Fighters who cut/swelled easy?

Good list here, Sean O'Grady bled often, and Hagler though not a bleeder suffered quite a few cuts.
Of all those named Vito Antuofermo really was the first to enter my mind. It got so bad in his career, he even had surgery to remove scar tissue and even shave his bones above his eyes to save his career. This was was right before his rematch with Hagler and boom as soon as the fight started he started to bleed. Even in his next fight against an opponent named Richard Beranek on ESPN, the fight had to be stopped because of cuts. I felt sorry for him for having that curse. He was a likable fighter.Last edited by TBear; 12-02-2010, 01:47 AM.

The Bayonne Bleeder Chuck Wepner has to top anybody's list:
The other guy who comes to mind was LHW Marvin Johnson. A gutsy left hander who gave it 100% every night.

Wepner, Gatti and Cotto, I should have thought of, some of the few guys mentioned I've actually watched. I'd add Kevil Kelley too. He swelled so much that a couple of times later in his career, his corner would use two endswells (is that how you spell it?) over his eyes before the fight even started and at times in between rounds.
