I don’t know what he died of but 67 professional bouts is a lot of blows to the head.

I remember when "Smokin'" Joe Frazier got locked up in Philly for DUI simply because he had slurred speech when he was pulled over. He beat the rap because he was punch drunk and that caused the slurring. These guys were tough, but that's a hard way to make a living. There are moral issues with such a sport that does that to its participants.
