    The 46-year-old boxer was spotted looking pretty serious while he showed up at the WBC and Hublot Watches auction for the benefit of retired boxers pension fund in a neck brace with his wife Lakiha Spicer.
    The heavy weight champion had to go for surgey recently to fix an old injury to his neck made during his days on the professional

    So his quote: I was damaged before boxing" was on his twitter but if it is specific to that injury or overall with his Mental and Physical...not sure.


    The reason I am bringing this up as news is because of his past:

    First time I heard about him having back problems was from something I read about him having back problems in the amateurs. I can't remember the details so someone else can fill it in.

    And of course this...which is supposed to be a funny video but I'm still using it for the quotes and explanation to the thread

    Now imagine the toll that Style took on his back.

    It could just be the way his Head/face looks a bit separated from his body because of the separation from his shoulders to his head is more visual to the eyes with the neck-brace than his neck. Basically, the neck-brace interrupts the natural visual flow from head to shoulders.

    I can imagine a lot of heavyweights(and others) retire from the ring with serious injuries built up over the years of being punched.

    All that damage eventually takes its toll.
