Who's the most relaxed fighter you've ever seen in the ring?

[Guest]

Prime Roy Jones Jr. Some of those fights in between rounds he's winking at the ring card girls and ****.

I'd go for that, actually. Hell, that guy was so relaxed he went to sleep for five minutes against Glen Johnson. That's laid back.

Manny Pacquiao is toooooo relaxed in his entrances. LOL!

I disagree... Manny Pacquiao always looks nervous in his ring entrances. Those nervous little smiles he makes don't make me thing he's relaxed at all.

Mind you when the first bell rings, he instantly changes and becomes ultra cool! And just goes about his business.

How about the great Lennox Lewis for "MR COOL" on his ring entrances???... - He always came to the ring with an expresionless face "ice cold", but had reggae music playing in the background!

As a MASSIVE Lennox Lewis fan, he took away MY nerves with his "Icy cool" walk to the ring.

hmm

The most relaxed is probably Toney with ease in my mind.

Other notables would be Floyd, Hopkins (in his prime), Winky, etc. But Floyd had problems vs Castillo which means Toney wins this argument running away. The dude is the epitomy of calm.

Those dead eyes he had for Rahman II were ****-scary.


Super_Lightweight, did you clock my RJJ reference above? Especially for you, buddy.

That was one of my favourite fights!... And one of Lennox Lewis's greatest fights, especially after all that LOUD trash talking the classless Rahman was saying before hand. Lennox Lewis walked out on the press conference before the fight because he'd heard enough!

But when it came to fight night... Rahman was looking EXTREMELY NERVOUS! And Lennox was looking EXTREMELY SERIOUS!!!

- And the fight couldn't have gone better for Lennox Lewis!... He nearly took Rahman's head off!!!!!!!

hmm

That's how I know you love me deep down.

Roy was pretty relaxed in some ways, because he was usually so much faster and 3 steps ahead of whoever he was fighting. But when I think of relaxed I think of someone sitting on the inside non-chalantly dipping and rolling and using movements that are fluid as opposed to QUICK bursts like what RJJ did.

I agree with you, actually. I once killed a spider (come on, you're allowed to kill spiders, right?) by throwing a stone at it. Hell, the thing was scaring the **** out of me. But I missed and just took one of its legs off.

I look down and this ****ing spider leg is going ten the dozen by itself for about a minute, no lie! The spider's blood, reflexes, whatever, are pumping so strong that it's moving of its own accord.

And er... (wtf am I talking about?) .. that's kind of how I see Roy Jones. Tics and impulses operating slightly outside the normal time frame. Only when he started to come into line with everyone's else speed (still faster, but in comparative line) did he come unstuck.

Mike McCallum, the "second version" of George Foreman, James Toney.

nah man. Pac is only nervous of Larry Merchant's interview. That's it. Ta only thing Pac needs practicing fo a fight is his English fo interview. Pac fears nobody. And you know Pac is pissed if he speaks Tagalog (Filipino language)afta ta fight.

Wait - how could I forget? - Matt Skelton. Not only is the guy not nervous, he LOVES being in the ring. He's got a real joi de vivre in beating the **** out of people.
