Shane Mosley is showing signs of brain damage.

Not gonna lie, Mosley should have hung them up a LONG time ago. A true warrior, but his granite chin will be his worst enemy in the coming years.

FFS, I listened to an Amir Khan interview today and he sounded like he was starting to slur his words as well.

 

What's CTE? And can you post a link.

Ali had Parkinson's, he just got worse and worse (his speech) from 80s to 90s even though he stopped.

 

He does seem a little sketchy.

 

From the 35 second mark and onward I thought I heard some slight slurred speech, still cant tell completely though.

 

10 counts cause this kind of thing

 

I checked a video from March 2012 and he seemed ok, with little slurring evident. In fact, he seemed normal.

I find it hard to believe that in the space of a few months his mind would have degenerated to such an extent.

I think what needs to be considered is teh context of that interview. To me it looks like some sort of club or restaurant. As such, it wouldn't surprised me if he was more tipsy, and alcohol drunk rather than punch drunk.

I hope I'm right.

 

Yeah his speech pattern has clearly changed compared to early 2000s.
Sad truth.

 

He might have been drinking. If not then yes he seems to be getting worse.

 

If he wants to keep on fighting then so be it, its the life he chose and if anybody is gonna take the high moral ground with a boxing icon like Mosley then we should also ask for the thousands of tomato can level fighters licenses to be revoked as well but nobody cares cause there just there to be used as cannon fodder for a young fighters record to be built up.

 

Sounds like Evander Holyfield.

Strange, being that he hasn't really been in wars or suffered any prolonged beatings. His punch resistance is just about gone, though. :verysad

 

probably has more to do with his breathing like most boxers who mess up the cartilage in their noses which affects their speach because they have breath out of their mouths.
