Boxing, Nerves, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Ali wasnt with Him, All the others had Psychological problems, its pretty well known.

Nope Cus worked Ali
Patterson was too small,so was Tyson,but they still ended up champions

Nobody is saying anything to the contrary... but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of them had psychological problems.

he totally sucks right?

Scrap never said that... settle yourself down...

[AdamGB]

Also Cus merely adviced Ali after his exile... Ali was already a schooled boxer with an obviously established pro career and style... completely different to literally raising some of his fighters such as Tyson or even being part of his camp.

he had patterson and Tyson from what? the age of 14 or something.

It's not to say that Cus messed their heads up but it is to say that he was attracted to working with troubled young delinquents etc.

A lot of top athletes have ocd. Steven Gerrard, David Beckham to name but a few.

My nephew has ocd and is also a very good rugby player.

Good luck.

Thanks, Rela. I appreciate your mentioning that. Thanks to everybody else who took time to answer also. I was kind fo worried I'd get laughed out of the forum for even bringing it up!

Naw dude, not this forum. We all have things we deal with. Would be interested if you kept us up to date on how things work out. The more people add, the more we learn from each other.
