I don't think anything beats confidence, and preparation. To fight successfully you also need need aggression, determination and will... loads of attitude, which is only real when something is backing it up. But if you are going to rely on anger alone, or think that anger is what gives you the edge, you'd better be selective who you fight. When Tyson was prepared, and in good mental shape, he was invincable. When he started relying on his anger alone, he was in trouble. Better prepared, and so more truly confident fighters beat him. I would sum it up this way, you can put a world champion flyweight in with a world champion heavyweight, and the flyweight can get as angry as he likes. It takes more than anger.
