    Fragile fighters.

    No, I don't mean "fragile" as in they have a weak chin. I mean fighters who constantly get hurt, whether in the ring or during training.

    Do you mean frequently injured fighters?

      If you mean fighters who easily get injured, Gatti was the first name that came to my mind. The guy swells up quite easily in a fight and he dislocated his arm about 3x or so in his career.

      Cotto is another one that comes to mind too. He's being marked up by almost everyone he fought in the ring including Floyd who barely hurts anyone.

      David Haye too. Since 2009, he has injured his toe, his shoulder, his achilles and just last year for the Bellew rematch, he injured his arm while training.

      Floyd is another one, this time it's his fist which has been a problem since his early fighting days. He hurts it in the ring and blames it for not getting the KO, he hurts it while training and usually ices it after training.

          David Haye has a hard time making it through a training camp uninjured. Brook got his face broke twice in a row. Khan and Thurman have almost disappeared.

            Vitali could have been the GOAT hw if it wasn't for his recurring injuries

            his former career as a kickboxer didn't help in that regard

            Vitali's injuries are the only reason Wlad even had the chance to become HW kingpin

              Training methods vary a lot. Getting injured doesn't mean they're fragile.
