    By this, I don't mean "rough customers" or those "brought up the hard way," I mean the real degenerates, like Monzon or Ray Robinson or Lamotta (what is it with middleweights, I wonder?). Maybe I'm just judgy, but I cannot be a fan of a fighter who conducts themselves like those and those like them do. I might be able to acknowledge the greatness of this fighter (as I have for all three here) but I would never call myself a fan of any of them, and can't imagine ever doing it. I can't separate the skills from the outside-the-ring behavior.

    Does anyone else bother themselves with this?

    Seriously though, Carlos Monzon is the first to come to mind. And James(?) Butler, who killed Max Kellerman's brother.

    Monzon, Lamotta and Ike Ibeabuci spring to mind.

    Dale Crow and James Butler are so bad they get their own category

    Fan of Lamotta's, Monzon's and Ike's fighting style, not them

    Never want to watch a Crow or Butler fight

    For me, how a fighter conducts himself outside the ring is inconsequential to how I perceive them in the ring, generally (Butler is an exception due to that sucker punch).

    Enlighten me on Crow...…..the name seems familiar as the guy who was Greg Page's last opponent, which of course ended horribly. Don't know anything else about him though.

    Tony Ayala Jr., without a doubt. Exciting prospect with an entertaining style but a disgusting piece of crap through and through.

    He wasn't arsed about the whole Crow situation. He also raped and killed an old lady
    Delaney was another ****. He pummeled a guy half of his size whilst working as a bouncer
