List of fighters where trading with them is suicidal

Trinidad without a doubt.

 

Ruslan
Kovalev
GGG
Beterbiev
Gonzalez
Bronze Bomber.

 

Aye. Bradley traded an absurd amount, sometimes out on his feet, with Provodnikov. Bradley won.

Pacquiao was outfought every time by Marquez, who traded with him every round of each of their fights. He blows by pressure fighters. But he isn't someone who particularly dominates an exchange.

Matthysse took the big L to Garcia in a fight where he got the worse of most of the exchanges.

...I guess it goes to show almost no fighter fits the criteria to the t.

 

Marquez never tried to trade with Pacquiao. In the first fight he did and was knocked down three times in the first round.

From that point on he boxed.

 

Bradley did trade with Provodnikov, but it was still suicidal (Bradley is crazy though so that's not a surprise), every time he did it he almost got KTFO and took the worst of the exchanges by far.

Thankfully for him he had a cheen to let him survive them and inbetween outboxed Provodnikov to a win.

 

Yeah. I suppose it was suicidal in that it probably took weeks/months off his life.

 

more like years.

 

Prov
Kovalev
GGG
Hagler

 

Nigel benn
naseem hamed

two people who rarely came off worse in a trade off, benn was even more lethal when he was hurt

 

Let's narrow this down by excluding fighters who lost to someone who traded with them:

Marciano
Foreman
Hagler

I can't think of anyone else, unless we count active guys who might lose a brawl in the future for all we know:

Danny Garcia
Golovkin
Kovalev
Wilder

 

Nigel Benn, absolute beast of a fighter, swept aside the very durable Barkley when he traded with Benn and even outfought McClellan forcing him to box. .

James Toney, while not the big puncher like so many others mentioned he was a master of inside fighting and could counter anyone to death if they stood in front of him. Even Jirov couldn't overwhelm him and Toney used that agression against him. Holyfield as well found himself being broken down on the inside with Toney, despite the early success he had.
