Hence why they ARE getting some damage. You wont actually know what that sparring has done to a person until 20+ years later when they are punch drunk or have decreased motor reflexes.

    My point is, journeymen like Own Beck, Michael Sprott etc... get paid for sparring by Wladimir and get a pounding!.. I am saying that the rigors of training camp give the boxer brain damage. As i said not everyone is a Mayweather and journeymen all have there place in boxing, and hence brain damage is more prevalent as they are not skilled enough to get away from the punches.

    what are you saying?
    what are u tryna say? boxing should be banned..

    go away, i get the feel uve never been in the ring ur self

        It really really does
        Indeed, they probably had brain damage.

          have you ever boxed a day in your life or trained in a boxing gym ? Because im pretty sure the trainer always stresses working on technique and developing on skill when sparring and when a 13 year old goes in with a 16 year old the trainer would tell the 16 year old to take it easy on the kid and work on areas he needs improvement. I really dont get the picture you are trying to paint since you are using so many canvas'. You can always play chess if u scared to box

            Its a video on ESNEWS about James Toney. Mick Foley said he never trained, never hit the bag. All he did was sparr. So I imagine he sparred 5 days a week. Which is bad on the brain. I personally believe it all falls on the boxer. Now I think if you ever get a headache from sparring you should take some time off to let ur brain recoup. I think thats a sign that your brain is telling you to chill out. Those who ignore these signs I believe end up with illnesses.

              The presence of death and brain damage is why the sport is respected like it is.

                Yes i have, but thats irrelevant. Dont follow Mayweathers bullcrap about "you aint never been ina ring before, you dont know" because actually you don't have to go in the ring to understand what brain scans are, and physical examinations of fighters etc etc..

                NOT everyone has skill, those that dont have skill take punches to the head. They are the ones that are getting brain damage.

                      A fighter needs to become sharp. The way they do that is by sparring. During training camp they step up the intensity and surly the accumulation of punches received during training (even with head gear and 16oz gloves) is damaging the brain? I hear that Toney and such fighters sparr hundreds of rounds. Sprot went over to Germany to spar with both Klitschkos. Isn't the rigors of a training camp that make a fighter essentially brain dead? When a sparring partner is getting pounded on. Or when there are gym wars between 2 fighters?

                      I know of children in amateur gyms that spar tough. Also teenagers from 14-19 who sparr rough. Head gear don't really protect your brain from taking the punishment, its just for knots, lumps and cuts.

                      Debate away..

                      Parkinson's has never been linked with boxing past basic speculation.
