why do so many HW bottle it or have mental issues

They get punched in the head for a living. Give them some slack.

that entrance was embarassing

I think its because they are from poor backgrounds.....and because they didnt try at school. De la hoya is an anomaly and needs further research.

Heavyweight = 1 punch KO potential.

Any one punch can take you out which makes them extra nervous, especially when you're fighting someone like Wladimir and Haye like Thompson and Barrett were.

Good question. Does seem to be a disproportionate amount of heavy's w/ issues than the lighter guys.

I remember Bruce Curry (Donald's brother) having mental health problems. Charlie "Devil" Green, a lightheavyweight from the 1970's had a breakdown and killed some people if I remember right. Middleweight Randy Turpin, who fought Ray Robinson, killed himself, as did lightheavyweight Freddie Mills.

Tony Ayala is not right.

As for heavyweights, don't forget Trevor Berbick.
