Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Evander Holyfield's eyes look like they are practically closed
Winky Wright. Him being a boxer is more obvious than any fighter i can think of. Winky 1998 and Winky 2011 look like two totally different people.
Re: Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Peter Manfredo Jr. I'm betting he wasn't a looker to begin with but that nose is awful
Chuck Wepner? Vinnie Pazienza? Carmen Basilio? Gene Fullmer? Antonio Margarito? Maybe Tex Cobb? Chuvalo?
The deal is, just like with Manfredo these guys weren't good looking to begin with
Re: Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Billy Collins Jr quickly comes to mind even though his opponent had illegal wraps.. but poor kid lost his career in just that fight.. /: Some even say his life. .. As said above me Peter Manfredo... and Arturo Gatti
Re: Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Henry Cooper, Jake Lamotta, Chuck Wepener, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito. It's mainly guys who use their face and head to block punches and some are due to illegal wraps like billy collins jr.

Aaron Pryor and of Course Vito Antefermo who was champ just before Hagler. They were always temepted to have him donate a couple of pints of blood every time he fought. The corner men would have made some mad money.

Pazienza. Think he's had so much work done to reshape his face and nose he IS Micky Rourke!
Troy Dorsey. Manfredo looks like a Gargoyle.

Margarito's eye got screwed
Re: Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Jerry Quarry, he was actually handsome before his face began to resemble a catchers mitt.
Doug Dewitt, he even talked about getting plastic surgery after boxing to restore/improve his looks.
Both were very tough white guys who were prone to cuts and swelling.

Shannon Briggs had fractures under both eyes after his fight with V. Klitchko
Re: Fighters whose faces have taken the biggest toll during their careers
Tie between Chuck Wepner and Tex Cobb. "Perfect storms" for face damage:
- White bleeders
- Tough chins
- No defense
- Loved to brawl

LOL good call on Doug Dewitt, it was funny to see him at the end of his career, white boy with a nose like Bill Cosby
