Top 5 horrible human boxers of all time

I'm thinking:

1. Ayala
2. Baldomir
3. Butler
4. Lamotta
5. Monzon

 

Davey Hilton and Joel Scott, though the latter might be too insignificant to qualify

 

Verdejo and Valero must make the list.

 

McClellan

 

Baldomir enrages me every time I google to remind myself what he did

 

Lamotta is not even close to being top 5. His scumbaggerybis grossly overrated cause of raging bull

 

Cliff etienne is a certified shitbag

 

James butler

 

Corrales threw his wife down a flight of stairs then left town to get away from the "distraction."

Apparently the cause of this was a fake phone call claiming his wife was cheating.

 

Tank Davis.

Eats chicken in his restroom. Don't eat where you shit.

Kissing Adrian Broner.

Has Lip Fillers.

Grabs his chick by her throat and drags her out of a basketball game.

Smashes his car into some pregnant ladie's car, prego lady looks him dead in his eye and begs for help, Tank leaves.

First fighter to initiate a catch weight AND rehydration clause because "Garcia walks around at 180lbs" while Tank walks around at 200lbs.

Looks like Bookman from Good Times.

 

Naseem Hamed actually went to jail for breaking a guy up in a car smash, he quipped that "at least nobody died"... .... Liked to talk about cutting throats/green lambskin gloves and mixed it in with sime fairly explicit Islamic shit which went way out of hand before the Barrera fight. He then got fat, really fat, and became a parody of a former athlete. Since the year 2000 he's right up there.

 

Dale Crowe deserves a mention.

I also recall Esteban DeJesus shooting someone in the head during a traffic dispute.

 

In DeJesus' defense, he was high as all fuck on angel dust.

Not excusing him, or claiming he's not a POS, but his brain was totally altered.

 

I totally forgot about Felix Pendejo when I made the thread. Yeah he's gotta be top 3. Maybe even 1-2.

 

Basically anyone who did a rape or murder 1 needs to be on the list with exceptions like DeJesus.

Next up are the wife-beater/manslaughter sorts. Monzon. Carlos Pedomir. Dokes. Spadafora.


Then there's the guys who ruined lives or just made other people's lives miserable with their stupid bullshit behaviour, vehicular incidents,streetfighting etc. Jurgen Braehmer. Hamed. Ralf Rocchigianni. Paul Weir. Lou Del Valle. Camacho. Lots of boxers out there making stupid decisions.

Then there's my favourite category, the Luis Restos or the Antonio Margarito or the Karbary Salem sorts who simply outright cheated or bent the rules badly to hurt or kill somebody directly or indirectly who or derailed a guys career with their cheating fouling ways.

 

Spaddy still at this shit....

Welcome

 

Good call on spaddy, utter garbage of a man. And while im a big fan of his, and he's nowhere near the top 5, tyson is/was a pos

 

While he seemed to have turned into a nice guy, Stevenson has a really ugly past

 

Wilder

 

The movie version of him is a saint compared to how Jake describes himself in his book.

He says he lost his virginity by raping a girl in a car. He raped a friend’s girlfriend who was a virgin. He beat his girlfriend in drunken rage and thought he killed her. His brother suggested dumping her body in a lake.

He nearly beat a bookie to death too.

 

Idi Amin

 

We have a winner

 

I recall an article about Salem being indicted if his daughter murder. So it seems he's much more than a ''rule breaker''

 

Forgot about Spaddy. Yeah, he's a shit bag.

 

I would assume we're excusing Jermain Taylor, Bowe, and Meldrick Taylor. Three guys who seemed like very good people when they were young, yet seemed to change as the result of brain damage.

 

Seems to be. Can't speak for everybody, but i guess they took the horrible human part in an innate sociopathic way. The others have a reputation for violent or stupid acts seemingly with impulsiveness which may or may not have anything to do with boxing.

 

Absolutely. But then consideration has to be made of Valero who absolutely underwent a change of character following an auto incident when he banged his head very badly and failed routine scans thereafter. In this case, enablers like Doug Fischer etc need to be looked at. They greased the wheels of the Valero bandwagon.

 

Seems to me that Lamotta enjoyed playing the bad guy. Doubt that most of these stories are true, or st the very least, they are vastl exaggerated

 

Tried to make amends at least.....

 

Apparently it was Justin Juuko who made that call sometime before their fight in 2000. I think he meant it only as a distraction to Chico but nearly wound up costing Chico’s spouse her life.


How about Rubin Carter for top 5? Word is he really was the one who killed the people he went to prison over and he allegedly attacked one of the women who helped arrange his release.
