You ever listen to James Toney speak my nikka?

I know people who never boxed a day in their life who talk like that. Sometimes that's just how people talk so for me bad speech doesn't mean brain damage automatically.

I still cry every time I hear Floyd say "Jose Luis Casteeelio" :laff:

:stopitslime: that nikkas brain is scrambled. He didnt talk like that when he was young. He slurs his words and talks much slower than he used to.

I didn't say he didn't have brain damage I'm saying I know people who never boxed that talk exactly like him. You can relate slurred speech to brain damage and sometimes that's just how people talk :manny:

It's because of the helmets, they're gonna have to take it back to the 30s and shyt when they had them leather joints.

Yup. Take the helmets away and people will stop launching themselves into each other head first

I was using him as a specific example though.

Part of that is coaching though. There's coaches out there that coach big hit over getting the man to the ground. It's ridiculous that everyone is amazed when Antione Winfield never missed tackles when that was the way it was supposed to be taught in the first place. My high school coach made us run laps if we tackled cats head first like a lot of players do now.

I remember first time I completely went dark on a field I was 14, I woke up on top of the cat I hit and no one noticed I was out, but I never lowered my head like that again. I played until I graduated college with only 1 other completely black out moment and maybe 20 or so times getting dazed. Helmets ain't the only reason
