brawler

brawler (plural brawlers)

1. One who brawls, engages in noisy, unseemly fights.
   • 1604 Shakespeare, Othello, Act 2 Scene 3.

     The world hath noted, and your name is great

     In mouths of wisest censure: whats the matter,

     That you unlace your reputation thus

     And spend your rich opinion for the name

     Of a night-brawler? give me answer to it.

   • 1611

     A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

     Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

     One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

     (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) — 1 Timothy 3:2-5, KJV.
