    Can someone please clear something up for me, i read people say he has Pugilist Dementia but then i also read people say he has been told he needs 3 months before he can fight again?. Which is the truth or isnt it known and is all just speculation?

    Truth is he didn't wanna fight Andre Ward because

    1) They are friends.
    2) He'd get his ass kicked.

    He needs three months of no health issues, apparently.

    Three more months of acting school ought to do it for Dirrel.He can then impersonate a fighter with heart.

    Its just if it was Dementia then 3 months wouldnt make a difference ect, it is not something you can get rid of (AFAIK as of this moment)

    The thing is about his symptoms, is they could be so many things unrelated to brain injury. He's only mentioned dizziness, sleeping problems and headaches. So many over the counter pills, for regular medical problems, have similar side effects.

    I'm not saying it is nessecarily something like that, but if those are his only side effects and the brain scan he's had has cleared him, should it be taken for granted that he does have any brain damage?
