most crazy boxer

I'll bring up a name probably nobody knows...Ezekiel 'King Kong' Dhlamini.

A South African heavyweight from the 1950's. (I think. I'll check at home to see if I'm correct about the date.)

Dhlamini wasn't particularly good, and only had about six pro fights, but he was a pretty strange cat.
He lost to a guy called Simon Mthimkulu, and insisted that he be bound in chains as a symbol of his weakness. I have a pic at home...try and upload it. And these weren't little chains either...they were quite big.

He was later found dead, lying face-first in a dam.
Here is more info on him:

Hurricane Jackson
Edwin Valero
Frankie Crawford

The Windmill White mention was great. Brought back good memories.

 

Johnny tapia no question

 

Bat Nelson probably fights the bill here methinks

 

Correction FITS the bill should I say - although he'd probably be crazy enough to fight everyone mentioned so far on the same day

 

Seems perfectly reasonable tbh.:think

 

Merqui Sosa & Kabary Salem .
Sosa 1ce spat on n opponent after knocking him out and tried 2 hit d referee 4 stopping d fight vs Jones .
Salem was a very dirty fighter and once butted d referee , don't know if intentionally or not .

 

Oh, almost forgot about Chris Eubank.

He fell for a circus trick -- guy claims he'd been hypnotized so he wouldn't feel punches and Eubanks practically has a breakdown over it. What a maroon.

 

I guess the guy who takes the cake..crazy in a homicidal sort of way is James Butler.

 

Ike Weir. No doubt about it. Crazy stuff inside the ring and crazy stuff outside of it. Here are just a few of the highlights of his colorful life:

"During bouts he would perform back flips, and then dance a jig or a shuffle to the delight of the crowd and consternation of his opponent. He was the first fighter on record to utilize the exaggerated bolo punch, winding his fists in a windmill fashion a century before Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard made it popular. He would jerk his trick shoulder out of its socket to disconcert opponents and elicit sympathy from the audience. Then just as fast pop it back in joint and quickly tear into his bewildered foe."--The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"



"The press, which had always given liberal amounts of space to cover his matches, were now finding themselves covering his many out-of-ring exploits and altercations as well. It began with a near street brawl with little Johnny Murphy, who was claiming that the Spider was ducking him. The two plucky Irishmen began exchanging verbal barbs and a passing patrolman was forced to separate the two and send them on their way. A short time later Weir was arrested for “carelessly driving over a child.” --The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"



"Weir didn’t help matters by engaging in a nasty street fight with a carriage driver later that year over a fair he refused to pay. He then got into a barroom brawl with Billy Kivlin, a wrestler of some renown, who by all accounts got the better of the encounter. He body slammed Weir and battered him until “John L. Sullivan”, Weir’s loyal mastiff dog, intervened and badly bit Kivlin’s leg" --The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"



"He had overheard two men insult a black woman who was passing by and promptly pounced on them, beating the men senseless in the process. He was arrested and jailed by the police, but was quickly released when a friend posted bail. A couple weeks later the Spider was fined $5 plus costs by a judge, to whom Ike remarked that he should be given a medal rather than a fine for his valiant deed." --The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"


"He was arrested at a Boston ballpark for using “profane language” and needed to be bailed-out of jail by one of his backers. Then to make matters worse he accidentally shot himself in the hand" --The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"



Ike Weir… is at home training for a fight he is the most eccentric joker on the face of the earth…any one who knows the great Yankee boxer can easily tell when he is in the neighborhood… for every 300 yards you will meet some one with a black eye or a split lip. If Isaac O’Neal (sic) Spider Weir ever cuts himself loose like that over this way, his friends will be able to send all that is left of him back on a postage stamp in less than a month. – Australian Correspondent, Police News, 1891



"1892 would prove to be a disastrous year for “The Belfast Spider” on a personal level. He was stabbed that summer in Boston and later got into a brawl at the offices of the New York Illustrated News with a man who suggested that he’d thrown the Murphy fight in San Francisco" --The Saga of Ike Weir, The "Belfast Spider"


“One of the marvels of the pugilistic world. He was not only one of the best but I believe the most eccentric fighter that ever breathed the breath of life.”--Jim Corbett

THATS what was worrying the eubank team

 

anyways. another sugestion.
charley 'devil' green
Charley Green was known to fight fans as the "Devil." His boxing career brought him to world contention, but his inner demons, caused his life to hit rock bottom.
Green's life is somewhat surrounded in mystery. The Ring Record Book lists his birth year as 1942. However, the New York State Department of Corrections lists it as 1948. Other sources have Green born in 1939. According to an article in the June 1968 issue of The Ring magazine, Green was born on September 1, 1942 in New Orleans.
Green began an amateur boxing career at eleven years old and was coached by his father. While in high school, Green competed in 200 amateur bouts, losing only two. After attending Jackson State College, where he was a star end on the school's football team, Green enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
Green continued boxing in the Marines and became the base champion. In 1958, Green was medically discharged for being, " unfit for duty due to convulsions, disorientation, loss of consciousness, confusion, blackouts, left frontal headaches and epilepsy grand malady."
Moving to New York City, Green entered the 1964 New York Golden Gloves and won the light-heavyweight sub-novice championship. Green said he turned professional on May 21, 1966. He soon became known for his punching power. Green earned a world top-10 ranking in the light-heavyweight division with upsets knockouts over title contenders Frank DePaula and Ray Anderson.
Green also worked at DOM, a Greenwich Village disco as a bouncer and in 1967 became the club's manager. In 1968, Green was managed by Gil Clancy and Howard Albert, and was trained by Harold Weston, Sr. When Green knocked down former world light-heavyweight champion Jose Torres, then lost by a controversial 2nd round knockout, Green became one of the best known boxers in the world.
His "fame" brought out his "Devil" and he started hanging out with the wrong crowd and abusing drugs. His days as a contender ended following his 10th round knockout to former 2-time heavyweight champion of the world, Floyd Patterson.
Green continued to box on and off for another 5 years. He earned money as a sparring partner for heavyweight contender Jean-Pierre Coopman. But, mostly, Green was nothing more then a stepping stone for upcoming prospects. Green was knocked out in 2 rounds by future heavyweight king Larry Holmes.
Life wasn't sweet for the "Devil." He started hanging around Harlem cocaine dens. In September 1983, Green appeared on an air shaft of the 15th floor of a law office in downtown Manhattan. He was shirtless and snorting cocaine out of a plastic bag, and threatening to jump. It took at least a dozen police and firefighters to subdue him in a wild brawl.
Green was then arrested and charged in a triple-murder and two counts of attempted murder. Green was convicted of murdering Phyllis Rodgers, Craig Carr, and Elliot Williams in a Harlem apartment which was described as a Cocaine Den.
According to one of the victims who survived, she said that Green appeared at the door with a gun and demanded to know where the money and cocaine where. She said, " Green put down a free-basing pipe and announced, You are all going to die tonight." Then, she said, Green grabbed Craig and shot him. Then grabbed Elliot and shot him.
Green, who says he is innocent, was found guilty and sentenced to 45 years-to-life for the murders. He is currently in the maximum security prison in Shawangunk, New York.
Green reportedly is being treated for cancer, but claims he is not. He still maintains that he is innocent of the murder
