Rj, It has now been 11 months since my accident and over a year since I last boxed. The Doctors have stated that i have arthritis in my neck, which was inflamed by the accident, and they say, 3 different doctors, I should never fight again because right now I have the neck of a 45 year old by lookin at my MRI. I am only 27 and boxing is my life. I own and run my own boxing gym and train amateur fighters as well as professional fighters. I get clients because of my status as a professional boxer and I have fought on HBO, ESPN2, Showtime and many more fights on national tv and world tv in canada and germany . Now my question is I have went through so much and I am in pain as we speak, what is my future loss wages worth and how do I prove what I could have made 5 years or 10 years down the road? This accident has forced me to cut my career considerably short and a young age. I have tried everythign medically, pills, physical therapy, cervical epiderals and more physical therapy and nothing stops the pain. The doctors say it will just continue to get worse the older I get. Now, being a dumb athlete, I want to fight a couple more times, when I am able to start training again, which who knows if i can ever again, but i am still optimistic even though its been over a year since i last fought or trained. Can I still go after them for future lost wages and for cutting my career short even if I still try and fight, which doesnt look likely but I want to try. Also, as i stated in my previous questions to you, i did have to file bankruptcy becaue boxing was my full time job and i have not had a boxing pay check in over a year. I work part time as a sports journalist but only part time because i cant sit in a chair longer then 2 hours wiithough aching and having to stretch and walk around every 30 minutes after that.
