    Salvador Sanchez always stood out to me in this regard. As stoic as they come, all business, expression never altered.

      It was very easy for him to remain gracious. He has never lost in the ring before. I would say Muhammad Ali. Every time he lost, he was always a humbled and gracious loser. He never blamed anyone but himself for his defeats.

          I wasn’t talking about being gracious. IIRC the question was about “nerves of steel”, which to me means not losing focus when things aren’t going 100% according to plan.

          The fact that Floyd never lost further illustrates my point because he definitely had some moments in fights where a less focused fighter could have very easily lost their cool and been defeated. (Castillo 1, Corley, Judah, Mosley, Chino)

            I apologize for that. I Misunderstood you but now I understand what are you saying. Yes, Money May definitely had tunnel vision in the ring. He was always zoned in.

              It’s cool bro. In the original poster’s post he asked 2 different questions.

              You were right as well!
