    Everyone who has boxed or taken part in a contact sport could have CTE, some get it early on after limited amounts of the brain being rattled, but others like Jake La Motta who had over 100 bouts, yet appeared to have limited if any evidence of CTE even time of his death aged 95.

    AJ going from Olympic gold medallist to being a World Heavyweight champion by his 16th pro fight and being the A side from there on in, to then fall from that pinnacle has tested his mental fragility, and i think his words and behaviours recently, are more to do with him showing his true colours after losing titles and performance being criticised, rather than definitive evidence of CTE.

    I honestly think he is and even though I have always felt he's over rated I think Klitschko ruined him. He's never been impressive since. Although I dislike him now, I genuinely think he is showing signs of CTE and if I was around him I'd be telling him to walk away from the sport.

    I even remember after the Klitchko fight he said a few off kilter things on the mic. I think he has always been a bit off even Dillian Whyte said that about him many years ago.

    He's a funny one is Dillian. When he talks about himself and the way he's been overhyped by the matchroom brigade pits me off him, but when he talks about everyone else, I don't mind him and how he just calls it as it is.

    Yeah I feel the same way about Whyte he can be an annoying whiner but he is alright when he calls it as it is. On a related note I have also been enjoying some of Chisora's interview crashing trolling lately lol

    He had me in hysterics when he was talking about Wilder after one of the Fury losses, and they asked him what was next for Wilder.

    "Crack cocaine...heroin...descent into darkness..."

    The context being this was when Wilder was talking all his crazy nonsense about being poisoned, loaded gloves, treacherous cornermen, etc.

    If AJ is getting punchy, he should hang the, up immediately. He's got enough money, and being two-time champion, absolutely nothing to prove.

    I think he's all right, though. He has the same kind of ego-shattering as Wilder, because, while he was not outright manufactured in the same way, all of a sudden coming up against guys who could beat him was a hell of an eye-opener from the days of beating up on Martin and Breazele.

    Fury is jealous of AJ’s body and says AJ probably has a big dick as well and he wished he had one. Oh my goodness.
