[Stuntman Mike]

i seen worse videos of him recent i cant find them. But you can see difference in his voice from 2004 to now, he was a lot clearer back then. You might not notice it without the accent if you just watched the recent video.

His voice is deeper and hes just thinking about what hes saying because its political and they think hard about what they say before he blurts it out

Vitali seems fine to me

I remember when ESPN added Iran Barkley to their commentary team not too many years ago. It was sad to watch, he had been long gone prior to hiring him. I saw him at a IBHOF weekend and got an autograph, he was glassy eyed and obviously brain damaged at that time.

Which is particularly depressing for yours truly, as The Blade is one of my all-time favorites.

"Ain't got time to bleed", as told to his corner men just before knocking Hearns out, remains one hell of a quote

Nick Blackwell is in real bad shape mentally

He had two comas in the space of a few months, the second one because he sparred shortly after having been saved from the first...

The one I was sure would become brain-damaged is Andrew Golota. But if one watches his current state, he looks pretty good.

On the other hand, George Chuvalo was considered for decades an incredible example of toughness without apparent damage. But, in the end, he too succumbed to dementia. The following is an article about him from last year:

Shane Mosley has sounded bad at times in interviews. But other times he sounds ok.
