    Some guys are more resistant to getting punch drunk than others. It could catch up to him big time years from now. He is being foolish to continue to fight when it seems unlikely he needs the money. Hopkins was also foolish for the same reason. Floyd Patterson seemed fine when he retired but he died at a young age because of all the damage he took as an older fighter.

        its really something how some guys take so much damage without if affecting yet others get ruined by much less punishment. the Bronx bull lamotta is still going strong at 95 years old. ray robinson died at 67.
