    They say never fight angry because it plays against you but from my experience, that notion doesnt apply to everybody.. Ive seen many fighters, inluding myself, fight alot better when angry and full of passion..

    Which fighters perform better heated??

    I might say JMM, though it depends on your perspective there. I don't know how "angry" he gets after being dropped in a fight, but he certainly tends to fight better after that happens.

    Fernando Vargas always seemed to box on the verge of an emotional meltdown

    Nigel Benn
    Iran Barkley
    Stanley Ketchel

    Lennox fought better when he rediscovered his mean streak.

    Disagree. Quote from Tyson, something along the lines of "Everyone thinks its the angry fighter thats the fighter they should be scared of but thats not true. Its the fighter who enjoys what he does, who smiles in the ring, that fighters have to fear. I strive for that.

    Mayorga. When he calms down is usually when he starts getting his ass kicked. Hes most dangerous in the early parts when he's running off anger
