    Floyd Mayweather, the greatest of this era, with very brittle hands.

    Holman Williams and Joe Calzaghe also changed up their styles because of bad hands, and both had superb careers.

    I was looking through old Olympics the other day and got reminded of David Reid who got gold at Atlanta, retired due to eye problems after getting a beating off Felix Trinidad.

    i was thinking this. also micheal watson. All this talk about brittle hands nonsense. These guys careers stopped overnight and their lives were changed forever.

    I really wish people would stop talking about floyd, vitali, lewis , tyson. The sports sooooooooo much bigger than these guys
