Who were fighters who fought while being seriously hurt?

"People think he’s a shot fighter because of the Mosley fight, but his weight was a problem for that entire camp. He put on a lot of weight, not just water pounds but muscle, after he beat Cotto. He had to chop 20 pounds before he left Mexico to begin his camp for Mosley, and then he dropped another 30 in camp. He kept dropping weight and dropping weight until he had nothing.

“To make matters worse he had back problems during that camp. It was so bad he would take days off from training, but then he would gain back whatever weight he lost the previous week. He was 16 pounds over (the welterweight limit) one week before the fight, and the closer we got to the weight, the sicker he got from dehydration. Four or five days out from the fight it was like he had the flu. He was shrinking before our eyes.”

- Javier Capetillo on Margarito Vs. Mosley.

LOLLLL

Paulie fought Cotto with a broken jaw. I believe he broke it early in the fight. This is when Cotto was murderous; Paulie went 12 with no power to hold Cotto off. Tough stuff

yeah, paulie is a clown but the dude has a big heart

Chris Eubank vs Carl Thompson II.

I am sure Eubank had a slightly eye injury going into the fight, then of course? It was exacerbated during the fight.

Eubank already had a bruise eye, and then Thompson worsened the injury. Looked like a really bad eye, but Eubank was still fighting on.

Chris Eubank, James Toney and Carl Froch are the most durable middle-weights of all-time. I think Eubank Senior, may have even been a level above Froch 'Due to how he fought Carl Thompson, a powerful Cruiser weight'.

I wouldn't wish that on nobody man. What happened?

Too brave and stubborn for his own good, took lots of hard hits to the head from Chris. Even Eubank sr told his son to go to the body because Blackwell was in serious danger and Blackwell's corner wasn't going to stop it.

Some boxers fight like they've been hurt and trying to survive round or just make it to final bell. Overly defensive boxers come to mind. Of course if you've been hurt or stunned, you do whatever it takes like hug, run and just see out round. But don't fight like that as default mode.

I dunno if you can count this but Kelly Pavlik claimed to have had the flu when he was at the top of his game fighting Bernard Hopkins when Hopkins took him to school. The reason I'm leery about his flu claim is I talked to his bartender, chance meeting, and he said that Kelly was crazy, he lied and told half truths all the time if he could get away with it.

Sergio Martinez vs Cotto, I believe Martinez had two bum knees
Victor Ortiz vs Josesito Lopez, Ortiz had a broken jaw for a few rounds
Jean Pascal vs Aleksy Kuziemski, iirc he hurt his bicep throwing a hook and ended up hooking the ropes by accident
Morales vs Maidana, iirc Morales eye closed early in the fight but he continued. Morales lost the fight but won the crowd over.

Thats a lot of good examples. What about baby Joe Messi getting concussed vs jirov. Dudes career was over, bleeding on the brain. No more Mike fight! All because if a darn rabbit punch from Vasily!

Deontay wilder, fighting with pins in his hand make him bionic, or bio mech whatever you want to call it. Simply put his hand couldn't handle the pressure, psis that his punch was pumping out aka too much power.

And then there was Micky ward Gatti part 2, Arturo kd'd him with a punch (may he rest in peace) that "woke up" Micky ward. Don't most punches put you to sleep lol?

I believe Ali suffered a broken jaw in one of his fights with Ken Norton.

That proved to be somewhat exaggerated,Tommy Morrison did though against Joe Hipp .

Wilder in the second Fury fight ,he had severe knee cramps from the long ring walk with his heavy costume . But he percivered and gave it his all despite it’s mimicking of very bad jet lag on him .

Reminds me of a Barry McGuigan story. Can't remember what fight he told this story in or who he was fighting but the gist is that he got hit real hard by a shot that it put him in lala land and all he could think about was the red apple on his school teacher's desk (due to the red glove that punched him). He got hit with another punch that woke him back up.
