| Many fighters throughout the history of the sport have been able to turn off the testosterone driven savagery that made them successful in the ring.Unfortunately there have been those few who lived on the edge outside of the ring as well.
Fighters who come to mind are:Ketchel,Siki,Liston,Tyson,Ayala Jr..and most recently Edwin Valero. | |

| Tyson and Valero were/are mentally ill
Tyson-that guy is just plain crazy
Valero-Dougie Fisher of ringtv stated in his mailbag about a month ago that a person in Venezuela that he trusts had told him that Valero had been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Ayala Jr-what a waste.

If I'm not mistaken, Monzon threw his wife out of a window. | |

| What about Ike Ibeabuchi? That guy might be the champ right now. |

Ike is the biggest disappointment so far for me. He just pissed away all that talent. I still think he could have been champ for a very long time. |

He would have been better than watching boring ass Lennox Lewis also. I was so happy when he retired. BTW too bad Ike never got the chance to KO Lewis. |
