Reading vendetos thread conjured unfortunate incidents in my mind about boxers and the wild things they have done outaide the ring. To be more precise larry holmes fly kicking trevor berbic.... Chisora haye.... Tyson... In general tyson. What other wild things have boxers done?
If someone could upload when bowe smacked nunn i think it was at the press conference that would be good very sneeky punches...
Terry Marsh is reported to have been the guy that shot Frank Warren.Quote:

Ike ibebuchi. I read he was really scary kidnapped his ex girfriends kid and crashed the car with the kid in it! And he pulled a knife to his promoters throat because the promoter asked where he was staying!
This was and still is a great loss to the HW division.Quote:

Once/if he is paroled he will be deported back to Nigeria and will find it difficult to be allowed back into the USA.Quote:

I don't think he'll box again if he does it won't be big.
Even though I said Spaddy because I'm a Pittsburgh cat myself, I have to say that Johnny Tapia, Mike Tyson, Arturo. Gatti, Ricardo Mayorga take the cake. Hector Camacho and tommy Morrison get honorable mention
Kelly Pavlik, Oscar, Ricky Hatton too
James Kirkland
Herbie hyde is trouble
Most wild boxers are in prison or dead. The good ones survive. B Hop got stabbed in the back. Tyson mugged and pick pockets, Pavlik drinks in excess, Broner flushes money down toilets, Floyd hits women...

Mayorga was pretty crazy too. There was a fighter a pretty unknown one called nicknamed the superstar or something.. Went on a killing spree just battering everyone to death. When you think about it compared to nornal boxers there isnt that much wild ones..
Tony "el Torito" Ayala he ruined his own very promising career! A good boxer who was also an action fighter but had serious problems that stopped his maturation to adulthood. Shame!! Ray.
That's who I was going to say , what a mad bastard he is!Quote:

Carlos Monzon and just think how highly he is regarded and what he is known for.
Then do some research of his life outside the ring and see if anything makes sense to you.
When your nickname is "Mi Vida Loca" (My crazy life) a moniker used in street gangs you know shits wild that is Johnny Tapia.
Others: Ike Ibeabuchi, Tony Ayala Jr and his bro Mike Ayala also Panchito Bojado.
Andrew Golota impersonating a police officer was a good one.
Oliver McCall having to be tazed twice after telling police "I'm the former heavyweight champion of the world !" and fleeing the scene when questioned about being on drugs.
Jack Johnson constantly flaunting fucking white women and dying in a car crash.
Oscar Bonavena was shot to death for having affair with a man's wife.
The original bad boy sonny liston... Was in jail when he found boxing and was let out as long as he boxed.. Then died under strange circumstances.
@CutMeMick thats such a good point because untill not long ago i had no clue about monzons crazy life!
Monzon gets my vote. Chucking your wife off a balcony should get you the win in a competition like this. Nobody did anything else with that much style.
Tony Ayala Jr
Paul Spadafora
Edwin Valero
Carlos Monzon
Also I know he's not a boxer, but I have to mention MMA fighter Lee Murray, who was responsibile for the biggest hiest I think in England's history.
It's also alleged that he raped 4 women on separate occasions.Quote:

On the domestic scene I've heard ex pro Michael Gomez was crazy lol
Also Sheffields Richard Towers. He served 6 and a half years for his part of a gang that kidnapped a man held him at gun point and tortured him for 3 days using a steam iron, a hammer and a stun gun. They demanded £150,000 in ransom money!!
Sounds like a lovely bloke,shit fighter glass jaw.Quote:
