    When have you seen the raw, dark side of fighters?

    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 Rid**** Bowe after the fight and he says 'bring it on, I'm guna knock you out'-

    (21 seconds in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNp12msEWqU

    Rid**** Bowe clapping Larry Donald in the press conference-



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