Ali did have a weakness for women, but generally avoided the bar and club scenes. Once he acquired an entourage you couldn't get anywhere near him if you were menacing.

Originally posted by nomadman View PostKostya Tszyu. I mean I literally cannot imagine this guy ever getting into a scuffle over anything at anytime anywhere. (now someone's going to shame me with tales of his legendary bar brawls in oz)...I've read Tszyu's book and he said the only fight he had outside of the ring was against a Doctor who disrespected him and his Wife, he only hit him a few times he dropped left him with a busted up face then left the guy Lol it's funny of all the people to get into a fight with a Dr.Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostZoo was a classy cat but i can defo see him getting into some drunken bar room brawls down under like a scene from Crocodile Dundee or something!
God i hope someone has some stories!!!
Tszyu is a very classy respectful guy I knew someone who lived near him he said he was nice

Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostWladimir said afterwards that showing restraint then was the hardest thing he's ever had to do. If he had cracked Chisora, it would have cost his brother (among others) millions of dollars. And I've never seen WK as animated as he was after the fight. I expect fights between Vitali-Haye and Wladmir-Chisora before the end of this year. The brothers really want them and they'll do what it takes to get them made. Especially WK-Chisora because Vitali will be out of action and Haye is a chickenspit.I agree about Ward, Vitali and Wladimir all class and respectful guysOriginally posted by The Surgeon View PostFantastic call on Andre Ward, he is so controlled and smart i couldnt see it. Very Calm and level headed man, his religious side also hints that he wouldnt be getting into street fightsLast edited by Someone88; 02-28-2012, 10:03 AM.

I agreeOriginally posted by The Surgeon View PostFloyd could scrap id think, he had a fight with 50cent once...
Pacman would hammer him in a street fight though
Martinez I agree about, also Tua and Pacquiao have fought on the streets but they needed to it was different they are nice guysOriginally posted by New England View Postmanny was a Philippine street kid. i'm sure
he scrapped out of necessity in his youth. i'm sure there are very few fighter who never scrapped in the streets or fought as youth. i can only think of very few. i know martinez said in an interview that he was a passive kid and never fought.
on pacquiao: like many rich/famous and powerful people i'm sure he would be very unlikely to engage in a fight. however, if you somehow got a shot on him (say a sucker punch,) i have no doubt he would smash you back with a combination before he even thought about it.
back in the day (circa 1923,) chisora and haye would have finished their beef outside of a british pub
I read a story about him getting called out to fight by some drunk guy all Marciano said was let's just have a drink together the guy got embarrassed so yep Marciano was that niceOriginally posted by F l i c k e r View PostMarciano.
Just seemed like too nice of a guy.

It would take an incredibly brave and/or ****** guy to start a street fight with Lewis,however relaxed he may seem out of the ringOriginally posted by #1Assassin View Postlewis was a notorious street fighter growing up, in fact thats why his mom sent him to canada. but he kept it up there too, until he started boxing.
rahman ofcourse was the same way but in a worse way. still he only took lewis down cuz he wasnt expecting it and he couldnt do anything to him anyways. i think lewis.. scratch that.. i KNOW lewis could handle himself in a streetfight. maybe not on the same level as mike tyson, sonny liston, george foreman etc but not far behind.
