    Boxers throughout history that are surprisingly NOT punch drunk/brain damaged.

    Duran, Foreman and Julio Chavez Sr. just to name a few. Those guys fought for decades and were in some hellacious wars and speak clearly. Any others?

      George Chuvalo, now 80 years old. And the last time I saw him on TV, still witty and charming. The guy was about 75, then, and dating a much younger woman. Lol Understand that Chuvalo was one of the toughest heavyweights of all time. He was in some wars, and took major punishment. Indeed, George is in any discussion of the toughest fighters in history in any weight class.

          His personal life was hell. Lost three of his sons and a daughter to drugs. His wife couldn't handle it and committed suicide. What a hell he must have went through.

            Roy Jones Jr. He thinks and speaks fairly well for someone who's been KTFO so many times.

              Oliver McCall.

              Considering he fought untill nearly 50 Years old and had over 70 Fights, he's still sharp and speaks clearly.

                McCall’s chin was GOAT level was he ever even hurt?

                  Jake LaMotta was a medical marvel in my eyes. Dude lived to be 90 something and would still do his stand up comedy routines late into his life.

                    I know, man. I’ve often wondered what Chuvalo must be made of. He’s endured physical and emotional punishment on the highest levels, yet he appears unfazed. Special guy.
