    Name some fights where a boxer came in or suffered an injury yet WORKED THROUGH the pain because that is what BOXERS DO.

    For example, Ali fought with a broken Jaw.

    Danny Williams KO'ed a fella with a dislocated arm (granted, the guy he KO'ed was no Wlad, but still)

    Lamon Brewster suffered a detached retina in his WBO title war with Sergei Lyakhovich, went 12

    Evander Holyfield had a torn rotator cuff against Chris Byrd, went 12

    Ray Mercer suffered a broken jaw against Bert Cooper, went the distance and won

    Lujan against Margarito. The ear only came off in the 10th, but it had been well on its way in the previous few rounds (cut, swollen & badly cauliflowered). Gruesome stuff.

    ...and he was disappointed they stopped it.

    He was still slipping & trading bombs with Tony when the referee started to call time out and wave for the doctor.

    I recall that his mannerisms were so hysterical during that interview.

    A female boxer fighting on her period, is more of a disadvatage than poor little David's toe. David is a disgrace to the sport. Please retire!!

    A broken toe is probably worse than all the injuries named, as it restricts movement and therefore everything you do in the ring.
    Have you ever tried fighting with gout, for instance?
