U think manny was destroying his fighter?
Look what he did to wlad, there is a interview where he talks about how they didn’t spar enough over there.
These trainers still promoting consistent hard sparring are clowns

train hard, fight smart.
train smart, fight hard.

I mean, let’s be real here, if you’re dedicating your whole life to boxing from childhood into your 30s and 40s, you’re gonna kinda have to live with the idea that you’re doing a lot of irreparable damage to yourself and brain over time. Same with football.
You can do all you can and make training as safe as possible but these are violent sports that you’re participating in full boar before your brain is even fully developed.

Hard sparring is the best you can get to simulating an actual fight. It allows your body and your mind to feel what it's like, get comfortable with, train your mind to make decisions while under duress, or while outputting a great deal of physical energy. It allows you to test your stamina. etc.
Now is it possible for truly great fighters to experience this early in their career, take the feeling of being in their first fights and able to abandon hard sparring if they can find alternative ways in training camp to test and push themselves? Able to abandon hard sparring if they can mentally and physically flip the switch to "I'm ready for war and I'm ready to go into deep waters and bang" as soon as the bell rings?
Sure, but is that rare to be able to do effectively, yes.

And in Terry's case it was hard sparring on top of the wars he had that caused his damage...he had a reputation of it..him and his brother Orlin who was a cruiser/heavy used to hard spar against each other
Maidana use gloves with no padding he was exposed against mayweather, and he still couldn't finish broner off
One punch can stunt in sparring or in a fight
they call boxing the hurt business for a reason
because you are going to get hurt, there's no way to make fighting safe
If you’re going to compete then sparring hard is a requirement, no way around it. Now I do have an issue with trainers putting experienced fighters in with someone who’s green just for them to be a punching bag. IG is full of clips showcasing this

Sparring definitely plays a major factor in brain damage. Just like how in football, it isn’t just the concussions, it’s the repetitive smaller blows over a long period of time. For every fight a boxer has, god knows how many hits to the head they took in the many rounds of sparring they had. They also are larger targets in sparring with the headgear.
Most ring deaths are also from long drawn out beatings rather than Pacquiao-Hatton, Jackson-Graham type KOs. They’re also mainly below HW, which probably says something about the dangers of cutting weight.
Definitely, and it’s unpredictable how your brain will react to the punishment. Some guys are very sharp mentally after long careers where they take a lot of punishment, others aren’t. They talk about brain damage in boxing in this great documentary

this...every fighter is different physically and have a certain number of actual fights in them...rule of thumb of course is to take less punishment as possible
some have a lot of fights and seem to be very lucid, some a short number of fights and have issues...you can't predict it either

The average person is susceptible to brain damage, you dont even have to hit your head to suffer trauma. Babies, Boxers/fighters or any sport/entertainment involving helmets are just at a higher risk.
