This is why it is ludicrous to suggest that the one bare knuckle punch Chisora took did more damage to him then the punches he's received in the ring throughout his career
Its not ludicrous at all. You ask a neurosurgion if he thinks its ludicrous that getting punched by the biggest puncher in the world with no cushioning would not affect something in your head. Iv got a good idea what he tell you.

As I said, wraps were introduced to protect the hands. Gloves were then put on top to protect the opponent. Look it up

Chisoras ability to take a punch before hand was more down to his head movement which seems to have suffered with the weight loss. Even Don Charles has said that.
