Fighters who had a disease in the ring

LOL, what a terrible affliction!

Good news though - there is always inevitable age onset recovery and complete cure waiting down the track.

By the time he fought Camacho, I would say Ray would’ve been given a clean bill of health on that score.

 

Rhabdomyolysis is caused by exhaustion. That would be like calling fight induced dehydration a disease.

 

Nice lol

 

It may not technically be disease but a syndrome. I stand by the answer.

 

Tyson had gonorrhoea the night he beat Berbick.

 

Michael Spinks suffered from Acute Tysonitis in his fight with Iron Mike. It came on quite suddenly resulting in an increasing heart rate, a cold sweat and an inability to perform his basic work tasks. He managed to recover after a long lie down but after his recovery he never fought again.

 

Ali had Parkinson’s disease late in his career.

 

Well, he didn't enter the fight with that.

 

Actually, he night have. I am not sure that you quite know how it actually works. In any event, his obesity is the underlining cause, which is increasingly defined as a disease.

 

It’s not caused by obesity. It’s commonly caused by overexertion. It’s due to muscle breakdown. Stiverne would’ve been bounced from the fight if his prefight samples had blood in them.

 

Please read up on it a bit more. Obesity can indeed be a contributing factor, and he might have had it before entering the ring. Exhaustion is ONE cause, not all of them. You can learn about this with a simple google search, and I am not going to debate it all night.

Good luck.

 

You should be banned for spreading false information.

Obesity is not what rhabdomyalosis is about. Nor does a pro athlete like Stiverne after a training camp have the risks of a sedentary obese person.

You have zero to say about the urine test before the fight.

 

I believe Frazier was legally blind in one eye and diminishing sight in the other. He fought the second Foreman fight with contact lenses which of course came out

 

If you can't do the simple google search, then I am done with you. As for me being banned, grow up.

Actually, i can tell by the way that you are now parsing your words that you HAVE researched it and DO know that obseity can be a factor.

 

Don't remember hearing this, but I looked it up, and sure enough found the story on it. He was quoted as saying, "I was dripping like a good humid July, man".
