Fighters with questionable mentality issues
Collapse

Ike Ibeabuchi. He could've been a really serious heavy but his mental issues got the better of him.
James Butler is now in prison, fortunately. He is clinically insane.
Golota actually "got a grip" with age and maturity, it would seem. Unfortunately he kept "losing it" during important fights in his prime.
Mike Tyson definitely had mental issues in his youth.
Fury has anxiety problems but he does not lose it in the ring. Staying active actually helps him ward them off, it would appear.
That Broner guy should be institutionalized IMHO.
Kovalov could use AA and "anger managment" classes.
Deontay Wilder is extremely labile and seems emotionally unstable at times. Like he can explode at any given moment.
Off the top of my head. Many fighters are crazy; punching/getting punched in the face for a living could do this to you. It's kinda like that thing Mike Tyson was talking about: when he got in the ring, he wasn't Mike Tyson the dude, but Iron Mike the angry killer who's going to eat your babies and so forth. He admits that this persona would sometimes take him over in private life as well.Comment

Monzón was a killer in the ring. Never had any issues inside of it, outside, that is another story.Comment
