No no, it was the type of cut medication they used to use that caused the Parkinsons.
Nowadays, cutmen use Adrenaline and Avatene, but in the old days, they used lead-based Monsels Solution, which is now BANNED.
It was unquestionably the best stuff for stopping a cut, but it was dangerous because first, they had to literally use a tweezers and a magnet to pick out the little met@llic bits out of the cut after the fight, but the second more dire problem was the lead eventually migrated to the brain and collected via the circulatory system eventually causing Parkinsons and incontinence too. I mean, the stuff was after all, placed right into the cut right into the blood circulatory system, a clear unfettered blood passageway and conduit directly to the brain.
Thank God the Monsels Solution was finally banned.
Yep, I expect you'll see a huge drop-off in the Parkinsons among current fighters compared to older generations.
Cursed Monsels Devil-brew....

EDIT: Similar principle of how cooking in Aluminum pots/pans eventually cause Alzheimers because of the build-up of Aluminum in the brain matter.

is this really true. i guess to validate this you got to look at boxers in the modern era where monsel wasn't used and see if they have parkinsons

Ali was only cut once.....against Bob Foster. A light cut by one of the eyebrows......Doubt they used Monsels on it, but I could be wrong.

A cop I work with is in the beginning stages of Parkinsons......He was involved in a very bad car wreck where his head took a considerable amount of trauma.....His Dr. is adament that this blow/trauma is what caused the disease......So one would think that Yes.....Head trauma can cause Parkinsons...........So who knows ?

Im sure being blasted in the head for a living can only benefit your long-term health. Toughen you up. Like, prevent cancer and stuff.
Hell, the Quarry family knew they were onto a good thing. So good that they planned to toughen themselves up by sparring without headgear. Genius move, cos the entire family became known for their toughness and how much it helped their post-boxing lives.

How much higher is the incidences of Parkinsons in Boxers compared to the general population?
Is it elevated an insane amount compared to normal people. Like Ali and Roach have it, but I can't think of many others.
Chuvalo was hit in the head more times than anyone can count and hes completely normal, so it probably isn't a complete correlation between getting hit and Parkinsons. Maybe suseptability plus boxing, but not boxing alone. (unless you are stupid about it tho and spar right after a concusion or something)?
