Didn't Collins get Eubank shitting his pants when he announced that he was under the advice of a hypnotist? Eubank thought Collins would become some sort of Zombie Superman because of the hypnotist.

Battling Siki.

Fought his way out of speakeasies to avoid paying his tab.
Used to walk his pet tiger down the Champs Elysses while wearing a top hat and tuxedo.(he would shoot off his revolver to get people's attention).
Crazy enough to fight Mike McTigue in Dublin on St.Patrick's Day.

Never heard of that one.Knowing what we now know of Eubank,it's entirely plausible.The guy was madder than a hatter.

Good read.I'm not buying Eubank's story,in order to kill Collins,you'd have to shoot the bastard.He was one tough apple.He took a prime McCallum the distance and came on strong in the later rounds.

Carlos Monzon. Classy right up until the monster came out.

Oliver McCall of course.

Oscar Bonavena had some issues.

Dog killer Gerald McClellan. Karma's a bitch, eh, Gerald?

doh doh and double doh marble

eh krazy i honestly dont feel Gerald deserved what he got

Terry McGovern spent his post boxing career in mental institutions and died at the age of 38 from pneumonia.That's certified crazy.

I guess there was a reason they called him "Terrible."

Yeah, IIRC there were genetic issues in that family. I think two of his four brothers had similar issues.

I know that two of his brothers also boxed professionaly.Perhaps they suffered from Pugilistic Dementia?
