    Cooper, and for the record, Marciano was not that much of a bleeder imo.

    I think Vito Antifurmo deserves a mention here.

    Vito Antuofermo, I believe he is the only boxer I heard of that actually had an operation on his eyebrow area. In an effort to reduce the bleeding.

    Got to be ol' Enery.

    When Cooper bled, he bled.

    Actually Mustafa Hamsho did not have the reputation as a bleeder, He was just savagly mauled in the one fight with Marvin Hagler. Requiring fifty five stitches to his face. But that was mainly due to his cast iron chin & refusing to go down.

    Possibly Chuck Wepner. The Bayonne Bleeder needed 120 stitches after facing Liston. After the fight Liston was asked if Wepner was the bravest man he ever saw, aparentley Liston replied "no his manager is".

    His face was very easy to cut. Even his nose was easy to split open.
