    As i recall George Foreman certainly had an er...Aggresive/Moody attitude when bombing his way towards the title.

    Of Course John L Sullivan had his moments when issuing challenges.

    The Chris Cormier front of? The version I heard was basically what you said except no punches were thrown and Tyson basically said 'WTF you going to do'
