          Mental issues can contribute to all of the above in it's own ways.

          I voted personal problems by the way.

            id definitely say wear and tear. those with hard chins do well as a fighter but life after a boxer usually shows a greater sign of brain damage.

              It's notable that guys like Gatti or Katsidis can fight for so long.

              But Vargas was pretty much done post-Tito.

              In fact, "Prime Felix Trinidad" should have been one of the options.

                I would say being on a receiving end of too much punishment is uno with a coke habit being second.
