    Do any exist? I can't think of any. Maybe not getting hit during adolescence is more important than it gets credit for.

    Sadly, it's the exception to the rule, all the boxers I've known with long careers showed evidence of brain damage, 'specially when they got older.

    Even some that you'd think wouldn't, did. Heard recently of a couple that surprised me.
