    I think the most exciting fighters are the calculating fighters. A guy like JMM is more exciting than any face first brawler imo.

        Barrera started off that way and went back to it periodically. Foreman, obviously. Jack Dempsey had a pretty good run.

              you didn't say "face first" brawler you just said brawler. While johnson does have some head movement and underrated defense, he is all action and never stops coming forward, so yeah he does eat a lot of shots.

              he's an exception though, his chin is made out of some type of steel.

                Gatti fought until 34, Tyson until 40 (?)

                Obviously they weren't as good in their latter years but they still fought on.

                  You're right. Guys like Tyson, Dempsey, Marciano, Trinidad, Hatton and Frazier had short destructive careers before losing those special attributes which made them vicious.
