hmmm....let's see. lamotta -nearly beat a bookie to death in a robbery -raped a virgin who was dating his friend -nearly killed his girlfriend in a drunken rage, then woke up and thought he killed her. his brother had the master plan of dumping her in the river. all jake could talk about was his boxing career, not his almost-dead gf. there's more to lamotta than what you saw roberto de niro do, buddy.
thanks, buddy. if he raped a girl and nearly killed another while in anyway concious and it can be verifired, than i'd have to agree, buddy. beating a bookie gets a pass in my book, buddy. Edit: Even so, the point is I watch fights to see entertaining bouts fought by the best fighters out there. being a sociopath might even be a good thing as far as making good fights as long as their criminal behavior can be curtailed.
no prob and me likewise. obviously i never read that and was going off the 'raging bull' version and an interview with him i saw. so yeah its hard to defend the guy when he has admitted such things. And also as to your original post, even a tyson fan must admit that he probably has a lot of those traits.
