How exactly do fighters get ruined after wars?

Doesn't the human body repair itself? Just take some time off, eat good food, relax, and you'll be 100 percent, right?

This topic is very interesting to me.

How come boxers can't let their body heal and everything's fine?

A lot of people say the first Margarito fight permanently took something out of Cotto. Something he will never get back.

a lot of it is mental.

Mental

Punch resistance

Slowed reflexes, and pull the trigger, which also kinda ties in with mental...

Read about concussions. After the first time your concussed, they chances keep increasing to get a concussion again, basically your punch resistance goes. Think of guys who never been KOd before who got KOd then all of a sudden they get KOd all the time (Roy Jones, Jermaine Taylor, etc).

I tell you what go get into a bad car wreck and see if you are ever the same again.....Punches move the brain around and cause trauma,ko's leave bruises on the brain that do not repair.

Joe Rogan said,

"Your card can only get its hole punched so many times. There's only so much room on your card to get your hole punched."

You can't keep getting knocked out and come back like it's nothing, I guess. Not sustainable.

Another example is Fernando Vargas.

The central nervous system breaks down, and is unable to send and receive the signals that tells your body how to function.

people think its just your head that taes the beating, not true at all, it's literally your entire body and what it's capable of.

Castillo and Corralles are a perfect example of that, one incredible fight vs esch other st there peek, and both of them just physically spiraled downhill.

Do you think Bernard Hopkins ruined Felix Trinidad, in the way you described?

Personally I think Hopkins took something from Trinidad more psychologically than physiically.
