Do fighters facial features become disfigured over time from all the punches?

[IAmABoxingGuru]

It's not normal for the human face/bones to take thousands of punches. Do you think over the course of a fighter's career/life their facial features change?

[YGriffith]

Yes they do.

[Marchegiano]

Not if they're defensive. That's why Floyd just looks old and Manny looks like a gremlin.

[War Room]

Some yes, some no.

Ever head of bonesmashing? Look at Marciano before 17th June 1954 and then after.

Was going to post Ray. Outside of age he looks he same. Hagler looked the same also. Not sure how Mikey Rouke turned into Frankenstein. He seems to be the poster child for disfigurement.

I think Mickey's grotesqueness came from plastic surgeries.

Watch 'Raising Arizona'. Tex Cobb sounds like and looks like his nose was broken so many times it no longer functions as a nose should. Then again, it may not have been the boxing...

I'd say yes....but MMA fighters moreso.
