      Paulie Malignaggi as lucky af, to have taken the amount of punishment he has and still sounding coherent. Also isn't it better to be KO'd than to sustain damage over 12 (hence why ufc is safer than boxing??)

        Manny Pac takes a lot of punches too. It's not showing any ill-effects right now but he really should quit now.
        Same for Donaire.
        I know a 40 something year old pro that fought at the highest level (never won the belt though) who had to stop driving because hed forget where he was going. The last straw was when he had to pull off the side of the rode to call someone because he forgot his way home and was 5minutes away.

        Boxing is no joke! Most people don't take into consideration the sparring a boxer does his/her whole life which to me is the biggest cause of the brain injuries.

          This! I believe TV isn't a true reflection of how violent boxing is. I admit i used to take it for granted until i went to the local gym and saw two guys spar, I think most people would appreciate anyone who steps into that ring if they did.

              Oh yeah, Roy Jones, Jermain Taylor, Price, Pascal, Amir Khan, just to name a few. I would also like Pacquiao to retire before he gets seriously hurt.

Maybe it's because I can actually see the effects it has had on the older fighters i.e holyfield, or just a better understanding on head injuries. Similar to tim bradley in the twilight of his career, i'm struggling to watch sean porter fight. He takes some serious damage in most of his fights i've watched and can't have a long career fighting like that.

                Are there any fighters you feel this way about, or is it all in the game?


                This dude. He's gonna get hurt... more.

                  Rubin Williams has like 30 straight losses, most of them by KO. Dude is 42, partially blind and they let him fight on and get knocked out.

                    Honestly the one for me without Joking is Deontay Wilder. Why? He thinks hes the guy that gets 60% in the Joshua fight and wont fight him for less then 50% no matter how many PPV buys he does. One has to worry about his mental state ,certainly fans who want to see the fight. I though he was an act but watching more interviews I don't think it is, he isn't all there which is sad because we want to see the fight.

                      Chisora. He went from having a strong chin that could take 12 rounds from Vitali and a bare fist Hayemaker the same night to getting wobbled by half-landed Takam punches. The fact he won that fight means he'll get a bigger fight next and could take a beating. Whyte is the worst fight for him health-wise because he can punch but isn't a great finisher so 10-12 rounds of getting hurt but weathering the storm multiple times which seems worse for a fighter than a quick KO loss.
