How do you relate to boxers' post-career lives, and the sport of boxing itself.
E.g., we discuss the greatness of Joe Louis, SRR and Ali when they were in their prime, but rarely
what happened to them when they hang up their gloves. Their success between the ropes came
with a high price. Not to mention all these no. 1 challengers (or every other hopeful pugilist), who
failed to achieve a title, and fell into oblivion, facing a rough life when the spotlights went out.
We all hope for a healthy old age. At the same time, we’re aware of, that numerous boxers who
entertain us for the moment, will be deprived of it. Because we know, that blows to the head
damages a human.
