    I don't think anybody did, lol,,,

    I was thinking it was just a straight up question of which was harder to fight with,,,

    I bet the rib by a land side, not that a busted up hand wouldn't be hard, oh no.

    Broken rib...

    A broken hand you won't feel until after the fight.

    a broken spine is right up there.

    not just a stinger either, I mean a real old school broken spine.

    that's hard to get up from.

    then again spinal shots are no longer legal these days are they??

    freaking candy asses.

    You can get through a fight and still have a good shot of winning with a broken hand, and broken rib however is a much different story. I have no idea how he was able to fight on with a broken rib, it hurts bad just to take a deep breath with a busted rib, let alone still throwing punches and taking more shots to the body.

    My opinion is an uneducated guess. I would say Rib. I have never broken a rib or hand while boxing, but I would of thought it would be harder to move and defend with a broken rib. With a broken hand, I think you could atleast move just as good while maybe using your other hand. Both would be very hard to box though.

    Untrue....So untrue.
    You break it, you know it.
    BTW breathing hurts with bruised ribs alone

    You need to breathe to be able to do anything

    Have never had a broken rib. However, hand yes. Was able to continue with it. Have broken a rib or two and the guys were not able to continue. These were not sissies and they could take a lot of pain. The difficulty in breathing was the worse they said. Probably should stop if it ever happens because the possibility of a rib puncturing a lung or something worse is there.
