Ricky Hatton wears glasses?

[The Great Shark]

Well I thought contacts, but then the risk of one or both popping out came to mind. Ive always wanted to box myself but when I started wearing glasses my dreams kinda just felt short. Im nearsighted, meaning I can see like foot away from my face but anything more is blurry as ****.

contacts are a nuisance when sparring, especially when they throw a jab to your face and the glove/fist smacks your eyelids and your contacts move slightly out of postion making it blurry, then you have to blink like crazy and put it back into central place.....

I'm nearsighted and can't see for **** without my contacts......I still box though.

The great fighters don't need to see to know when a punch is coming. If I was a boxer, I would box with my eyes shut and knock a guy out and make the world be like what the **** just happened. That guy who had his eyes completely shut just ko'd that guy.... Its more then about seeing, its about feeling it inside you... Not penis

Last I heard, you're supposed to avoid contact sports once you have RK / laser eye surgery. Has something changed radically in the last couple of years?

EDIT: Nope.

"A job or hobby for which the possible side effects of RK would be a problem. Glare is sometimes a side effect of the surgery, which would be a problem for a truck driver, for example. People who participate in activities such as contact sports that carry a high risk of eye or head injury may not be good candidates for RK, because a blow to the eye in someone who has had RK very rarely may cause the tiny incisions to rupture."
