Pacquiao, Martinez, Marquez, Cotto, Donaire i wouldn't call those guys brawlers they are all technically skilled boxers, they don't have the best defense but they're far from being brawlers.

Maidana had a great gameplan but not enough effect came in( 165>147) to rough up May but faded half way through the fight would've been better at 150

Face first brawlers, you are ignorant to boxing and how one goes to learning to box in the first place.
