Who has their senses, surprisingly, after a long career?

George Chuvalo is probably the best case for the thread, he's a pretty sharp guy and was in with so many great HW punchers. Mind you, he's a guy who was able to take the punches and rarely if ever was seriously hurt or concussed in the ring, that's got to be a huge part of it. Same deal with guys like Chavez Sr, or Hopkins, these are guys who NEVER got badly hurt. Obviously some are lucky to recover well or not lose their senses, I haven't heard much of Michael Moorer or Kevin Kelley but if they sound good, they are two of them If David Tua punched me once I would probably be pronounced dead within minutes.

George Chuvalo

First guy that came to mind. Given the punishment he took physically inside the ring and that mentally which he took outside the ring, I'm surprised he does not communicate using cave drawings.

Archie Moore was another. 28 years over 200 fights.

And if you did survive, you wouldn't be able to pronounce "dead in minutes".
