Best brawlers of the last 40 years

[redrooster]

First of course has to be Marvelous Marvin Hagler and for a time Dwight Braxton. I loved his intensity during the first round of the Eddie Davis fight. Following hagler must be Tony Ayala jr and Aaron Pryor, two of 1982's best along with Animal Fletcher. I would have loved to seen Animal vs. undefeated Alex Ramos but Alex couldnt quite make it on account of his glass jaw. We must also never forget the prime of Mike Tyson who was #1 superstar from 1986-1989.

In addition to the aforementioned:
Foreman
Cuevas
Sibbo
Hamsho
Monzon
Roldan
Julian Jackson
Benn
Bowe

Yes, Senor Ayala especially stands out to me........

I often ponder how Tony would've done against later MW's such as Benn, Nunn, McClellan, Toney, Kalambay, etc. Any insights would be helpful.

I nominate Bobby Chacon.

Can't forgot Smokin Joe.

I dont consider Hagler to be a brawler at all ,for me ,he was a technician,brawlers, imo are guys like Hamsho and Roldan ,not that skilled but aggressive ,rugged and game.

Diego Corrales may be mentioned??

I really wouldn't call Benn, Foreman, Monzon or Bowe Brawlers? Monzon always tried to box, and the rest liked to try and pick their shots for a KO rather than wade in like a true brawler. Hamsho and Roldan are classic brawlers however. I think Cuevas was more of a pure puncher than a brawler also.

For pure brawling I would say:

Duran
Frazier
Autofurmo (i know I spelled that wrong)
LaMotta
Graziano
Hatton
Gatti
This list could go on for ever?

i wouldnt call Duran a brawler,he could do it but he was much more than that.like Hagler they both could brawl but they could also box with the best of them.
