    Option B would be ****ed up because you never know what they're gonna do. They might literally go in and do the best they can to kill you, not just beat you. For all you know they're out to specifically cause long term damage, and if they have the ability to go along with that mentality, that's very frightening. At least with C you know the guy doesn't care, he's just trying to win, not hurt just for the sake of it, it's all business.

    But in terms of in the ring, I'd actually be most worried about losing to Fighter A...the other two, if you fight well then you can win wheras A could get out of jail free...

    Only a certain type of bully would intimidate me and it would have to be someone like Tyson. Knowing a prime Tyson's skills and what he had accomplished, staring me down would be enough.

    There are ways to cope with A and B, whether one is physically able to execute these ways or not would be the question. The way Ken Norton and Jimmy Young were able to keep Ali from getting under their skin is an example for the antidote to"A". The Buster Douglas and Evander Holyfield examples of "go to hell Mike" refusal to submit to a bully are classic examples of how to deal with "B", as was Leonard's tactics of mocking Duran in the "No mas" fight as well. The "C" situation is another matter entirely. The guy who's stone cold with no emotions is the one who would freak me out. The examples of Monzon and Louis remind me of some old time sci-fi movie monsters or aliens who aren't taken in by anything you try on them, that just have a goal, or a mission to complete that may not necessarily be apparent to you at the time. so i'd find "C" to be the most imtimidating, like dealing with some reptilian creature of something.
