    What are some examples of fighters who stayed composed, showed restraint, and weren’t at all rattled with the trash talking and mind game tactics from the opponents. Basically didn’t let the mind games get to them mentally and took care of business in the ring.

    A Lot of Fighters COPE w/Shit Talk By Talking Shit Themselves, Which Makes it That Much MORE Impressive Manny Pacquiao Whupped As Much Ass as He Did w/Out EVER Going That Route…

    Guys Like Broner or Whomever Else Would SAY What They Said and Manny Would Simply Respond w/That Child-Like GRIN of His…

    Manny Stayed Composed as Agapito Sanchez FOULED His Way to a DQ Loss as Well…

    Always got the feeling Lennox didn't get too phased by it. Let the other guy talk and do the job of promoting.

    Yeah was gonna say Pacquiao too, it's hard to get under the skin of somebody who can't keep a straight face during the staredown.

    I thought Andre Ward played an absolute blinder in the build-up to the Froch fight. Didn't let Carl get any sense of control, you could tell he was in his head straight away.

    Fury vs Wilder was easily the worst build-up beatdown i ever saw. Beyonce's ego got humpty-dumptied.

    I think Fury got under Wlad's skin unlike when David Haye tried to. Haye seemed bothered that Wlad wasn't.
