    What the ****? U get a concussion when you've been knocked out. The only fighter to knock him out him out with a headshot is Bowe, so one as a professional.

    To meet your point half way, his brain will have been bashed against the side of his skull, tens of thousands of times.

    errr.

    Controversy exists about whether the definition of concussion should include only those injuries in which loss of consciousness occurs.[1] Historically, concussion by definition involved a loss of consciousness, but the definition has changed over time to include a change in consciousness, such as amnesia.[28] The best-known concussion grading scales count head injuries in which loss of consciousness does not occur to be mild concussions and those in which it does to be more severe.[29]

    Concussion is a just a general term for a mild brain injury caused by physical trauma. It doesn't always involve being knocked out.

    Technically every blow to the head that causes any damage to the brain is a concussion.

    Considerably less than the number of illegitimate babies he has.

    He creates babies as well as he counter punches.

    This he got a big pass after getting robbed against Valuev. I don't think anyone sane would say Valuev won that one.

    I refuse to take part of this discussion unless you can provide logical evidence to support the fact that there is actually a physical entity that can be positively linked to the soul that goes by the name of Evander Holyfield. In fact I want you to proof that I am actually involved in a discussion about the above mentioned subject and not just being manipulated by a creature, with powers beyond my comprehension, to think that I am taking part in such an online debate.

    An overly aggressive estimate would be around 25% of his fights, though around 5% is more realistic.
    25% is around 16 times.
    5% is like 3 times.
    Same numbers as every other boxer to ever fight. You git hit in the head, your brain is gonna bounce around.
