    Who's the best fighter in MENTAL GAMES?

    I know boxing is a physical sport but for this topic, please think of a fighter who's good at messing with his opponents head. It could be before a fight or during the actual fight. Hopkins is good at getting in your head when he frustrates you and adapts to whatever style you show him in the ring. Toney and Mayorga are good at smack talking intimidation before a fight. Just a sample.

    Right now

    James Toney and Bernard Hopkins are head and shoulder above anyone else when its comes to getting in people's heads.

    All Time

    Ali was the best EVER.

    Also prime Tyson, Duran and Liston got in people's head just in a different way. They got in people's heads by how scary they were not by words.

      Yeah. They were beasts to the eyes of many a fighter.

              I remember when Spinks got into Mayorga's head because Spinks was fast. Just a sample.

                I like B-Hop for intimidation but Tyson even more. He had so many people beat before they even stepped into the ring, the main thing with mental games is that if you can convince someone they can't beat you, they won't.

                    James Toney, Bernard Hopkins. Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barerra really go at it. Joel Casamayor, too. He's a ****.

                    Hey Niels, could you possibly make your obnoxious signature any larger? It's taking up half the page, guy.
