ATG punch drunk fighters

Ali
Quarry
Bowe
Frazier
Norton

 

Which aren't? Foreman seems to be in great condition, but it could still come later.

 

Whitaker.

 

Frazier, Ali, Norton, Hearns, LaMotta (?), Pep was a little bit.

 

muhammad ali

 

Wilfred Benitez, Jerry Quarry, Muhammad Ali and Bobby Chacon really got the short end of the stick on this one. At least Ali has his wealth and fame. The others have/had become largely forgotten, Quarry dying in poverty, Benitez in a nursing home in Puerto Rico, and Chacon, seen on the streets collecting cans for money (although this has changed and his situation is better). All suffer/suffered from Dementia or in Ali's case Parkinson's brought on by their careers.

 

George Chuvalo doesn't appear effected by his boxing career at all. He's really had some bad things happen to him in his life, he makes speeches at colleges etc in Canada. His wife committed suicide as did at least one of his children, and they also got involved in drugs and prison. Poor guy

 

There must be some connection with him starting his boxing at a later age. Same with George Foreman.

 

Sugar ray Robinson

 

Although that probably helped, Norton also started late but is ****ed up as well.

 

Norton's problems are the result of an auto accident, not boxing. He was fine before the accident.

 

Foreman started boxing in his teens, and turned pro at 20, thats average.

 

His speech problems are from the auto accident where he went flying off of a high way, over the edge of a mountain, and smashed into the only tree on the whole damn mountain. All of the other crap is due to his boxing career,
