Well, maybe. There is a condition that is called "punch drunk" in lay terms and Dementia pugilistica in medical terms. Dissecting that name we get dementia = loss of mental power and pugilistica = from fighting. Pugilism is boxing/fighting. The repeated impacts to the head over the long term actually damage the tissue of the brain. The onset is usually 16 years after the start of the boxing career. It is thought that neurons are lost, scar tissue builds and plaques (like MS) can form in the brain. This can lead to Parkinsonian or Altzheimer's type symptoms. Wikipedia has a good article on the topic that you can get to by clicking the link to the right. Hope this helps!
