I didn't get the impression Baer was a psychopath. Outside the ring they showed him as a spoiled playboy. Inside the ring he was more of a combination of Apollo Creed's "I'm so much better than you I can afford to play with you" attitude, and Ivan Drago's "If he dies, he dies (cause that's what happens when you get in the ring with me.)" From your link the Drago persona is wrong, but the rest seems right on.
