I'll get the ball rolling with Alexis Arguello and Joe Louis, too much professionalism and class.

Even a trained boxer would have to be crazy to get into a street fight. I mean, in the ring you have a mouthpiece, hand wraps and gloves and none of that on the street. One punch connects and a guy could break his hand or lose a tooth. Plus you have one minutes breaks after a 3 minute round.
Someone was telling me some quote from Ali where he was asked when he was active if someone challenged him on the street, what would he do and he said he's run, probably because of the reasons I just mentioned. I think Ali said because anyone that wants to fight on the streets has to be crazy and he wouldn't want to mess with that or something. Is this true or someone's shoddy memory relaying an untrue story to me?
