There would be no way to tell. It wouldn't be like some ego inflated boxer or MMAer you'd be able to tell on sight with an entourage, but just some average-joe. You guys are a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing.
Is there any good way to tell if somebody is on that level, or is it like stepping into a bear trap. I want to know what cues YOU guys give off before a fight. This may be an interesting case study.

Picture what you consider a fighter to look like. Now picture the opposite: someone who looks lanky and awkward, with a baby face, with a quiet personality, in a suit, wearing glasses. Thats me. I'm the guy that people don't think twice about pushing out of the way to get onto the tube, or showing me the finger when cutting across me in traffic, or chatting up my girlfriend right in front of me (that used to happen a lot).
This has been the situation for pretty much my whole adult life, and that is why training is such a crucial, irreplacable part of my fabric. I always say to people, if you want to know how I feel about who I am, look at my face when I hit the focus mitts. Sometimes there hasn't been a focus mitt, and someone, somewhere has pushed too hard. I didn't like what I saw, I don't have any nice fight stories. That is why training has to be there in my life, because I don't think I would like who I am without it.
