus
    Juan Manuel Marquez

    I'm Sure more will spring to mind...

    Louis was pretty unflappable. I cant recall him ever really losing it even in dire situations.
