Monzons Ring Demeanor/Sociopathy

Peter Maher too, the man was obsessive with training.

 

Psychology is mostly junk science (not all of it is useless), particularly the brain science part. These are the folks who believe that reducing the number of serotonin receptors in the brain is an acceptable tradeoff for shutting down the inter-neurons that regulate the receptors, thus permanently altering the brain structure of persons who suffer from depression, a range of conditions (including anxiety) sociogenetic in character in the first place. These are the folks who removed or mutilated the frontal lobes of human beings to calm behavior and still use electoconvulsive shock therapy to treat a variety of sociogenetic illnesses. Psychopathy is not sociopathy, in any case, so you shifted the terms of your original point. You will learn about sociopathy in a quality social science class, not in a psychology course. Psychopathy is an imaginary category invented in the earliest days of neuroscience - Lombroso's "criminal man" and Freud's uncontrolled "id." Like race and intelligence, it is a category without any empirical substance. You would do just as well to feel the bumps on your friend's noggin to see what makes him tick that to buy into this junk. I'm sorry you are being exposed to this stuff without a critical frame of mind.

 

ive had that said about me because of the way i obsess with every punch of mine being technically correct

im sure if you took all the greats alot of them if not most of them would have/ of had OCD

 

Yeah, I can see how Monzon's more actute form of sociopathic behavior would manifest itself in the cool, calm, ultra-assured aura that he projected inside the ring during his fights. That said, I think a lot of fighters might possess some form of sociopathy, or mental behavior that differs from the norm- and that, in part, is what moivates them to be so successful inside the ring.
