    Inspired by @Seamus' thread on relaxed operators.

    Who were the opposite? Who were the fiercest, rage fueled asuras who rampaged in the ring?

    Bonus points for wars.

    Hagler? I remember a quote about him saying: "he'd take out his entire life's struggles on whoever he was in the ring with" (or words to that effect).

    Benn is a very good shout. I think Micheal Gomez should be mentioned here, archetypical well schooled swarmer, very aggressive guy and style. I'd bet dollars for donuts anger fueled him.

    Foreman?????? Monzon and LaMotta were enraged as well, not to mention Emile Griffith.

    Mike Tyson
    Gerald McClellan

    Both guys so badly wanted to hurt their opponents and end them quickly in ferocious fashion.

    Larry Holmes rarely let personal animosity enter into his fighting. This fight shocked me. Watch after the kid rabbit punches him several times while holding.

    Vinny Paz
    Edwin Valero

    The red mist descended upon Froch against Bute. That was a performance of pure savagery

    Duran and Fenech are the ones that come to mind immediately.
