How is Lennox Lewis one of the few HW's without any brain damage?

Magomed is not in a coma. Where were you going with that exactly?

I wasn't talking to you.

[Weltschmerz]

How would you know. Anyway, as others hint, he wasn't ever the brightest listening to him speak.

That's fine. I was talking to you. That's how these public forums work. Og course, you could simply use the private message function. Or you could ignore me.

I just asked you a simple question. Where were you going with your statement. "at least he's not in a coma like..."

Which is also not correct btw.

He was a smart boxer. Avoided punishment. I thought that was pretty apparent. "Remember that war Lennox Lewis was in," said no one ever.

That's exactly it. He was ko'd twice in his whole career and that was from one punch, not an accumulated beating. Other than that I've seen him rocked a handful of times or less. Briggs, grant, zlotanwhatever the hell his name was and klitschko are the only guys I recall even hitting him clean and staggering him. The vitali fight was his hardest outside of the losses. Best heavyweight I've ever seen.

Why are some of yousaying he is dumb? Hes pretty well spoken

I've been going through video clips on youtube and watching interviews of boxers and so many of them seem to have brain damage and punch drunk.

Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Bone Crusher Smith, Bert Cooper. Shannon Briggs, Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno, the list goes on and on when you watch their interviews from back in the day, they seemed fine, but now they all have some sort of brain damage and slurring of words. My question is, how come Lennox Lewis doesn't show any of these problems. He's been in just as many wars, but when listening to his interviews, he's well spoken and quite intelligent. He looks to be in great health.

What gives?

Lennox was wise He knew the right time to call it a day. He beat every man he ever faced in the pro ring. There was nothing else to prove Bowe ran like a fat hare from him. Wlad went into hiding when he saw Vitali's face Ike Ibeabuchi was otherwise engaged due to a $$ grabbing hooker there was no other serios opponent for him so he retired
He is now a Happy Healthy Wealthy Contented man with a great family.
Thankyou Lennox for Everything!!!

Briggs is still going strong for now! Don't know if Tyson is significantly brain damaged like the others, i think he just has a lisp.

It's pretty obvious i think. Big behemoths hitting each other flush for years, like others said Lewis didn't go one fight too many in the sport.

Foreman is another one who doesn't slur and he is quite a bit older than Lewis.

he absolutely has brain damage

You should know a thing or 2 about that, judging by your posts.

I'll never understand people's need to **** on a fighters intelligence. When I hear it I always think back to the Richard Pryor stand up where he was talking about Leon Spinks. "Hey, Leon. What do you do for a living?" "I knock mother****ers out."

[Luilun]

Klitschko bros have no brain damage
