which professional boxers (and as in boxers i mean when they fight in the ring ) would you list in your personal top 10 as guys who would be the top 10 best fighters period, in a regular old street fight. for example i beleive tyson would be up there in # 1 spot because of his ear biting and stuff like that. just all around not someone you would want to take on in the street with no rules and whatnot. so list your top 10 picks.
I heard he hit Mitch Green and ran.
Probably so cause Green could have had his boys mess Tyson up pretty good if he wanted. He was one of the inspirations for the movie The Warriors and had tons a ganstas that followed him.
Well I think pure boxers should left out of the equation, for obvious reasons. Guys who are tough and have power, as well as having a certain amount of skill, are the ones who would be the best, pretty simple really.
Tyson would be the one on most peoples minds. Other heavyweights I'd pick would be the likes of Oliver McCall, a younger Ray Mercer, David Tua, Ike Ibeabuchi. Old-time favourites such as Foreman, Dempsey, Marciano etc, would surely make muderous streetfighters too.
On a pound-for-pound basis, there would probably be too many to mention, but the likes of Duran and Hagler would be obvious ones.
Fedor unless Tyson lands a good one on the way in. Fedor is just a walking confidence machine,the guy has so much belief in himself, he just exudes inner strength. Take a chance and watch some of his fights and you'll be impressed I think. I'll never count Tyson out though, one punch can end it with anyone. That kind of power concentrated into a bare fisted punch? Tyson could seriously hurt anyone who ever lived with one blow.
Not at guy I'd want to mess with even if he were 80 (shades of Dempsey vs. those muggers), though to be honest I don't think Mike ever hit a guy with his best power punch in a street fight. I really don't think he's a killer either, I actually think Mike would have trouble living with himself if he knew he ended another's life. The man is very sensitive when you get to the bottom of things. Very troubled, but there's a gentleness there. Fedor would more likely be able to kill someone and live with it guilt free IMO.
Not saying Fedor's evil but I just don't think he'd be the kind of person to dwell on something like that.
Mike once knocked out a garbage man with a shot to the temple when he was like 12 for accidently throwing away his dead pigeon. Very sensitive indeed. Mitch Green was a feared gang leader in NY and Tyson destroyed him in a street fight.
That would be nice if he wasn't 5'8 160 pounds.
I think it's safe to say a street fighter can't really be taken seriously unless they're a heavyweight. That's the supreme weight and that's that.
Big guy wins 10/10 times given the same level of opposition.
I have seen a 5'4 140 or less pound Hawaiian guy take down three guys at least six foot tall after he was stabbed by a screw driver by one of them. He routinely knocked out 6'4 guys with one shot and was a legend where I lived.
what abotu vitali klitsschko? w/ the kickboxing background and all.... nodoby will get near him without being punched/kicked...
but his lanky frame may lead to trouble if somebody gets into a grappling match oin the ground......
Vitali is a good one, but he aint exactly lanky ;)

fedor vs. tyson street fight no gloves. who u got
theirs no agruement here nor any question to who would win...fedor would steam roll thru tyson at any point of his career...Fedor P4P Greatest Fighter Alive ( i said fighter, not boxer.....boxing isnt fighting)
anything could happen in a street fight, but i mean if you put in fedor aganist someone like tyson....its gonna get real ugly real fast for tyson....fedor would clinch tyson and take him down by will and follow up with the worst GnP youll ever witness....boxers have no idea about clinch fighting, let alone they use those huge boxing gloves to block most of their punches ( in a street fight, you dont have them to save you).......i think most boxers would do great in street fights but aganist the likes of the best fighter in the world ( fedor ) or a grappler who knows what hes doing, they would fail horribly
Fedor without a doubt if we're discussing any combat sport participants.
If we're talking boxers I'll go with Jim Jeffries, George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, Curtis Sheppard, and Jack Dempsey.

I like Holyfield as a streetfighter because of toughness.
He could take a bottling or shanking and keep coming forward.
Maybe even a few slugs from a small caliber handgun..
I'm standing by this.
If i saw someone like ricky hattons size as a bouncer at a bar i'd be pretty intimidated. When theirs someone big thats a bouncer you know their there just because of there size but when its someone small their there cause they fuckin know their shit.
i thought of being a bouncer. wonder if i could do it.:confused:
