Can you name the best boxing brawls in the last 10 years? From all out wars that looked like street fights, to brawls that were fought intelligently.
I think any brawl with Carl Froch in it will be a very good one, with high ring IQ. Froch-Pascal, Froch-Kessler I and II and Froch-Groves. These were all hybrid brawls. Marquez-Pacquiao I and 4 was a brawl with high intelligence. II and III were plain, boring boxing matches that I would not rewatch, because the excitement level was just not high enough.
Of course, my favorite trilogy, Vazquez-Marquez takes the cake.
JuanMa Lopez-Mtagwa, Marquez-Diaz I, Pacquiao-Morales I, Ruslan-Bradley/Alvarado, these were all great brawls.
Can you guys keep naming some? Thanks!
Segura - Tyson Marquez
Salido - Juanma I, II
Margarito - Coto I
JMM - Katsidis
Tyson Marquez - Nica Concepcion I, II
Morales - Maidana
JMM - Paquiao IV
Exactly. Hugging, running and pot shotting doesn't take any skill at all. They should make rules banning hugging, running and shot potting because it doesn't let the brawlers show off their superior skill and technique.
I mean, how can you hit a guy that keeps running and hugging and always counters you?
Wlad, Molina and Miguel Vazquez are okay in my book. However, for "The Fanbase"(from now on I will refer to "them" as this), Wlad, Molina and Vazquez don't pass a certain test, which I will not say what it is.
Great fight. I agree, what people don't realize is the high level of intelligence that goes on in brawls. They call them come forward fighters but don't realize it's just high speed boxing, where fighters disregard defense simply for the entertainment of us fans. How can you possibly hate on that? A certain fanbase, we know what fanbase is that, is just so ungrateful. Since these fighters aren't dark enough, they can't ever be seen as being great boxers to this fanbase.

Delvin Rodriguez vs. Powel Wolak was a great fight between two ATG fighters. They should create a belt for action fighters only and open up their own section in the hall of fame.

you had to have been lying when you said you hadn't seen those
don't try so hard man, you're cool on your good days
when you tow the Floyd line too much, you look silly
FWIW, enjoying this "change of heart" :lol1:
next, you need to call out the Dios crowd for financial threads :lol1:
Name your top 10 brawls from 2004-2014.
I am real boxing fan. Real boxing fans appreciate this, and only this...

Berry Picker, Keyser Soze(Garcia's Dad), Thuggery, Junior Gong, are all cool in my book. They feel the same way I do about some Haymon fighters, brawlers, and just boxing all around. There is no issue between them and I.

Good mentions, but I felt Maidana just kicked Broner's ass. Not much of a brawl there. Marg-Cotto was a true brawl.
I would say Lara-Angulo was a bit of a brawl/boxing match hybrid, but again, something seems off about Lara. He's way too boring for my liking. Sorry, I see he's your favorite fighter bro, no disrespect, he's just boring.
It's alright bro. Everyone has their different opinions. I like seeing when boxers box, but I also enjoy watching brawls.
Margarito-cotto 1 maidana-broner

something happen between you and Soze to provoke this?

I would say Williams-Martinez, but one of the two fighters just stands out in a way that makes the fight not qualify as an exciting brawl. I feel the same for Williams-Margarito, I want to say it was exciting but, something is not right with one of the two fighters.
What did you think about Maidana-Ortiz, Maidana-Khan? I think those are worthy mentions of top brawls of the last 10 years. Ortiz-Berto and Guerrero-Berto should be mentions as well. Although I don't like Berto, because he is signed to Darth Vader.
