ATG Sociopaths

Duran definitely wasn't a sociopath. The guy wore his heart on his sleeve and let all his emotions out.....which was mostly anger when leading up to fights.

You just have to look at that picture of him holding Esteban Dejeus on his death bed to see that he was a compassionate human being.

 

Robinson seems to fit the bill...

 

Mike Tyson isn't a sociopath. He's been to plenty of psychiatrists and the diagnosis is bipolar.

 

Back to my nominee, Panchito Bojado.

Panchito was charming and good in interviews. By accounts I've heard, he thought he was a big star and tended to act like a jerk. He never really trained well, though, and fell off. Then he resurfaced with that bizarre incident where cops chased him and he tried to plow through the SD/Tijuana border over pretty minor stuff. These things fall in line pretty well with him being a sociopath. Edit: he's out of jail and starting to train again.

 

Definitely

 

1. Don King
2. Robinson

- Both definitely seemed to be.

Looked into the Sheppard thing, you should all read this article, fascinating stuff.

 

I did, and it's amazing.

 

Rap sheets aren't proof that someone is a sociopath, but they are a nice place to start.

There have been all time great everythings who were sociopaths.

 

Roberto Duran was vicious in the ring, nowhere else.

Anti-social personality is a better diagnosis for many criminals in jail in general.

 

OK

Duran and Tyson are almost certainly not sociopaths.

They simply don’t fit the profile on any level.

Don King would be a pretty good call.
