i dont really think you can get brain damage unless its serious hits like ali took or joe frazier (both fought foreman...what a coincidence )

because in my gym theres 2 fighters, both 20+ pro fights and theyve gotten hit hard, but are in great health.

ive also met and talked to cuck wepner and he seems normal. like no slurred speech, or brain injury like that.

Yeah, and Floyd Patterson was in "great health" until it all fell apart on him. Some **** don't show up for a while, man.

yeah, you're right about that.

but if a fighter doesnt fight in years and suddenly gets a problem, its also due to genetics

Its not gonna be apparent until later dog.

Pugilistic dementia develops over a period of years. Studies show that the average time of onset is about 16 years after the start of a career in boxing.

i think boxers that fight in light weights (thta means a lot of speed and lot pof puncehs) have more chances to suffer from brain damage, cause they receive a lot of hits, but heavyweights have chances too, so , its a gmble

not only the higher amount off punches but also the fact the every weightclass execpt hw dehydrate to make weight, and the combinataion is dangerous

everyone is different, some ppl like george foreman can take so many punches to the head without showing signs of any damage, while others like this one dude at my gym do show damage. Hes got the body of someone who should be quick as hell but hes been hit so much that his brain doesent have the ability to make it move quickly

Jack Lamotta took a gang of punchs, and theres a video of an interview with him at his older age and he still has his marbles. I think punchs may effect people differntly.

If you have to ask, forget about boxing......

It's no secret getting hammered in the head is bad for the brain. Getting repeatedly pummeled will have consequences. If I were to bump my head on my desk right now, I'd be dumber for it. So Yes, you get "dumber" if thats a huge concern than boxing, and even alot of other contact sports, notably football and hockey probably aren't for you. Haha, but boxing's the worst.
