    I don´t talk about the street. But about domestic violence. Look at how many boxers are known to have beaten their wifes. I think in an argument a boxer may slip a hand, like we in Bavaria say, easier than your average Joe.

    I don't agree that a boxer is going to be any more inclined than anyone else to beat his wife.

    I heard Jake LaMotta once had a beer. On a Sunday.

    It's actually been proven they're more likely to. Ultra high levels of testosterone from them being athletes among other things make them among the most aggressive men out there.

    Classic example: Ike Ibeabuchi holding a stripper hostage, nearly going beserk in a cafe about his championship that he never won, and leaving a child disabled after a car crash.

    I never heard about that one personally but it definitely does not surprise me.

    No, I meant Botha, but yes he did do it against McBride as well.

    Proven by who?

    As it happens, I live in Spain where there is a problem with domestic violence.
    I very much doubt that it's because all the Spanish men are bulging with testosterone.
    I would suggest that it is more likely due to ignorance and control.
