Who's The Master Of The Head Game?

[Xyei]

Current or all time?

Livingstone Bramble really got inside Ray Mancini's head when they fought (after the bout he had with Deuk Koo Kim). He was calling him a murder and all kinds of stuff. It really took Mancini out of his game and was effective as Mancini lost both of his fights with Bramble.

Currently I'd say Mayweather and B-Hop. Mayorga is effective most of the time.

B-Hop...no question!

Hopkins and Floyd are tops but they try and get different responses. Hopkins tries to intimidate his opponent whereas Floyd tries to make his opponents mad. If you have somebody so mad at you they cant wait to get at you, their technique and gameplan sometimes go out the window. With Hopkins he tries to get you to fear him, with that a fighter can be timid, have anxiety, and worry more about what Hopkins is going to do instead of employing their own gameplan.

If Mayorga was more skilled (and thus could back it up better, and the opponent would know it) he'd be the undisputed champ. As it stands, probably Mayweather, people have problems taking Hopkins seriously anymore - not that Mayweather's isnt juvenile but Mayweather's opponents know how high his skill level is backing up the bluff, and thus it affects their confidence more.

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?

hopkins is the master. Floyd is a close second for making Hatton rush into that check-hook.

When you have a Dad like Enzo Calzaghe I don't think that could ever play into it.

He has already said 'Hopkins is crap', and urged him to 'fight'


Enzo is the guy who talks smack. Joe is a quiet dude, but you know that there is no way he believes Hopkins can beat him. He said it to his face enough times.
