Actually, bare knuckle fighting is safer, in terms of head trauma, than boxing with gloves and hand wraps. Don't believe me? Go and risk breaking your hand on some asshole's skull with each blow and get back to me on how eager you are to flail away at his head, versus using precise jab/cross combinations to the face while focusing most attention on body shots, which is what most decent bare knuckle fighters do.
I'd say that modern-era boxers who willfully absorb blow after blow to the head have nothing to fear in comparison with their bare-knuckle counterparts, if we are talking about courage or toughness. Sense and a decent respect for one's health, on the other hand . . .
