http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MimTSN-AV0g From about 4:07 of this clip. As soon as McCallum got in the ring, he looked deadly. Underrated staredown. Curry looked rather concerned whereas McCallum was the picture of cool, calm, and focused.
Tyson-McNeely was kinda memorable...especially from the view behind McNeely as he's rocking back and forth and you can see Tyson just standing there following him with his eyes.

I keep laughing my ass off when I think about the weigh in between James Toney and Dominic Guinn when Guinn blew a kiss at Toney at JT just stuck him with a right hand.:laughing::::atu: I wish that video was still around.
You guys beat me to the punch with both Foreman-Frazier I, & Foreman-Lyle. In the case of the latter, it was Lyle who got right up into Foreman's face, & perhaps surprised him a little, too. I think right there, Lyle grabbed himself an early edge. There is a great moment in that fight at the end of round one, where Foreman is on the stool, having been rocked hard in the opening stanza, & he leans forward & gnashes his gumshield. I always thought he was conveying, "This could be tougher than I anticipated," with that searching look across the ring.
That's quite harsh. The man had the noblest of reasons for looking up, as I'm sure you're well aware of.
Relax, man. Wasn't a critique on him as a person or as a fighter...just saying, staring down a ceiling isn't that dramatic.
De La Hoya broke the "stare up" pattern when he fought Vargas. <object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LvGhaGoof8Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LvGhaGoof8Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>
