    You'd look pissed off too if you were getting punched in the face repeatedly.

    Jeff Fenech and Johnny Tapia deserve a mention.

    Paul Fuji was just a very angry man who just walked forward throwing clubbing haymakers.

    I get the impression that Walter McGowan was a bit of a wappy, endearingly mad little c*nt despite his lovely style. Seemed to struggle not to brawl or avoid feisty exchanges. Typical Scot in that sense but it cost him not being a big puncher and bleeding like a stuck pig. You've got to love a bloke (and question his good sense and self-restraint) not a puncher who jumps up a full classic division and thinks to himself, ''You know what, I'll test the water a bit careful like. Somebody give Jose Medel a ring and tell him he's dead.''

    Bob Foster possibly fits into the latter category.

    I am not sure whether that is a good shout or not.

    Of course. As well as Smith The Bonecrusher (underrated fighter) that I would include in the "calm rage" category. However in those two categories a lot of boxers can be placed and not only those I named. I just wanted to make it clear that boxers' rage doesn't always have a visible expression.

    I wasn't being sarcastic...everything I've read about Sullivan stated he was mean as hell and fought like a raging bull.
    Certainly was "fueled by rage" like the thread title. He had a huge chip on this shoulder...I don't know the reason for it
    but it sure carried over into the ring.

    oh yes, the Rondon fight. He hated Rondon and the WBC.
