And in this conversation you can then bring up styles of fighters....Hatton, a face first brawling pressure fighter.
This also reminds me of Arturo Gatti and his issues in retirement prior to his murder/suicide (I personally think he was murdered, but I don't doubt he had CTE and that caused some issues for him which were exacerbated by a gold digging stripper whore wife and alcohol and possibly drugs).
Mickey Ward has spoken about his troubles after his career in boxing as well.
Oddly enough I've not hear much about LaMatta or when Carmen Basilio was alive, those guys were warriors too....not sure how they lasted so long without CTE or Parkinson's
