Mares and Froch are the ultimate throwbacks right now. Hopkins is one obviously, though he's deservedly more careful at his age.

Those guys were not they type of guys to be ducking or dodging anyone, they showed up to fight night in and night out. They don't have to be ATG like the ones I mentioned those were just examples. but Didn't matter if they won or lost they fough whoever the fans or the #1 contenders or the sanctioning bodies wanted. Those are the kind of fighters I always loved to watch. Who in your opinion are todays "throwbacks". I'd have to go with :
Ward
Cotto
Matthyse
Winky Wright
My list:
Cotto
Pacquiao
Froch
Mosley (gets his ass whooped more often than not but still willing to fight)
Gatti
Hatton
Khan (love him or hate him he fights the best)
Oscar
A few domestic names:
Rees
Derry
Murray

He did well to compete in the Super 8 despite being a prospect though, but it has been two years since the Super Six and he really needs to get back in the ring.

No fighter today can be compared to the boxers of the past. Period. Promoters control everything now a days so these so called throwbacks don't exist imo. 98% of boxers say, "I will fight whoever my promoter puts in front of me."
