I see Barrys point....Years ago when I first started here I wrote something on M esi when he was dealing w his issues and had just gotten licensed....Yes these are grown men who know the severity of what could happen but again they don't KNOW the severity of what could happen...If many fighters truly understood what could happen due to boxing we would have many many less fighters....

I remember how many guys would not go see the G-Man even those who were his good friends due to the fact they did not want the reminder that it could be them....

Guys need to make a living and as champions they are just starting to9 make the real money they have been aspiring for so they want to chance it...Some are in a Catch 22 situation..they will not be able to provide for their families well enough with a regular job so they keep at it hoping this is not the night things go wrong...Tough tough way to make a living
