nigel benn had serious issues.

 

No mention of Oliver McCall?

 

victor ortiz gives me the impression he's not all there.

 

Bhop, Toney and Mayweather? :rofl

 

Tommy Morrison seems to be bat**** crazy.

I love his claims of "HIV is just a piece of dead skin", "Don King conspired against me because he didn't want a white man winning the HW title (why yes Don King conspired for you to get your ass kicked by Michael Bentt), and my favorite of all, "I teleported my way out of trouble".

 

macho time!!!

 

I just noticed Green on your list, did not remember if anyone else had him, but definitely he belongs. He was definitely crazy, my favorite is time he was driving with suspended license in Brooklyn, while watching a small portable television that he had placed on dashboard. Cops stopped him after he ran traffic light, his license was suspended already 51 times.

1) James "Harlem Hammer" Butler
2) Mike Ayala
3) Edwin Valero
4) Ike Ibeabuchi
5) Johnny Tapia
6) Battling Siki
7) Mike Tyson
8) Mitch Blood Green
9) Mike Bounty Hunter
10) Perhaps Andrew Golota, but I'm sure I'm forgetting a few good candidates.

James Butler is a no questions asked no-brainer #1 for this one - he broke a dude's jaw after he tried to give him a congratulatory hug after a fight, then actually killed Max Kellerman's brother (who was trying to be a good guy and give a homeless down on his luck fighter a place to stay) with a HAMMER, his nickname. TS's list is ****.

Shout out needs to go to Carlos Monzon as well, who probably defenestrated multiple people in his lifetime. If you don't know what that word means, look it up - it's one of the most awesome words in the English language.

Battling Siki is probably a bit too old school for most here, but check his wiki. Dude was flat out insane. I'm sure there are many others I don't know as I'm not much of a historian. I do remember that there's at least one IBHOFer whose career ended because he committed murder-suicide on his entire family, but hell if I remember his name. Back in the 30's or 40's sometime.

Other than being a crackhead, how was he crazy? Mike Hunter was just as big of a crackhead and a hell of a lot more crazy.

 

Charles "Kid" McCoy

 

I assume you mean Qawi, and he unquestionably was less crazy than the guy he beat to earn his first title shot, James Scott. Keeping in mind that Scott spent half of his career fighting out of Rahway prison, and as far as I know, he's still there 30+ years later.
