Have any boxers ever been diagnosed with CTE?

The commision over in the UK flat out refused the notion of giving Frank Bruno a license recently.

 

They are supposed to do neurological testing now.

 

What is CTE?

 

Sometimes a simple conversation can give you more information than neurological study. I'm not specialist but from what I know brain morphology is extremely complex thus it is pretty hard to catch some of the early symptoms by just scanning. But a simple conversation with guys like Toney or Angulo will give you and idea that they are brain damaged.

 

I would be shocked if Jermain Taylor doesn't have CTE.

 

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

A brain issue from multiple concussions...think Chris Benoit....

 

Is it what ex NFL athletes have? It leaves protein in your brain and makes it spongy?

It has become more common in the uk through rugby, they are trying to ban certain age groups from physical contact.

 

I agree,i cringe when I see what Froch did to him and to Bute.

 

is that the thing that makes paranoid and murderous for no reason?

 

No but I know one been diagnosed with TBE

A condition which a person get really severely dehydrated.

 

Concuss is common, but Bowe hit Holyfield in the chest so hard he busted a whole in his heart.

 

Yeah, the BBC did some recent documentaries on it. NFL and NHL are the two big ones for it in the US, Professional wrestling has had a lot to do with it in recent years, Rugby too.

 

Thing is, cte can't be detected until death
