Who were the best mind gamers in history?

[Sceptic]

Ali was a good choice, "you can't hurt me George"

[Capaedia]

Hopkins didn't play much mind games inside the ring until recently

So?

[IronDanHamza]

Joe Louis.

[CarlosG815]

it's ok to disagree, but you have to say why

so what did he do ?

Well I can't recap Mike Tyson's career for you.

[The Surgeon]

Ali for the number one spot hands down


Ricardo Mayorga played some crazy mind games too letting guys tag him clean then roaring back ect

[IronDanHamza]

could you elaborate? im not familiar with joe's mind games, beyone his cold piercing stare.

SRL, ali, roy jones, duran. interesting to note benny leonard, i was not aware he did those things. mike tyson. i think floyd mayweather is pretty good at mind games.

by the way, anyone know who mikes fighting, when he snarls in the video from 0:34-0:38? cheers.

You said it, that cold piercing, emotionless stare.

The look of no remorse.

Would certainly frighten me.

Also having such a great poker face meant u never knew if he was hurt or not

[New England]

Also having such a great poker face meant u never knew if he was hurt or not

or where and when he was going to punch

[The Surgeon]

or where and when he was going to punch

Exactly. The only thing that was a given was that when he did it was going to ****ing Hurt!

[Tiozzo]

muhammad ali

freddie roach

mike tyson

david haye (more of a con man than anything else. he pulls one over on the fans. the headless klitschko brothers T shirt was classic.)

aaron pryor had some great in ring antics / mind games as well
if he got dropped he'd bounce back up instead of taking a seven or 8 count.
he pointed // stared guys down
and the way he fought would make guys fold (though that had a lot more to do with work rate and stamina than mind games in many cases.
just a defiant dude.


and sonny liston had eyes like a shark
scary dude

good pick

definitely one of the best

he just refused to show any weakness whatsoever
