It's depressing to see him a little punch drunk already. Dude needs to hang 'em up or we soon won't be able to understand a word he says.
I ran into him after the weigh in and I didn't notice anything. However at a burger joint between the Mandalay Bay and the Luxar I ran into Holyfiled... Now that is bad..
Canelo beat the sense out him so I'm not surprised at all. He was eating those punches like candy trying to prove some point.
Shane been slurring before Canelo even got a HBO date...he was in wars before the kid knew what a million dollars look like....dude don't get no credit or props for what he did to Mosley....last time Shane won a fight Obama was being sworn in
Genetic. Looked at Hagler and Chuvalo.
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.
I agree genetics play a huge role, its just really interesting. Makes you wonder if Ali never fought, would he still have maybe developed parkinson? My grandma had parkinsons and it made me believe if I ever did become a boxer there would be a much bigger chance I'd develop it. It's just interesting to see how some people smoke and drink and live forever and some people have a heart attack at 50. Makes you wonder. But I dont want to take away from the OP's theme. Yeah, Shane's had problems for a while.
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.

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 :(
Sad, but true.:nonono:
the long standing rumor is that shane had contemplated a much earlier retirement until his ex wife // ex manager jin took him to the cleaners in a california divorce court
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

of course hanging up his gloves is a good thing for him at this stage, but his speech is only going to go down hill as he gets older
usually pugilistic dementia becomes much more severe long after the fighter is done fighting.
