    As much as I like Martinez I was thinking the same thing. Martinez not having any girls, not married and no kids is as strange/odd as Cotto step son:D

    Nice call on Del Boy.

    And I still stick with Lateef Kayode, who doesn't seem to have both oars in the water.

    Always thought chop chop was strange. Looks like he's a transvestite after hours, yet has 15 kids... Lol

    Anges Adjaho seems like a real weirdo

    Richard Grant was a legitimate psychopath. Thank god he's locked up.

    Tommy Morrison lives in a fantasy world.

    Cornelius Bundrage comes off as delusional and paranoid in his interviews, but it could be just part of pumping himself up. In either case his self-obsession and delusion believe in his own abilities has kind of helped his career.

    Sometimes ego hurts a boxer causing them to meltdown when brought back to earth (Naz) or it leads them to get overconfident and lose (Naz/Khan) but in Bundrage's case its helped because he can brush off any loss with a loopy excuse before plowing ahead, still confident and convinced he's unbeatable.

    The guy has been stopped in 19 seconds by Powell, violently thrashed by Joel Julio, and totally outclassed by a natural 130 pounder in Steve Forbes but he plowed forward and now he's a champ with a couple title defenses to his name.

    Self-Correction: I meant James Butler, not Richard Grant, who had his jaw broken by Butler after their fight. Butler murdered Max Kellerman's brother for those who don't know.

    Bruce Seldon was a headcase too imho. Always showed up in top condition for a heavyweight but then completely folded, flopping on the deck against Bowe, Tyson, and Tye Fields. He also quit against Gerald Nobles in a fight he'd been dominating early on.

    Golota. This doesn't need explaining.

    Bruce Curry spent time in an asylum. Same for Eddie Machen and Zora Folley too if I'm not mistaken.

    Apparently Harold Johnson was struggling badly with mental illness near the end of his career.

    JCC Jr is strange as hell. Sleeps until 6pm... wears pink underwear... boxes in his living room... doesn't get any stranger than that.

    I'm surprised nobody has said Victor Ortiz yet. Some of his interviews are really awkward/hilarious.
