Good grief! Oliver McCall fighting again - at 54!!

Younger guys with records like 3-20-1 go down quickly without significant damage. By the way, having a bad chin makes you less likely to get a brain damage.

How many brain damaged boxers can you list who have never been knocked out?

Ali for one.

Lyle was a Heck of a story teller. They could have just let the cameras roll and I would have tuned in.

Parkinson's isn't caused by head trauma. It's primarily genetic.

You can't convince me it wasn't from his boxing career.

Can you do me a favour oog, can you go to the off topic section and make a post asking for reccomendations for books with detailed accounts/descriptions of warfare, like from the perspective of someone on the field of battle. Can be any wars, just curious about it. I can't post in OT

Yeah I get that. Remember all those grueling bouts Michael J. Fox was in?

Oh....wait a minute

Why doesn't every Boxer have Parkinkson's disease then? A lot of 'em get hit a hell of a lot more than Ali did.

I've read reports in years past that had Ali suffering from symptoms of Parkinson's brought on by too many blows to the head.
I shall look further into it as it's been a lot of years.

Mechanisms do exist through which traumatic brain injury, or TBI, might lead to Parkinson's. Head trauma can increase inflammation, which plays a role in the disease.Jun 10, 2016

Ali's parkinson's was genetics + head blows. If he didn't have parkinson's, he would've been relatively fine. Anyone genetically predisposed to parkinson's who has a moderately violent boxing career is going to be disabled in their twilight years. If McCall doesn't have a predisposition to parkinson's, then he isn't going to become Ali.

Parkinson's would've already been showing itself by now if he was gonna get it I believe. McCall that is.

That being said Pugilistic Dementia has gotta be a real possibility for him.

You know better than medical professionals. Fair enough.

As I previously posted, I'm speaking head shots as a cause, not that Parkinson's is not genetic. Of course it is. SMH.

I heard that McCall called out Andy Ruiz to fight him...

Maybe he should fight Briggs instead.

[jewboypgh]

what state is allowing this?
SHAMEFUL!

[jewboypgh]

this guy had crack issues way back in 94 when he fought Lennox.
he was no spring chicken back then

allowing him to fight is despicable.
