Who were the best mind gamers in history?

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

that's what I was saying

intimidation/reputation factors, but he didn't really play mind games once the bell rang

Jeff LAcy is king!!!

Did he really need to, though? lol

It's not really the point of the thread though.

Another vote for ALI he was truly the master at that stuff.

[I just read The Fight by Norman Mailer, I learned a lot about Ali. He was crazy smart about people. A good read, I highly recommend.]

Mike Tyson was one of the greatest psychological scientists when in the ring in many ways.

His boxing IQ inside the ring was off the charts. Psychologically he was a genius in the sport when inside the ring.

In his prime of course.

So much of that was down to kevin rooney, when he fought, tyson and rooney were almost like one man. Biggest mistake mike ever made was splitting from rooney, nobody understood him or knew how to get the best out of him like rooney did.
