Question

i doubt myself because for some reason when i doubt myself i win , but when im to cocky,i lose

Answer 2

It's pretty common to hear someone say that true courage is being scared and doing it anyway. Most people that start fights don't know how to fight correctly anyway. Technique always beats size.

It's very common to doubt yourself, but anyone can build courage no matter who they are or what they say. If all else fails, remember a nice Rocky quote. "It aint about how hard you can hit, It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done."

Answer 3

do you gotta fight someone and are scared? do what ya gotta do if that means standing up for yourself and losing a fight it's better than running away and losing respect for yourself.

Answer 4

everyone is apprehensive before a fight, even the top professionals, but it's how they handle and channel it that separates them.

Answer 5

Some fighters do have doubts but others are strong mentally and don't.  Naseem Hamed for example when he was young and hungry appeared completely  fearless. Confidence in your ability to win is a big factor determining how scared you will feel.
