I think the fact that Jin left him broke is the reason he is still fighting. I think we might be seeing the second coming of recent times Roy Jones. I really hope it isn't so

No announcement yet.
Has anyone else noticed Shane Mosley slurring his words?

i heard she got half of everything and a percentage of what he earns down the road.
she also got one of his championship belts, to add insult to injury, but the word is that it's eventually going to one of his kids
Re slurring of speech. Yeah, he's been like that for a while.
Boxers being punch-drunk is one of those things that we as fans struggle to confront. We want wars and these guys to put their bodies on the lines, but we also have to accept that it's ****ing damaging as hell.
One of the thing that infuriates me the post is when people make fun of someone like, say, Toney, of how he makes no sense, he's punch-drunk.
Mother****ers, do you know why he's like that?
This is the price they pay to do what we love to watch.

Yep, thats why it was so painful watching him take all those punches from Canelo. The sad fact of the matter is a lot of boxers are running the chances of brain damage down the road when they compete in as many fights as he has.
Side note: Is anyone else just utterly amazed that LaMotta is in as good of shape as he is at 90? I mean seriously 100+ fights, in some wars, never took great care of himself, and he's the one doing comedy shows. Boggles my mind. Congrats to him, makes me smile, but I still don't understand it.

Speech looked ok to me.
The fast hand/feet athlete tends to have worst brain damage.
RJJ, Wilfredo Benitez, Meldrick Taylor, Ali.....maybe I am choosing the data selectively.
