    U guys no when a fighter as a lot of talent, or is up big time in a fight and always seems to blow or during their career, they seem to dig themselves a hole and dive right into it??

    U know the guys like
    -Tyson
    -Golota
    -Judah
    -McCall (mental breakdown agaisnt lewis)

    etc, what the **** is wrong in the head of those guys?? any ideas?

    For Judah, it's a lack of adjustment ability, and frustration.

    For McCall, Golota, and Tyson....it's somewhere closer to being a headcase or just plain crazy.

    Luan Quitniqi. The guy most have mental issues. I cant believe he lost to Thompson, especially like that and with that pitiful of an effort.

    Golota (undisputed champion of the infight melt-down)
    McCall (his performance in the LL rematch is enought to secure the no.2 spot)
    Judah
    Tyson

    its there inability to be tough when there talent, which they always relied on to get by just isnt quite enough

    Carlos Navarro, I woldn't say necessarily a self destructive fighter although at times he has. He just never manages to put it all together. I always thought He had the skills to be a major player. All he turned out to be was a journey man.
