He once said his body was never the same after going 19 rounds with Mike Tyson. Just makes me think of something Andre Ward said... that there are no "moral victories" in boxing. The fans love you for "being a warrior" and taking unnecessary punishment. It's entertaining. But it does nothing for you in the long run, neither for your career nor your health. Respect to him to fighting on with a broken jaw, but respect doesn't win a title or bring you back from the state that the great Gerald McClellan is in.

And think it’s kinda disgusting when announcers whine for way too long when there is an possible early stoppage

This is a dude who used to speak so sharply and curtly with intent behind every single word he used...now he slurs his words and talks so slow and trails off at times....is that him being stupid high on weed and shrooms? or is he that punch drunk?
its alarming, to me anyway. thats why i was dead set against that bullshit with RJJ

He was still very sharp post-career. On his show, he's usually smoking before or even during the show. You can tell he's just in another galaxy sometimes. Show could easily be called Smoke Champs.
