Best consistent performances by a then drug/alcohol addicted boxer

Possible druggies/crackheads/Alkeys/Sniff heads:-

Jack Dempsey
- Reason: Looked like one

Calzaghe
- Reason: Sniffs coke

Hatton

Mike Tyson
- Got caught smoking cannibis before some fight.

James Toney
- Reason: Chats too much **** for a sober man

Valero
- Reason: Coke head

Juan Urango
- Reason: Colombian

Sonny Liston
- Reason: Died drugged up

 

I don't know exactly what Monzon was addicted to, but Monzon has plenty of major issues during his career.

 

tony tucker although no world beater was decent went twelve with pre prison tyson while smoking crack weeks leading up to that fight

 

i dont believe sonny was a junkie:-(

 

Wow thats pretty crazy stuff. Didn't know about that.

 

Lopez/Ayala was the 1979 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year. Most who have seen it regard it as a "must see" fight. Ayala's hand speed and "cutie-pie" technique versus Little Red's "come forward and kill ya" style made for one hell of a battle.

 

:rofl:rofl Good one

 

edwin valero surely, stood drinkin in the streets and loved the marchin powder.. a real shame wud have loved to see how that career cuda played out

 

I don't think it could have been any other way for him. I find it unsuprising a fighter 27-0 with 27 ko's was the way he was on the outside. It's very very rare for a in ring menace like Valero to be calm outside of it.

But for the sake of what you're getting at, yea, it would've been nice to see what would've happened with him in the boxing world.

 

Dicky Eklund was consistent in that he never got knocked out. Like they say, crack keeps you on your toes.

 

going on my list! thanks boo:good

 

Michael Nunn was known for his love of coke but was one hell of a boxer.

 

if PEDS count then its Pac

:deal
