Deaf boxers?

[FloydMoneyMay]

It probably gives you a slight edge, I can imagine a deaf boxer being a lot more focused than his opponent, He has no distractions at all ... Would be like being in your own little matrix.

Except you would pay more attention to the middle fingers in the crowd.

There was a totally deaf boxer who fought on ESPN a few Wednesday's ago. I can't remember his name though. He won the fight and was a decent talent.

nah a deaf boxer will get disqualified after 1 round is over because he will not hear the ring bell and keep punching is opponnet....

Hes got a good excuse though if he does

The ref would be aware of his disability and step in when the bell rings.

I fought a deaf boxer back in 1989....a VERY tough guy!! I always wondered, many did, if his lack of hearing somehow contributed to him being so tough. I stopped him on cuts in 6 rounds...but he took a lot of punches and complained when the ref stopped it. I was really coming on and letting loose but he wanted more.

On another note, I some him fight a kid about one month earlier in NY and the guy actually went into a coma the same night
