You guys who talk about mind games

This is all perception. Most likely myth Foreman himself admits that Ali made him want to kill and Foreman lost all of his composure inside the ring, throwing wild punches that weren't doing much damage and ended up tiring himself out in the heat. Liston thought Ali was just some crazy kid he would KO in a few rounds. He didn't train and quit during the fight when it turned out that the fight wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. Mayorga vs Forrest. Hatton convinced himself that he couldn't be hurt by a punch and that he could walk through Floyd's power easily. Hatton came out like a wild bull, didn't use any head movement or defense in the fight and he ended up getting knocked out. I'm sure Hatton could've went the distance if he had kept his composure in the ring. Frazier came in more motivated than ever to shut Ali up, trained like he had never trained before and set up a pace that Ali couldn't match. The racist talk of Haugen and Minter only motivated Chavez and Hagler more and the results were devastating. There are obviously other factors to why these fights turned out like they did for example Foreman and Liston both thinking they were invincible, Hatton being deducted a point and Haugen & Minter simply not being in the same class as their opponents.

did someone say mime games? http://www.mimethegap.com/RK%20-%20Trad.%20Mime%20Sitting%20MIRROR.jpg

I do think mind games play a factor in sport. Mainly sports management. That said a grown man should not be intimated or fucked up by what another says, it's fucking unlikely. It's a sport at the end of the day. Won and lost in the ring. Mind games are important, they make press conferences interesting. In the case of JC and Hops it sells what most of us know will be a shocker of a fight.

I know a few instances when the mind games actually worked: Foreman vs Ali Liston vs Ali Mayorga vs Forrest Hatton vs Mayweather Sometimes the mind games backfired: Frazier vs Ali I Mayorga vs Spinks (even insulting Cory's dead mother couldn't get him to trade with Mayorga) JCC vs Haugen Hagler vs Minter The jury is still out there for Calzaghe vs Hopkins & Mayweather vs Cotto. This is all perception. Most likely myth

Ouch, you went pretty hard there K to the Jizzle, but you keep it real so I can always give respect to that. I think I have the flu.

NO kidding... SOme of these people act like they are in the fighters heads morning till night.. ..Floyd fans are the worst.. They act like they know the guy.. and that he keeps them updated on every aspect of his life.. 24/7 :rolleyes: Well at least they worry about his money for him. I'm sure Floyd would do the same for them. :lol1:

are all complete fucking morons. Tell me, if you're in the bottom fifth of human intelligence, what business do you have speculating about who is winning mind games with whom? You don't even know these people at all. DLT inspired this, but he isn't the first. NO kidding...
