I’ll never get sick of watching Brashear lose tbh.

He turned into a huggy bear after getting iced so many times against guys who can fight.

 

[Bench Clearer]

Brash won nearly every fight from the fall of 1996 right up until Belak KO'd him in 09. He had a habit of making himself look like a complete disgrace from time to time though, like his turtling acts against Domi and Parker, taking a clear dive against McGrattan, and his final fight against Kocur posted above. It's clear that even though Kocur was over the hill and in his final season, Brash was still terrified of taking that last punch from him.

Also, even though he's easily top 10 all time (and I'd argue top 5), Brash had the dumbest looking pre-fight routine in the history of the game. Always looked like he was break dancing or something.

Always hated him for the dive against McGrattan, and then ducking McGrattan for Neil.

Agree he's top 10 even though I hate him.

Top 10 hugger for sure. Definitely not a top 10 fighter imo.

There should be an asterisk there. Between ~96 and Belak he won or tied every fight with the reason being when he was up against better fighters he hugged for a tie.

Good fighter but I doubt I'd have him in my top-10.

Have to disagree hobnobs. He beat Probert four times, wiped his butt with McSorley six times, ditto seven times with Orr, and basically ended Sandy McCarthy's career. His fight card is stacked. Only name missing from it that I can think of is Tony Twist.

Outside of Orr all those wins came against guys well past their prime.

Brashear got the better of his series against nearly all of his contemporaries, including their prime years. You can hate the guy all you want, but you can't refute how good he was at his job. He wasn't a "hugger" either. He routinely outlanded his opponents by wide margins. A hugger is someone like Zack Stortini or Torrie Robertson.

He absolutely was a hugger. He outlanded opponents by throwing his nuggy punches while hugging them
