We know B-Hop has always strived to fight the best competition and still does to this day, while of course Khan has famously tried to fight two of the best p4p fighters of this generation - Floyd and Manny - for many years, only to have them avoid him at every turn.
We see boxers like Brook avoiding many fighters such as Alexander, Chaves, Bradley, Thurman and Rios, even pulling out of fights routinely after getting last-minute nerves. Brook is like the openly-gay boxer Orlando Cruz in that respect as Cruz went on a streak of avoiding fighters after he lost to Ponce De Leon in 2010. It's fair to say that boxers like Brook and Cruz are cut from the same cloth while boxers like Hopkins and Khan are in a separate legendary league of their own.
But besides B-Hop and Khan, are there any other throwback greats left in the sport or they the last remaining throwbacks that the sport will ever witness?
