    David Haye would've KO'd Vlad if all his toes was OK. :nod

    Another stupid thread. Basketball players etc. have another game next week. Boxers fight a few times a year. Come on

    Right, the match would be cancelled or the injured player retires because the match would no longer be competitive.

    Good example. If a tennis player has a slight cramp that affects his backhand, his opponent would continue to hit to his backhand and would most likely loose the match. This is why I question the fine tuning nature of boxing. A lot of instances of serious self inflicted injuries have been over come and this suggest fighters don't need to be that fine tuned to get in the ring.

    I don't think I understand what you're saying at the moment...

    Almost every other sport has a time or points MINIMUM. Boxing does not.

    Huck fought Miranda with a broken jaw for like 10 rounds

    recently Glowacki knocked Huck out while sporting a broken wrist and injured elbow

    You mean Abraham, but it was a very bad break.

    Eddie Chambers dominated Adamek with his injury.
