Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Really poor use of the word "Evil" in some cases there.
Emile Griffith, Mike Tyson, Rubin Carter, Roberto Duran are certainly not men I consider to be "Evil". In fact in some cases it's downright insulting that you'd describe them as such. Particularly with like an Emile Griffith where you have absolutely no cause for it.
Most on the list I wouldn't classify as Evil, though a few fit the bill.
You left off a glaring omission in James Butler who is probably the most twisted bastard I've heard of in the fight game.
Quite a few guys have killed their girlfriends or wives I'm sure.
Randy Turpin shot his baby and then himself before he died. So yeah that surely could've qualified.
Anyway. To sum it up.

Hope you don't consider my opinion Contro-Versey-Al.

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Emile Griffith is going to give you a serious credibility problem right off the bat. He is so misplaced on this list, it's almost worth taking it down and putting in a different fighter.
And after that, the list is all over the place, with some guys being pretty legitimately evil and others having far more context to their actions, though I don't want to get into defending them here.
Along with James Butler who was already mentioned and deservedly so, I would add: Carlos Monzon, Panama Lewis, and Luis Resto.
Finally, may I suggest making room for all-time evil POS, Gerald McLellan. No list is complete without him.

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Carlos Baldomir, Tony Alaya jnr and the Hilton’s are more worthy of the list than some on there

Are we talking evil in the ring ?
Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Tyson and Carter are both reprehensible, no issue with them being included.

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Ya, I mean guys like Tyson and Carter you can certainly see the argument, I'm sure there are dudes way more evil but no one will prob care about obscure fighters
Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
I asked for feedback and you gave me feedback. Thanks ;) Just starting a new channel hoping to have some fun. Of course there will be lots of mistakes along the way and I am sure I won't make everyone happy. Regardless of that, thanks for the feedback. Maybe I will meet you again in the comment section of another video of mine, perhaps in the future :)gilgamesh wrote: ↑24 Aug 2020, 18:41 Really poor use of the word "Evil" in some cases there.

Weren't Burt Lytell and Curtis Sheppard alleged to be jailhouse sodomites ? That's evil stuff. Sugar Ray Robinson used to beat his pregnant wife-she suffered several miscarriages.

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
In boxing, you gotta throw punches with evil intentions. Either you kill or be killed up there in the ring.
I don't think any boxer throw blows to kill anybody, but to hurt, yes.

Carter was innocent wasn't he. Butler is the clear #1.

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
I just saw that!
I wrote him years ago for an autograph when he was with Sichuan Boxing,-through their postal address-and he sent me a nice package that included a personal letter, a boxing magazine, a couple of photos signed by him and a flag or Argentina! Certainly he didnt strike me as someone who'd do something like that! Im speechless!

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
It even says so in the video that he's innocent
I guess just getting accused makes you potentially "Evil"

Carter has a shady past for sure, whatever the verdict was, there's a lot more to it than some song and movie

Re: Who is the most evil boxer in boxing history?
Right. Nothing to do with the song and movie. He was acquitted of the crime. I don't think that happens for guilty men.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 18:49Gotta be rare for a guilty man to be set free after decades.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 17:44 Carter has a shady past for sure, whatever the verdict was, there's a lot more to it than some song and movie
