    Mike’s a good dude. I see him often. Watched the fight last weekend with him. I really hope he gets the votes for Canastota, he deserves it.

    Sounds healthy, hope he’s well, no wonder he was seen as the heir apparent I forget how much he looked like Ray Leonard… one of the few southpaws I enjoy watching big fan. What’s Mr Nunn like?

    I completely agree! That stretch of title defences he had before the Toney fight is just insane. Nunn beat Tate, Roldan, Kalambay, Barkley, Starling and Curry one right after the other. He was insanely good. Please tell him that there are still old dudes like me that remember what he did and are happy to see that he is doing well.

    We have hard skulls and big heads. That's just how the rules are.

    @NoNeck didn't you have a theory?

    Way overdue for the IBHOF. It's a damn shame that he hasn't been considered. Nunn was an amazing fighter. Great to see that he's also a chill man to talk to.

    I kind of remember what you're talking about.

    I think I said that Broca's area and Wernicke's area are on the left side of the brain, so a southpaw would take less damage to those areas bc they get punched on the right side of their face. Those are two parts of the brain that are important for speech.

    Are there any southpaws you can think of that have CTE? Regardless fun theory.

    I don't think I can. Adonis Stevenson almost died in a fight, but that's more of a single incident than CTE. Maybe a mild case for Pernell Whitaker?

    Just realized that Big Meech and Nunn served similar sentences over a similar period in time. Something isn't right in with the US justice system.

    I recall Herol Graham having CTE.

    I always felt it was just Pernell way of talking lmao
    Some people pointed out Errol Spence jr. too but that can be attribued to his countless car flips or his thick, southern accent
