Boxing is a sport that goes hand in hand with violence. Beyond all of the façade that fighter's necessarily sport, these are normally guys who came from the street and have a raw mentality.
So I ask- when have you seen the veil slip? When you get to see glimpses of that street mentality?
I remember in the run-up to Hatton Mayweather, where Floyd was whispering in his ear 'move and I'll break your jaw, move and I'll break your jaw'. I remember thinking 'damn', beyond the smiling faces this guy is kinda raw.

Also, when Lennox Lewis confronts Riddick Bowe after the fight and he says 'bring it on, I'm guna knock you out'-

So what do you say guys- do you have any examples where you have clearly seen the fight and the violence in a boxer?
