craziest fighter ever

[ibragimovfan]

im not talking about crazy as in "he has crazy good skills" im talking crazy like out of his fucking mind. i think number one has got to be tyson due to his obvious violent nature and of course the ear biting nature. and then andrew golota. i mean he is a headcase. he threw away two victories over riddick bowe apparently just cuz he felt like hitting the guy in the nuts a bunch of times. who knows?!? and then theres gotta be a nod given out to oliver mccall simply based on that breakdown in the ring he had against lewis.

[huki]

Crazy inside the ring: Andrew Golota
Crazy outside of the ring: Ike Ibeabuchi

[Cookie]

There's been a lot of crazy guys. Clifford Etienne is surely a recent example. The guy began his boxing career in prison and it surely ended back in prison when he went on an insane GTA style crime spree back in 2005. He's serving 150 years. :patsch

Tyson is probably the craziest guy I can think of in terms of the sport itself. Biting someone's ear off, trying to break a guy's arm, that whole "I want to eat his children" rant, attacking Lewis at press conference and biting his god damn leg, and so on. Total crackpot.

[theunderdog]

biting off an opponents ear is, by far, the craziest thing to happen in a boxing ring

[omega dega Doom]

Tyson,Ibeabuchi,Johnny Tapia,and Jeff fenech all come to mind for me?:patsch

[oblate]

biting off an opponents ear is, by far, the craziest thing to happen in a boxing ring
i don't know he did it while losing. golota did his crazy stuff which included vampire impersonation (biting a guy on the neck), headbutts, and crazy balls attack while he was winning.

[bb251]

monzon
ibeabuchi
tapia

[smokey]

Yeah. Johny Tapia=crazy. The guy is self destruction defined. He would get on the rock and just disapear for weeks. Rumors are that he would be on the streets like a homeless person, high out of his mind, with his wife having no idea where he was. How he was ever able to get it together for a fight career is beyond me.

Puking on the judges is the coolest thing ever, though.

[Scar]

Golota, and no one comes close.

[Carlos Primera]

mayorga is a nut in the ring, i mean who gives tito free shots on their chin ? his antics out of it, to puts him on the same boat as some of the guys mentiones as well.

[chliJs]

i don't know he did it while losing. golota did his crazy stuff which included vampire impersonation (biting a guy on the neck), headbutts, and crazy balls attack while he was winning.

hahahha, yea. that's the point. no one comes closes to golota in terms of irrationality.

[nervousxtian]

Pure crazy? As of late?

Ike takes the cake.

Close would be Clifford Ettiene and Emmanuel Augustus.

[DamonD]

I'd said Ike.
At least Golota comes to visit reality every now and again. Ike couldn't find it with a 10-foot bargepole.

[lamont zero]

sven ottke is the craziest boxer i have ever seen. that dude is a sicko

[sugar_ray]

They are all crazy but especially crazy is margarito for thinking he can beat the punisher

[boxfan99]

James Butler comes to mind.

[Thread Stealer]

Mitch Green once held up a gas station, but stayed there after robbing the place and pumped people's gas, and took their money.

[In_FlaMeS]

Scott Harrison outside the ring

[In_FlaMeS]

Oh and Herbie Hide inside & outside!

[Bigcat]

Oliverrrrrrrrrr McCallllllllllllllllllll..

Atomic lunatic.......

[Proud Warrior]

I dont know if anyone can remember but we had a fighter in the UK when i was young called Kirkland Laing,he beat the great Roberto Duran i think and he was one of the craziest fighters i have seen in the ring,he never used to hold his gloves up and defend himself,a bit like Naz,a complete showman,Sadly out of the ring i think he fell on really hard times and lost the plot a little.

[Gabriel R.]

sven ottke is the craziest boxer i have ever seen. that dude is a sicko

You are kidding...

Golota is my favorite here. He must have some profound mental issues.

[Motor City Sam]

It has to be Golota, especially when it comes to incidents in the ring. McCall had that weird breakdown, but at least he could say he wasn't crazy, just a crackhead.

[Irish Steel]

Golata...... WHo throws away a potential victory??

[brisback]

tony ayala jr

[Titan1]

Mitch Green once held up a gas station, but stayed there after robbing the place and pumped people's gas, and took their money.

Yeah, unfortunately, Mitch is kinda up there.I was also thinking Aaron Pryor for some reason.

[unitas]

golota for sure. number one p4p in the nuthouse.

but a guy like reggie strickland is pretty crazy himself.......just look at his record.

[brooklyn1550]

James Butler
Ike Ibeabuchi
Tony Ayala, Jr.

[Axe]

Golota, and no one comes close.

Hurts to admit it for me, but quoted for truth. :verysad

[kadoiron]

James butler has bipolar disorder, he sucker punched Richard Grant and broke his jaw after their fight when they were about to shake hands because he was pissed, and he killed Sam Kellerman. I think there should be no doubt as to who is the craziest. Golota is fucked up but he is nowhere near Butler...

[emanuel_augustus]

No doubt about it.

hahaha that is fucking nuts

:rofl :rofl :rofl

[Mistadobalina]

james butler definitely

vR4CVt87T0E


then he went on to murder kellreman's brother :(

i can't believe some people. from what i heard, sam kellerman was a good friend to the guy.

[sues2nd]

Golota, and no one comes close.

Ever heard Ike Ibeabuchi's story?

Trust me, noone comes close....not even Mike.

[Motor City Sam]

I guess the answer depends on whether you are counting only incidents during fights or those outside the ring as well. For things that happened during fights I'd say Golota, but if you are counting outside the ring incidents, the Foul Pole isn't even close to the top ten.

[Fab2333]

biting off an opponents ear is, by far, the craziest thing to happen in a boxing ring word, tyson is a wild boy. I remember watchin that fight with my father and his friends and my boys, and when he bit Holyfield ear, evry1 mouth just dropped. And we all looked at each other like WTF :rofl:rofl. We couldnt believe wat we just seen lol
Tyson takes the cake for this one lol:yep

[chliJs]

Ever heard Ike Ibeabuchi's story?

Trust me, noone comes close....not even Mike.

sure, ibeabuchi was an insane person outside of the ring, but did he do anything special inside the ropes, too? only saw a couple of fights of him, so i may have missed something.

[VX.Nefarious]

Morales

[Brauer]

Edwin Valero

[AnthonyW]

Mayweather's sucker punch >>>>>>>>>>>>> Tyson/Holyfield ear bite.

[bballchump11]

man post some videos

edit: oops I thought it said fights

[Fan88]

My man Valero takes the cake:happy.


ATG wifebeater Monzon a close second.


Honorable mention: The President

[KidPerat]

James Butler, durrr...

[Atritionist]

Edwin Valero was the craziest of the crazys. Beating his mom, Beating and killing his wife, and finally killing himself.

[MAIN]

mayorga is a nut in the ring, i mean who gives tito free shots on their chin ? his antics out of it, to puts him on the same boat as some of the guys mentiones as well.

what i was about to put

[KidPerat]

and finally killing himself.

...or did he?

[AnthonyW]

...or did he?

Yes.

[Aztlan]

Oliver McCall, when he cried during a fight.

[jeffjoiner]

Riddick Bowe deserves some mention for joining the Marines then going AWOL and abducting his own wife and kids. It was after his boxing career was over, but still crazy.

[HwSaviour]

Golota is a crazy dude. Look at this :lol: It was around 10 years ago.

"Boxer Andrew Golota was charged with impersonating a police officer during a traffic stop and was freed on bail.

Golota, who gained notoriety for quitting in the second round of an October 2000 fight against Mike Tyson, was arrested Monday by Illinois State Police after allegedly showing an officer a badge and claiming he was a New Jersey police officer during a traffic stop.

Will County prosecutors said Golota, 34, received the honorary badge from the police department in Hudson County, N.J., for performing charity work.

An Illinois state trooper, who pulled Golota over for allegedly driving past a stop sign, checked with New Jersey police to determine if the badge was legitimate. Golota, who was driving a black Mercedes Benz, admitted he was not a police officer when the trooper came back to question him, according to authorities.

The boxer spent the night in the Will County jail and appeared before Associate Judge Kathleen Kallan on Tuesday on a misdemeanor charge of attempted false personation of police, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine on conviction.

The judge set his bail at $5,000 and scheduled a March 5 court date. Golota posted a $500 bond."

:patsch :rofl

[smoovemann]

bubba smith

[janeschicken]

James Butler comes to mind.

/end thread.

[Brickhaus]

Either James "The Harlem Hammer" Butler or Battling Siki.

Butler: Broke and opponent's jaw with a sucker punch after the fight was over and his opponent when to give him a hug; killed Sam Kellerman; was a confirmed bipolar schizophrenic

Siki: Owned a pet lion with which he used to walk through the streets of New York and Paris; Would just randomly start shooting guns in the air for no reason; lost a number of fights by DQ; crazy alcoholic who was basically drunk at all times and completely unpredictable.

Valero and Ibeabuchi are also good shout outs. All four guys I'm pretty sure are/were certifiably insane, although Valero and Siki were never to my knowledge diagnosed with anything.

[I1T2BOX]

Post some vids or something...

[Cafe]

Viacheslav Datsik - he's MMA though but hella crazy.

[TerryESB]

Duke Morrison is the craziest hands down. He can teleport to another place of his choice you know?

[cippi]

i dunno it seems edwin valero was just wild. the guy was 26-0 with 25kos n he jst throws it away. could u imagine if he were still alive. valero v rios would be just a wild fight. it would a great fight.

[BoneCollecter]

valero was the first that came to my mind

[vipers]

Ike Ibeabuchi
James Butler
Andre Golota (dudes been arrested a lot lol even for a a riot in a hotel lmao)
Edwin Valero

[jeffjoiner]

Either James "The Harlem Hammer" Butler or Battling Siki.

Wow. I'm definitely going to read up on these guys.

[EDDIE FUTCH]

Golota for in-ring craziness.

If he (decides to) continues to fight, I have a feeling Victor Ortiz will be a future contender.

[motownsiu]

edwin valero

Edwin Valero

:goodTHIS GUY TOPS THE NUTBAR PILE

[Antigoon]

Probably not half as crazy as some of the guys mentioned, but I always found Chris Eubank a character. Walking around with a 1900's outfit complete with monocle, walking stick and a bowler hat...then jumping in his Peterbilt truck...
Not exactly a paranoid schizophrenic but still...

[SomeGuy101]

James Butler.

[chatty]

biting off an opponents ear is, by far, the craziest thing to happen in a boxing ring

it also inspires more craziness, Ive seen about five lads at amateur shows try and bite someones ear off and Chisora tried it at pro level, could be a coupkle more, ill rack my brains

[superman1692]

Eubank is more weird, than crazy.

[chatty]

Actually Chisora deserves a mention, he's not right in the head either, not as bad as some mentioned already but has potential in this field:

biting Paul Butler

[orriray59]

Golota simply threw away two potential victories against Riddick Bowe for no particular reason.

[stevo78]

Butlers ring assault is the most evil thing I've ever seen in a ring. I guess that makes him fairly crazy!

[Son of Gaul]

im not talking about crazy as in "he has crazy good skills" im talking crazy like out of his fucking mind. i think number one has got to be tyson due to his obvious violent nature and of course the ear biting nature. and then andrew golota. i mean he is a headcase. he threw away two victories over riddick bowe apparently just cuz he felt like hitting the guy in the nuts a bunch of times. who knows?!? and then theres gotta be a nod given out to oliver mccall simply based on that breakdown in the ring he had against lewis.

Lamotta
Duran(more ghetto than crazy though)

[chitownfightfan]

Both Ike and Bowe make Tyson look sane.........MOF....if Ike were to be left alone at Tyson's home, Mike would come back to a coup full of headless pigeons and Ike would be sitting on Mike's sofa, covered in blood, rubbing his belly as if he's just been to smorgasbord.:lol::lol:

[vipers]

Look up shit about Jake Lamotta that dudes is a few fries short of a happy meal

[Boom1989]

Is the story with Mitch Green made up? If it isn't, this is the funniest shit ever.

[Royal-T-Bag]

Battling Siki.....read up on him, close thread.

[Masamune]

The late Trevor Berbick was one crazy dude -

the incident that lead up to holmes drop kicking him from the roof of a parked car was started when berbick interrupted a press conference and decided to tell everyone a made up story that Holmes' happily married wife was actually a street hooker ,

Holmes too could be volatile - remember when he went for gerry cooney while cooney was sat with howard cosell , damn near ruffled howards toupe'

As I mentioned in a previous post, there's a big difference between ghetto and crazy.

[john garfield]

Hands down, the biggest nut case ta ever put on gloves was Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson. Had ta be an AREA 52 reject.

A proper street brawler!!

What did he do?

[Vysotsky]

Golota, and no one comes close.

I'd say Ketchel was far more unstable outside the ring and inside the ring alot of what Golota did was standard parts of the game back them. Both guys are Polish, not sure what conclusions to draw from that if any. :think

"The first was to fight fire with fire, coming in lower himself and meeting Papke’s head with his own, betting on his own head being the harder of the two"

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Monzon needs a mention too.

[john garfield]

What did he do?

For openers, M, he came to the gym wearing a horse' bridle 'n never said more than, "Ya wanna shoot rats?"...'n that was at his sanest.

[Vysotsky]

Duran too - Someone told a story on here about seeing a interview with Duran on Panamanian TV when he still fought there. Roberto told a story of a guy trying to start shit with him on the street. Roberto said he knocked him out then took out his Machete (yes he was walking the streets with a Machete for some reason) and carved the word Duran into his forearm so he would know who to come see if he wanted retribution.
