It's not all that surprising considering all the wars and sparring sessions Manny has been through. It wouldn't have just been because of JMM 4, although that pretty much done its damage too.

[Beanflicker]

It's a risk all fighters take when they step in the ring.

The human brain and skull isn't made to get punched 1000 times.

Poppycock. There is nothing wrong with the man.

He won't be the same again, but it not an illness. It is the Hatton syndrome, you don't come back after that.

Hatton came back a better person.....before his knockout to Manny he was just a fat man with fat jokes!!!!!

More poppycock?

Saying Pac has Parkinsons or Alzheimers after fighting JMM may be silly ( I agree ) . Assuming that Pac will come back and mow down the competition is assinine.

Only safe opponents that will generate cash flow are Hatton, Bradley and Cotto.

I'm a student and by no means an authority, but I can tell you that from what I've seen, Pac isn't displaying any symptoms of any kind of neurological degenerative disorders like Parkinson's or Alzheimers

The physicians who released these statements should know better than to make diagnoses based on what they see on TV. Both of these diseases are progressive and take time to fully manifest.

I haven't seen any kind of tremors or Pac showing any kind of memory problems to suggest any kind of evidence for either disease.

Besides if you want to get into the biochemistry of both disorders, they are kind of at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

In Parkinson's, there is a dopamine deficiency and eventually the dopaminergic receptors themselves start to degrade. With the decrease of dopamine, the cholinergic system starts to take over. The imbalance between achetylcholine and dopamine is why these involuntary tremors at rest occur.

In Alzheimers the cholinergic system is effected first, resulting in a decrease in achetylcholine in parts of the brain. That's why anti acetylcholinesterase agents are administered initally.

Well it should have been. I need to be entertained damnit.

[Beanflicker]

Everyone should have a skull like George Chuvalo or Marvin Hagler.

One where you can be a punching bag for guys like Foreman and Frazier and be perfectly fine at 75.

[IamInuit]

This media whore dork never even examined Manny and went on a radio show and never even talked to Manny's camp or physicians.

Junk science

Without an examination it's little more than gossip.

One thing as fans we all have to accept is that the sport we love takes it's toll on the fighters - either suddenly and dramtically or slowly over the years - these guys pay a heavy price for their art and our entertainment.

I agree with you. We have to wait to see what the truth is.
