I recently saw Holyfield on TV....he was slurring his words like crazy. This is an early warning sign of brain damage. Holyfield has already proven his greatness, he is a multi-millionaire who doesn't need the money...so I have no idea why he continues to put his health in danger. Let's hope he retires before he ends up like Ali.

Ali would have been the way he is either way. He has parkinson's disease and that is not formed by getting hit in the head..the effects can show up alot sooner because of the head trauma but either way it would have been that he had parkinsons disease

Holyfield has sounded shot since the end of the 2nd Tyson fight. I do believe he has taken to much and is already on the path to destruction. One thing I would like to point out is that Ali didnt get into his condition overnight and neither did Meldrick Taylor but Holyfield has already showed signs of an OLD Ali, he is already there. The sad thing about it is that we or anybody else can do anything about. Holyfield is already a tragic story.

Plus weird enough is that nobody mentions James Toney punch drunk voice, he slurs his words everywhere and you can barely understand him.

Actually one of Ali's doctors said that Ali has Parkinson's Syndrome...which CAN be progressed by taking repeated shots to the head.

Taking those punches doesn't help anyone in old age period. Likely Ali would have still had parkinsons in older age but his boxing career accelerated it.

Also in reference to the title, isn't that a bit like saying Toney MAY have a weight problem?

Vander just MIGHT be showing some signs of brain damage. Details at 11.

Get a life. Holyfield has passed ALL medical testing, INCLUDING brain scans. He sounds the same as he did 20 years ago. ****ing rumor monger.
