[MrLukedanger]

[kareemabdullah]

the division is wide open, but it aint that wide open

[mohammadshukri]

If we goes back to 1995. And bowe vs kitscho, bowe would fuck klitschkos in the ass.

[1cwa]

damn tyson briggs and bowe were all from brownesville dont fuck with a fool from brownesville!!!!

[hijaksomdo]

hey, at least his speech is better now

[parracatau]

he looks like 60 years old... why holyfield looks younger? holy looks always the same

[gefnanroolz]

NO WAY ON EARTH SHOULD HE BE ALLOWED TO FIGHT AGAIN- Bowe is shot, shot, shot. Sad to see this. Thomos Hearns is in a similar state.

[preoxwhygen2007]

bowe vs golota 3 .. bowe would be brain dead after the fight.

[willis7319]

It's so sad too see a great fighter like this should never fight again

[kuluku]

Come into a fight against Tommy Morrison or Andrew Golota, or dissapperared, don't deliver fuckin talk and waste time, you fucking fat bully!

[Bdog1277]

Who would give this guy a boxing license? This guy can't even put two words together correctly.

Poor Riddick. Pernell Whitaker talks the same exact way these days, sad.

[longrob]

@Bdog1277 I just listened to some of Pernell's interviews and he sounded nothing like this.

[yeaa96704]

Now you know why phd Klitschko makes sure he doesn't get hit. Screw all the fans that want him to get into wars. Bowe was slurring his speech as early as Golota. A great fighter doesn't have to take a punch because he doesn't get hit. Ali was hit often and the older he got the worse it got. Now he's brain damaged. But his fans don't care. The older Klitschko gets the fewer and fewer punches he takes.

[GoldeWC]

yeaa9604 EXCELLENT COMMENT !!!

[CoronaJoe]

Ali isn't brain damaged at all, he has Parkinsons. The Parkinsons is also not boxing related, 2 other people in his extended family also have it.

Now Bowe, yeah he's off for sure. I recall interviews from 91-92 where he sounded nothing like this.

[blarneystone74]

Not true, It is boxing related, it is called punchers demintia.

[CoronaJoe]

Not according to doctors. He has Parkinsons, which is not caused by boxing.

[blarneystone74]

I'll put it in simple terms for you then. This condtion occurs in people who have suffered multiple concussions, commonly manifests as dementia, or declining mental ability, problems with memory, and parkinsonism, or tremors and lack of coordination. It can also cause speech problems and an unsteady gait. The brains of dementia pugilistica patients atrophy and lose neurons, for example in the cerebellum. Sufferers may be treated with drugs used for Alzheimer's disease and parkinsonism.

[CoronaJoe]

I'm not sure why you're attempting to talk down to me (simple terms???), with your cut and paste description. I never said that punchers dementia doesn't exist, I was simply saying that according to the reports I've read, Ali's parkinsons can not be 100% blamed on his boxing career. He is still all "there" mentally, can to this day recall every moment of his career. Parkinsons is somewhat hereditary, and 2 members of Ali's family suffer from it, and neither of them ever took a shot to the head.

[Ahmet1445]

@yeaa96704

Alis desease has NOTHING to do with Boxing! Look at Holyfield, nobody took so much hard punches like him, he is nearly 50 and still fighting and still healthy! Klitschkos are pussies...jab jab jab crap!

[Bloufo]

@Ahmet1445,

you really think that Ali's condition is not boxing related? Wow! rofl

Back in '80, before the Holmes fight, Ali had a series of tests done to determine his physical and neurological well being. In a few tests he found it difficult to touch the tip of his nose with his finger. The early signs of damage were starting to be apparent even from before then, probably as far back as just after the 'Thriller in Manilla'.

Ali has had major brain stem damage. It's totally due to boxing.

[RichCwm]

Please don't come back Riddick!

[odin422]

.............punch drunk, PERIOD.
