Muhammad Ali

December 1970

New York State Athletic Commission in their physical examination of Muhammad Ali stated that
the 29 year-old Muhammad Ali was showing signs of;

* slurring of words
* memory loss
* delayed thought process

Which were at an advanced level for a 29 year-old athlete.

December 7, 1970

Did Oscar Bonavena do damage to Muhammad Ali.

After their bout, Muhammad fell down and 'passed out' in his dressing room at Madison Square Garden.

Reports were, that Oscar may have dislodged Muhammad's brain.

From watching old movie fights and comments from articles, the brain becoming dislodged or disconnected is how they used to describe brain injury.

It's more likely that he suffered a concussion.

The late 70's when he fought Holmes it was obvious he had brain damage.

This is old news.

And your entire point is what exactly ?

The Point Is,

Muhammad Ali had suffered more damage than anyone knew in the bout with Oscar Bonavena.

And George Chuvalo sounds like a Rhodes scholar to this day and took more shots to the synapse then anyone in his era which includes the man you dog to the point of puking. Your total lack of respect for this man is beyond a fucking metaphor. For your sake, I hope you are not a Buddhist.

Again,

You are showing that you are an ignorant man. Filled with 'filth' from the posting of foul language.

Comparing the ability of one man to another in taking a hard blow to the head is foolish beyond belief.

And your inane ramblings are akin to a dog chasing it's own tail.

Bill, please leave this thread.

I bring up a good topic, and then I'm asked to leave my own thread.

When other posters spew 'foul words'.


NYSAC doctors examined Muhammad Ali at both 'before' and immediately 'after' his bout
with Oscar Bonavena.

The prognosis, was that something wasn't right with Muhammad Ali.

Though he appeared to be in good shape physically, his motor skills were 'sluggish'.

What 'foul' words were these?

I don't "RAT".

Would like to stay on 'topic'.

Muhammad didn't look right, after defeating a 'very slow and plodding' Oscar Bonavena.

Repeated wide hooks landed, and Muhammad was wobbled several times after taking punches
to the head.

Again, the skull issue.

When you punch to the head it often hits the skull. I think damage was caused throughout his career particularly the comeback because he took more punishment. Fraizer, Norton, Shavers and Foreman hitting you is bad for anyone's health.

It'd be easier to stay on topic if you could define what exactly the topic and it's point actually are?
