maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 20, 2013 The irony is that those dodgy decisions which otherwise have ended Ali's career in 1976 rather than 1981 may have contributed to Ali's health problems... In one of the many books of serious writing on Ali Joyce Carol Oates discusses the dubious benefits of his ability to take a punch and hang on to win a long fight. In fact, Ali's late-career rope-a-doping meant he shipped a lot of punches round the back of his head/top of his neck; the very place at which he was most likely to sustain damage to his brain's ability to communicate with and control his central nervous system.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted April 20, 2014 In something of a career prime but 49 year old Bernard Hopkins is our kind of guy. Still taking massive blows to the head, going the distance and winning a worthwhile title (which doubtless means taking more massive blows into his fifties). S'cuse the cynicism but...DL 2034 may have him in first place, not that he'll know much about it. http://www.bbc.co.uk...boxing/27093417 Ironically, our man supports research into brain injuries in sport: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/26049533 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
