    I havent heard any to be honest that sound slurrish or something, urbano sounds fucked up but I think he was born like that.

      PS you can also add Bowe to the list, he's pretty messed up.

      It's kind of weird actually. I was thinking about it awhile back and it just seems crazy that the dudes who took some of the worst punishment sound fine.

        I actually wonder what a dude like Arturo Gatti sounded like post boxing career lol

        I can't think of one dude off the top of my head that consistently took more punishment

            Jake LaMotta and George Chuvalo took some furious beatings and they are still in great health for their age. They definitely took more punishment than Pep and Benitez. Hell, Whitaker isn't sounding too healthy either.

            It's a very weird thing and there are countless examples.

                ALL boxers suffer from this. What's the point?

                You get hit in the head and you get the headaches and the shakes. Some handle it better than others.

                  Yes we know all boxers suffer from some brain damage, the point of this thread is to find out who actually sounds like it

                    I believe another was Yvon Durelle of Canada. There were obviously loads of punch-drunk fighters. From the days when medical care for boxers was almost non-existent and the Mafia and crooked managers were regarded as inevitable. The term attributed to them became standard American Englsih.

                      I notice TS has all black fighters in his list. mexicans and whites and all colors and creeds can get punch drunk too.

                      just so you know.
