    GGG, Kovalev, Provodnikov, Matthysse, Lemieux, Wilder, Canelo, Kirkland... who are the guys, big names and up and comers, who bring FIGHT to boxing?

    Hmm, ok, but he was involved in a massacre or two--on the giving end. And he had a one punch knock out hit.

    I guess... he could be lured into a fight, but his main objective was to box and be cute.

    There have been plenty of exceptions, but I usually expect and get a fight more to my liking when two Mexicans get in the ring.
    I love a good slugfest, but my favorite type fighter is the boxer/puncher. That sudden fight ending hook, straight right, or beautiful combo is hard to beat.
    Two fighters who bring for the whole fight are hard to beat though.

    That's a good point too, sometimes it'll be a great action fight with guys throwing a lot of punches, but when they are both feather fisted guys and lack that one-punch fight ending power, a lot of the intrigue is taken out of it.

    That's why Castillo/Corrales was so great, both guys with HUGE power going toe to toe.

    I can think of a fight or two:Paul Spadafora vs. Leonaed Dorin.
    Neither fighter had pop, bit they gave it all they had.

    He lost me in the Trout fight really. He had a poor mans Mayweather 'style' knowing that was coming up and he just played along and thought he was most impressive as a boxer. The kid needs a mean streak and seems to still be looking for identity.
