Look at someone like Jermain Taylor, he had a brain injury after bad back to back KO losses, looked awful and was hurt again in his comeback, and was actually still sanctioned to fight for a world title not long afterwards.
Nah. I remember at the time, I think the guy who sparred him was a novice LHW and the guy who’s gym it was were there. They knew the Blackwell story, they should never have let it happen. I’ll see if I can find out some more facts.
