    Can you name a few? I believe Jake LaMotta was a real hot head, as was Duran and Monzon.

    I'll have to add Joe Frazier.

    I remember him jumping Ali during a Cosell interview. They wrestled around on the floor.
    It may have been staged, but I don't think so.

    By all accounts he went into the Manila fight in a rage.

    I think that it was only Ali who brought out that side of Frazier.

    Sonny Liston was known for having quite a short fuse at times.

    Duran deserves a mention.


    look at his reaction when SRL lifted his hands at the end of a round in the first fight (or was it the end?I cant remember which)

    Pick your Irish battler:

    John L.
    Ike Weir (always got into street scraps)
    Tom Sharkey(caused riots [see vs. Maher and other events])
    Terry McGovern (remember the pre-fight trick Young Corbett used to beat him?)
    Billy Conn

    So you're dismissing domestic violence? He didn't marry Ali.
