    Who's The Master Of The Head Game?

    They say most fights are won and lost before fight night! Right now Hopkins has Calzaghe sayin he's gonna sit down and go for a KO! In my opinion Hopkins has Calz right where he wants him! He has Calz acting outta character which will lead to him fighting the same way, his comments is proof! So with that said, who from TODAYS fighters should be considered "The Master" of the head game?

      You really think Calzaghe is gonna publish his actual strategy in an interview?

      Hopkins' so-called "mind games" have no effect on Joe, a guy with more fighting experience than Hopkins', whatsoever. Dream on.

            Hop and/or Mayweather...but I'm going with Hop.

            Hop is classic man! He had Tito boiling!! I believe that he is putting the same "head" heat on Joe C.

            Mayweather has done it more as of late.... Got into Gatti's head, got into Hatton's head, maybe even Judah's (although he was on media silence leading up to the fight) and I believe he will do the same in the future.

            The biggest thing with getting into one's head is to make them MAD, FRUSTRATED, to the point where can't concentrate come fite night. Then, the one who is focused and relaxed, have a better "chance" of defeating their opponent due to a lack of focus becauz they are mad...ya diiiggg?

            HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY.

              so what was your point.

              Calzaghe never used to talk full stop. That's why he couldn't get big fights.

                Ricardo Mayorga was pretty damn good at it, until he fought Oscar.
