boxers with bad eyesight?

Larry Holmes wore contact lenses when he fought Holyfield. Harry Greb (and probably countless others fought while blind in one eye).

I didnt know that about Holmes. Did he get medical clearance before fighting? This seems dangerous.

It's a shame what happened to Pryor.

From what I know, he actually had a fight coming up when it was discovered that he had cataracts in his eyes, the sanctioning bodies wouldn't give him a license after that and he retired. But I understand your point.

That was a long time ago so you could be right. All I know for sure is that Pryor had let his life and career go to hell because of his coke habit. Seeing a 31 y/o future hall of famer getting stopped by a nobody like Bobby Joe Young on a minor cable network was depressing. It wasn't until I just looked it up that I learned that Pryor still fought a few times after that on minor league circuits.

I would say Tito Tinidad. He must have had glaucoma or something cause he just could not see that jab coming from Winky all night. He was like a human Pez dispenser.

I went through the same thing. If you want to box afterwards, I read you shouldnt do Laser surgery, but an older alternative method.

really? how does boxing effect a person with laser surgery?
