never said whites can't get it either but the likelihood is lower. black fighters almost all get it. vast majority do.
also note Freddie Roach's mind is clear as a whistle because he's still one of the best coaches in the game.Last edited by HeadShots; 03-06-2017, 01:03 AM.

stupid assumption. whites don't smoke? that's like saying the whites are all drunks.
when all things considered equal, whites/latinos are less likely to get pugilistic dementia from boxing.

How the hell do you figure that whites and Latinos suffer less from dementia? If anything i think that is the stupid assumption.

i listed many examples. not just 1. you need a group study to determine this.
let's look at WELL-KNOWN fighters with obvious signs of pugilistic dementia. Don't start listing fighters that nobody knows because we have to draw from the same pool for consistency.
Bowe
Toney
Ali
Holyfield
Frazier
Norton
Lyle
Frank Bruno
Gerald McClellan
Meldrick Taylor
Wilfredo Benetiez
Joe Louis
Ray Robinson
Floyd Patterson
Jimmy Young
Pernell Whitaker(he can't talk anymore)
Thomas Hearns
Roger Mayweather
just off the top of my head.
Let's see the list of discombobulated white/latino retired fighters.
the one thing you notice while watching FACING ALI is that all the black fighters were gone mentally..... all the white ones Chuvalo and that English dude that knocked Ali down were all perfectly coherent and mentally accute.Last edited by HeadShots; 03-06-2017, 01:44 AM.

I honestly think it's race related. Most fighters with pugilistic dementia and CTE are black.
