    ali should have retired in '79, after that he just took a lot of unnecessary punishment like in the fight with trevor berbick.

    james toney is probably the worst now, I heard him talk a few days ago on tv and I couldn't understand a word he said. all those clubbing punches sam peter landed on the back of toney's head permanently damaged his brain stem

      Roy Jones is getting there as well. Helps he didn't eat a lot of punches in his prime. It's like he needed to fight the last 10 years past his prime just so he could get the full wear and tear of boxing lol

      He should of retired in 04.

When delicate brain structure is destroyed it cannot be rejuvenated. Lost memories cannot be returned, because the tenuous structure that held them in the mirror of consciousness is destroyed, gone. What is nowhere cannot be retrieved.

        Some functions in nature are one-way functions. It is easy to shatter a light bulb on the floor, impossible to put it back together as it was. One-way function. Brain structure is a one-way function. Voice box? Their problem is brain functioning. Give them the same device that Stephen Hawking has, that is as clear as their speech is ever going to get.

        Now cauliflower ears--those we can fix to look like a teenager's.
        Nope, not kidding. We're living in an era where scientists are working on growing new organs in petri dishes. So, if that research can continue to advance, why not? Decades ago, people said you could never operate on the heart and then someone did the first bypass surgery. Then, in the '60s, the first heart transplant. They're now using other illnesses that have vaccines to kill cancer cells, so what's to say speech couldn't improve. That's why we have speech therapy. Hell, that guy that does the Dilbert cartoons couldn't talk for years until he got surgery to fix his voice. Quadriplegics now have robotic arms that move by being surgically implanted into the brain, so don't tell me it isn't possible. We just probably won't see it in our lifetimes because pharmaceutical companies make more money from treatments rather than cures and with some illnesses that kill people, if all cured would cause the world population to grow at an even more astronomical rate than it already has.

        I usually put light bulbs back together with cement glue or I get a new one, like doctors sometimes get new organs for people. Those devices are a good idea, but they need to change the sound of them to make the voice sound less artificial.
