BoxingScene,
I really need help on this paper, because I've tried looking at my local library for books on the subject but the library friggen sucks! So I'm driving down into two other towns to rent books at their libraries, but I need more help with what books I can use as sources/help.
So I'm asking for help on the subjects (I already know what subjects) but if anyone here knows of any books in specific that would be relative to my paper, it would really help a lot.
Subjects on anything relative to natural aggression, harsh upbringing causing mental toughness, anything really. I just bought a Jack Dempsey book that was saying something among the lines of "a boxer isn't born overnight." Stuff like that is great. ANY HELP would be friggin awesome.
Thanks for any help! I would give points but I don;'t have very many.
PS: Any reliable sources on the internet, such a book that IS on the internet will do just fine - if you know of any.

Reading about the James Bulger case on Crime Library made me want to throw up.
One of the most abusive, purely EVIL crimes that I've ever seen. Search for pics of this innocent toddler and then read what those MFers did to him.

Lots of boxers have sad upbringings, here's a few examples.
Read about the story of Matthew Franklin (Saad Muhammad).

I believe Aaron Pryor was sexually abused by a priest.
Here's a good article about Kassim Ouma.

Another one about Edison Miranda.

Sonny Liston was abused as a child by his father. So was Muhammad Ali, his father was an abusive drunk.
Read about Johnny Tapia's upbringing.
Dig up the Antisocial Personality Disorder. Look up for the definitions in the DSM-IV (the book psychs use to diagnose). There you should find a kind of checklist. Use it.
Use the James Bulger case, a little boy who was tortured and killed by other children. This case, along with a pic of innocent James, should be enough. If you want to add even more, use the Kuklinski (spelling may be wrong) case. He was a hitman, called "The Iceman". You can even find more than one documentary about him.
Hit me up in the next 15-20 mins if you need anything else since I'm going to sleep soon.

Are we talking school paper or university paper?
School paper.. but it's a final, so it's worth a ton of points. Also this paper (if written and done well enough) will get me into a higher English class next year.
Thanks for the help with the anti-social thing.

You should do a search on Antisocial Personality Disorder regarding "natural aggression".
