- wnevets 13y agoperhaps however a better example would have to be george foreman. The brain damage he suffered by getting punched by ali quite scary
- mathattack 13y agoTrue. And it's not just the fights, it's the training. Ali used to train without headgear, as he wanted to prepare in as realistic a situation as possible. Even with the headgear, you can get a lot of small concussions. It is sad to see punch-drunk boxers who have started to slur. I did a little bit of boxing several years back. It was all fun and games until I went into the ring. After two sparring sessions I decided it was a lot more fun to go after bags that don't hit back.
