    All of those guys were animals in the ring. Marciano was friggin ruthless as was Joe Louis, in the first 1-3 rounds David Tua was a pitbull on roids, Max Baer killed a guy because he got so mad at him laughing at him e.c.t. And I will never forget Patterson's slightly dark take on 'revenge' in his one interview about boxing

    You've got to have the cash in the bank to back up the check that you write, y'know what I mean? Attitude is nothing without the necessary physical attributes that lend power.

    He may have hated himself for hating Johansson so much for that rematch, but that version of Patterson makes you wonder how he would be rated today if he could have found it in himself to summon up that same cold fire in the rest of his fights. He was way too nice a guy, I think.

    The question most of them seem to be pretty mean spirited and angry, he's talking about in and out the ring how would ketchel be known for being an ******* to people outside of the ring when he;s in it fighting, was Max Baer and ******* out of the ring? what about Tua? that's what the question is not in the ring

    My coach calls it putting that extra "**** you" into your shots. I think it helps if you can genuinely enjoy hurting people, not just winning. It's a little sick but it's true :/

    I agree.
    If attitude is everything, then a 14 year old girl could punch as hard as George Foreman, if she has the right attitude.

    I would say All confidence before I would say All attitude.

    My 14 year old son knocked me down twice just sparring, and I am an X fighter...But my son has what I call double power, he has KO power in both hands, ive never had that ( not to mention even though hes only just turned 14, hes bigger than I am....And your right when he shows attitiude he puts some real power behind his shots.
