    Boxers that wear glasses

    Ive noticed Bernard Hopkins and Margarito wearing glasses outside the ring and I was wondering how he gets licensed to fight? Are there any rules against a boxing wearing contact lenses in a fight at professional level?

    Didn't they have a timeout in one of Oscar's fights so a trainer could put a new contact in his eye?

    I know i've seen it happen before not sure which fighter it was though (It was ODLH iirc)

      I wear glasses but spar without anything. Does make me wonder if I should go out and get contacts. Doesn't getting punched with contacts in give risk of injuring your eyes?

            I wear contacts and I spar with them. There is no problem sparring with them, worst thing that can happen is they come out.

                  or getting hit and having your eye swell shut with them still inside.
