Who are the 10 "throwback fighters" of last 5-8 years?

[$0uthpaw]

When I think of the ideal Throwback fighters I think of Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marvin HAgler. 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

Zab Judah !

Hopkins
Mayweather
Golovkin
Toney
Marquez bros.
Ward
Guerrero
Mares
Bradley
Rigondeaux
M. Garcia

Being a throwback fighter is mainly about skills. Its someone who has both good basic fundamentals and advanced boxing skills. Who has a wellrounded game, a good boxing brain and can adapt to any style in front of him as well as digg down when he has to.

Heart alone doesnt make someone a throwback though, who they fight carries little weight too since that isnt up to them. Fighters at this level dont avoid anyone, if that was in their personality they wouldnt be able to reach this level in the first place. Its all on the promoters and managers when fights dont get made.

A throwback is someone who honed thier craft in a way modern fighters generally dont do anymore. Calling someone like khan a throwback is a joke, he is the steteotypical new breed fighter whos got poor skills and no brains but lives off his athletic talent.

Abner mares is a good one so are arturo gatti, manny pacquiao and Carl froch

Tony and Mosley.

I was gonna say JMM but I forgot

He priced himself out of the Oscar fight he priced himself out of the Taylor rematch, he priced himself out of the Mayweather fight he priced himself out of the Margarito fight.

These were all absolutely reasonable and good deals that he chose to walk away from.

You have to be an absolute moron to price yourself out of a fight with Oscar especially.

Some of these would have been career high pay days for him and he walked away from them.

That isn't the traits of a throwback fighter.

[Tay Roc]

Morales
Barrera
Mares
Cotto
Pacquiao
Matthysse
GGG
Ward before he became a big name/hurt
Rios
Froch

[Kingjames6Flee]

Tyson fury
Adrien broner
Danny garcia
Carl froch.

Lol at some one saying ward. Ward is a dirty fighter who holds and headbuttss his way to victories. No respect for a guy who cheats. He's lucky LUCIAN bute lost to froch otherwise that ass would be grass and chin would be glassed.

you quoted a guy saying jmm,,, and im pretty sure your talking about winky,,,
your dead on about winky,,,,

but to be fair to the other guy, he was saying jmm, unless he edited his post

[Russian Crushin]

LOL @ "Avoided Bute"

He did avoid him. Ward said he wasnt deserving enough when butes hype was at its highest, so they chose to sacrifice Froch to Bute instead and we know what happened there.
