From me, you should definitely read 

The Gamer

as far as ones to watch:

One Piece
Hajime no Ippo(Definitely watch all three seasons of this. Best action anime I've seen and it doesn't include powers, just straight out boxing.)
Cardfight Vanguard(all seasons)

I don't watch a ton of anime, mainly because I get sucked into one, and then stop watching animes for a while afterwards
