    Does anyone else think he seems to not be affected much at all by being punch drunk? He looks really healthy here. Really happy for him, considering he had such a tough career.

    He is good, he talks really similar to Chavez, they just weren't on schools.

    He didn't get hit much. Didn't take many beatings.
    I can't judge the quality of his speech as well as maybe a half a billion other people might.

    He doesn't seem affected by it.

    He says Canelo KO's Golovkin because Golovkin has no defense. Though he admits Canelo doesn't have much defense either and they both hit hard. He may be just buttering these guys up. He's pretty gregarious.

    Duran was usually the one dishing out dementia.

    I like Duran as a fighter not as trainer or commentator he failed with Mosley recently but he's very honest with his opinion.

    Some guys seem more vulnerable to PD than others regardless of how much damage they took... Duran, Lamota, Foreman and others seem fine despite their lengthy careers and all the damage they absorbed. While others were cursed with PD after a bad night or two - like Meldrick Taylor.
