Well then..

self explanitory. the guy who trains will win. he actually knows how to fight.

A street fighter can be out of shape. A decent boxer can't.

Anything could happen but il back the guy that spends hours in the gym everyday and lives, sleeps and shits fighting.

Probably street fighter in the street and the boxer in the ring.

Yea probably, a boxer could win a street fight with 1 KO punch though :)

it depends on the guys fighting.

A good amateur boxer could be able to take on more then one street fighter

like when tyson was an amateur i'm sure he could have taken more then 3 guys down on the streets

You can't take more than guys on street fight if they at least know how to fight or how to throw a punch, trust me i tried just taking 2...

i beg to differ

I personally can't take one more then two but iMo a well trained good boxer (no offense) could most likely

THIS IS JUST IMO

The way i got into boxin was through street fightin, i got bullied alot as a kid for bein very tanned and a bit heavy and there was always 4 or more people there, and 1day my dad seen me cryin after gettin beat up and flipped a lid n told me if i dont start to fight bac he would be very mad n make me move school so next day went in, 4 of them came up to me n i took down the mouth n punched him untill i got pulled off by his dad (this was after school where most fights happen) i was 8 or 9 this kid was 10 or 11, anyway, i went to school n got a bit of a rep bcos this guy had now got a rep n everyone new i kicked his ass, so more of his gang wanted to fight to see if they could beat mean, non came close, so i got asked to go to thaiboxin by someone in ma class,went then started boxin 2 years later n i can say, that me as a street fighter would kick me as a boxers ass in a street fight, id say ne street fighter would win against a boxer, cos ive fought both in both situations n ive never lost apart from when there was a number advantage...street fighter wins in a street, u cant dance n hit n move in a street, boxer wins in boxing ring,

People that like to fight in the street alot will tell you that boxing would not help in that situation, thats because they have not stepped up to one who could fight yet.

The whole thing to fighting is being able to stay calm enough to properly asess a situation. It takes years of practice to gain the skills and find the comfort, but you will if you stick it through.

When I first started boxing, I used to get picked on alot by bigger kids, they loved to make fun of my boxing team jacket. After 2 years I was not fully confident in my skill level yet. After 4 years and fighting on palace cards as an amatuer, they now believed that I had the skill in a street fight. Nobody messed with me and I messed with nobody in return.

There is no honor in a street fight. But sometimes you have no choice. When or if the situation ever arises in my life where I must fight, I am fully confident that the guy wont know what dropped him.

Rockin' :boxing:

Depends. What do you mean by 'street fighter' - as in someone who no training whatsoever? how much experience does he have? Does he know basic grappling? 99% of street fights end up in a classic pankration lock, and normally guys just push against each other until one hits a wall.

If the street fighter is real experienced, he'll know how to take advantage of that position. the boxer will throw a jab,but an experienced thug can handle a few shots.

Basically, it all depends on the exact situation and the exact people. Question is too vague.

most dudes in the street that fight have no tact or anything. its swing for the fences mentality until he burns out... I take a boxer becaue boxers have to stay conditioned in order to get into fight shape

What is a street fighter? and it depends on the amateur boxer, is he a runner like ali or a brawler like a tyson or foreman. tyson is one example of a boxer who wud whoop ass on the streets and Ali is an example of a boxer who wudnt do aswell even though he cud whoop alot of average guys.

a street fighter who trains for street fights owns the streets... but if a boxer fights, say, a guy who often gets into fights but doesnt train.. the boxer wins.

We'll im on about just a normal street thug, who just goes on streets looking for fights, not as in they train for it etc.

Oh. I was thinking of the street fighter that has been in and out of prison for assaults, works out all the time, and has nothing to lose.

Just a normal wannabe thug vs an amateur boxer on the street; could go either way. I've seen both people win before.

it also depends alot on the amateur boxer, pitty patty punchers in the amateurs wont do shit on the streets

i beg to differ

Well I used to street fight before I became an amateur boxer, I don't about now, but either way I wouldn't think about fighting on the streets with little thugs wannabes...

why is that

a tough street thug isn't an easy fight, i know a guy who learned a lot about fighting from all the years he spent in street gangs, trained boxers have to really give 100% to beat this guy... also street fighting is a lot different than boxing, there's more grabbing and wrestling, it's more like a john ruiz fight

it depends who can keep the clearest head.

a good amatuer boxer... a guy that is conditioned, throws punches day in day out in a correct manner, who has a grasp on the concept of accuracy, range, timing which apply in a fight ANYWHERE... punching for him is second nature. If this streetfighter is like most streetfighters, and only uses his hands he will have his arse handed to him by the boxer.

Think about Ali, he doesn't have that tough guy image nor is he a slugger but he would beat street thugs. In a streetfight the winner will usually be the guy that lands cleanly first. Who lands first will be determined by speed, timing, and how well they can judge and control the range...... Ali was fast, with impeccable timing, accuracy and comprehension of range, he would be able to literally stand infront of these thugs flat-footed and blitz them as soon as they opened up. Even a boxer not renowned for trading fiercely will beat most street-fighters.

Look at UFC which is essentially anything goes, especially the earlier years. Tank Abbot is the epitome of a brawler, he was experienced, tough and would go out trying to take guys heads off with haymakers. Tank was defeated via striking, not by other unskilled brawlers but by fighters like Vitor Belfort and Pedro Rizzo. Fighters with boxing ability mediocre at best relative to a decent amateur boxer. These men were able to stand infront of Tank and pick him to pieces with hard straight punches when he opened up. They were more accurate, faster, had better timing etc... the notion that boxing doesn't work out of the ring is ****en ridiculous.

Good post. All agreed.

well said heckler. i get the shits when people claim boxing ability does not equate to real fighting at all. how can learning to take punches avoid punches throw punches and land punches not be n e kind of advantage.
