Boxing / Streetfighting

[tremendous]

I was thinking about this ... some fights would have got a completely different outcome, had it taken place on the streets (at least in my opinion). Do you agree with me here?

For instance:
Chris Byrd vs. David Tua
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter
Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman
Roy Jones Jr. vs. John Ruiz

[Bozo_no no]

Then it wouldn't be boxing now, would it?

streetfighting is more heart than technique!

a good boxer wont really mean they're a good streetfighter!

I bet boxers will hit harder and be harder to hit.

Pacquiao would beat Morales in a street fight!!!!!! I mean fist fight. Pacman must have had millions of em when he was a lil boy. LOL!!!!

Street fighting is not boxing. Also a boxer will have more room to move around. I can see Ali moving around Forman & punching him. I'm going back like 16 or 17 years ago when I was in high school, one of my good friends was small & he beat up many bigger guys on the street, because he knew how to dance around & move away from punches. We had many fight in our school at those days.

We fought like man, we didn't shoot or stab each other like the way kids do in school these days.

you are ****in crazy.

foreman would devastate ali on the streets.

you are ****in crazy.

foreman would devastate ali on the streets.

It all depends where the fight is. If it's in a school yard, Ali will beat the crap out of Foreman, if it's in a small ally then Foreman will win.

Yes and No...

I would say the outcome would have been different for Tua Byrd, but others.... Not sure..

But I would take my favorite boxer from your list:
Yes, Wlad would have been done after the first punch... but take into account that there are no GLOVES in the street fight...
Wlad would have broken Peter's nose from the first Jab... etc...

So I wouldn't jump to any conclusions...
