It just shows how individualized fighters are regarding ill-effects from head blows. George Chuvalo took crunching shots from Frazier, Quarry, Foreman, Ali, Patterson, and so many others and he was relatively lucid into his seventies. Terry Norris took head bombs from Julian Jackson and Simon Brown only from what I recall. Then I remembered he had almost three hundred amateur fights and also took blows from Curry, Castro, Taylor, Waters, Rios, Rupa, Mullings, and even Boudouani in his last fight when he had already sustained significant head trauma. I remember listening to a Norris interview before his fight with Rosenblatt and was shocked even then how his speech had been affected. Norris was a fine champion with extraordinary ability but thank goodness he didn't get in the ring with Gerald McClellan or rematched Julian Jackson.
@hw50912 жыл бұрын
Ironic you mention McClellan. Anyways some guys take it harder than others, and it affects speech more than others, where it may affect short term memory, etc more than speech. Just too many shots the head, too many concussions. Unless you have a head like a damn mastiff, like Foreman or Mercer, it's going to take a heavy toll. He is small, and was in double the fights most guys ever did, which includes all the more sparring, etc.
@ConcernedResident_GiantStack2 жыл бұрын

All fighters should have a portion of their salary put into a retirement account so that they don't end up penniless. In addition, all boxers should be covered by some sort of national boxing health insurance. And to make this even "safer", every fighter should undergo an independent CAT scan every 2 years for re-licensing. Terry had over 300 amateur fights and over 60 professional fights. That's just too much for one body to absorb.
@Ivantheterrible812802 жыл бұрын
You’re assuming most fighters are financially sound enough to do that, and that they are smart enough to not get involved with promoters, managers, etc. that don’t take practically every dime. That’s assuming a lot.
@tayjones79382 жыл бұрын
I agree I said it should 5 percent of each fighters purse put in a (FRA) Fight Retirement Account Therefore if a fighter got paid let's say an average of 1 million a fight over a 40 fight career. Which we know most fighters don't but it's an (ie). So 5 percent of 1 million is 50k. (50k x 40fights)=2Million dollars. And the day they retire they get access to the FRA for their career. Imagine what Mike Tyson FRA would have looked like with and average of 13 million a fight. 5 percent of 13 million would be {650k x 58fights}=37million. That would be a helluva 401k oh yeah FRA
