I would venture to say that Johnny Tapia might fit that description.

 

Edwin Valero was a mess.

 

Beat me to it!

 

Tyson Fury?

 

Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury.

 

Oliver McCall
Mike Tyson

 

Jermain Taylor won a belt late in his career while bat**** crazy.

 

Carlos Monzon was the first that came to mind.

 

Battling Siki, Kid McCoy, Bob Fitzsimmons and of course, John L.

 

Wouldn’t you have to be a little crazy to be a boxer in the first place?

 

I haven’t seen anything about him being formally diagnosed. Mike Tyson was and had to take Zoloft.

 

Was that drug related? I wonder what happened to him

 

On August 26, 2014, Taylor was taken into police custody and charged with two felonies after officers said he shot his cousin during an altercation in his Little Rock, Arkansas, home.[50] Taylor was out on bond for his October 4, 2014, bout versus Sam Soliman. On January 19, 2015, Taylor was arrested without incident and a gun was recovered. He was jailed on five felony counts of aggravated assault, three felony counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, and a misdemeanor count of drug possession after he was found to have a small bag of marijuana. Taylor was remanded to the custody of the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility in Little Rock in lieu of a $27,000 bond.[51]

On May 20, 2016, Taylor was given a suspended sentence of 19 years to be served concurrently, amounting to a six-year suspended sentence for three cases. He was also sentenced to probation and will have to serve 120 hours of community service, pay a $2,000 fine plus court costs, and will have to submit to regular drug screens.[52

Possible CTE or just dumb gun related stuff that people do in the Deep South. He has a boring Instagram account that was last updated in 2018.

 

I just checked this. Fury claims to have been diagnosed as bipolar by "psychiatrists" (plural), but I can't find anything about a psych med. Someone who's diagnosed bipolar will typically be on meds. I'm skeptical about him.
