    Both Tom Sharkey and Carmen Basilio both spring to mind.

    He looked like that when he was in school.
    As Ali said of Liston ,"he's so ugly the tears run down his back"

    Billy Miske.
    Henry Armstrong was pretty marked up around the eyes.
    Carmen Basilio
    Chuck Wepner
    Strangely enough two very elusive boxers were marked up and sported cauliflower ears.
    Maxie Rosenbloom and Jim Driscoll,[ from slipping punches instead of blocking them]

    McVey on the point of elusive boxers being marked up, did Locche have a bit of a messed up nose, or just a big one?

    <-----Eamon Magee, although most of his scars were incurred out of the ring.

    Also Peter Manfredo's nose could be used to warn kids about the importance of a good defence!
