    Default Legends who have suffered the least noticable damage

    I was watching a few clips on George Chuvalo yesterday, and for a guy who was known as an easy target, a guy who got wailed on by Foreman, Patterson, Ali and Frazier (twice each), the guy seems to have gotten out of boxing relatively unscatched. I mean to hear him speak even at the age of 71 you'd never know he's had 93 professional fights and has been belted by some of the best and hardest hitting boxers of all time. He even goes around talking at colleges.

    Jake Lamotta was another one who seemed to have came out of boxing relatively well. At 87, obviously his speach and mental capacities have slowed with age, but he still speaks clearly in interviews, despite having over 100 fights and given his style and tendacy to take punishment.

    Who are some of the other legends that seem to be functioning well after decades out of the ring?

    Matthew Saad Muhammad i see an interview with him he seemed fine with his speech and ETC, despite all the wars he had which is suprising.

    George Foreman seems pretty sharp, no slurring of speech that I can detect.

    Foreman seems to be good as previously stated by CGM


    Lots of the older guys seem(ed) pretty on the ball from what I saw of them.

    Basilio
    Fullmer
    Maxim - he was sharp (from what i saw) up until his death in 2001

    Good call ,I'm standing in Target buying one of his gazillion grills for a co-worker Sat. and could not get the vision of Holyfields 23 hard hooks bouncing off his head......on the box he is grinning ear to ear,just smiling away,no worries in the world .His commentary was ....unique.....but the man is all there,no doubt.
