boxers are not street fighters

He has though, Pele Reid.

ok my bad, but I mean't as a pro in his boxing career

an 6f5 250lb guy with fighting experience would beat floyd and manny


an 6f10 280lb guy with fighting experience would beat vitali

This is code for "Vitali is white and has a PHD, there is no way he can be good in a street fight"

The vast majority of guys that size have nothing anywhere close to the speed, power, and balance of Vitali Klitschko. Do you have any idea how hard the Klitschkos punch? Do you have any idea how devastating that would be bare knuckle?

You didn't get the context. He may well would with his frame and everything.

I was talking about any real life situation, fair or unfair. Lewis couldn't handle three guys attacking him, the same way Mike Tyson could. Even though he beats Tyson 9 out of 10 times.

When you need a referee for support during your fights, and someone like MIke could care less, you know you wouldn't handle yourself to well outside the ring.

Tbh Lewis in a street fight knowing that the other guys are normal peoplr and he has no gloves would probably go for the ko straight up. If you know you can hurt anyone in the wod and they can't hurt you, you're gonna knock them out.

Tyson maybe better suited to it because he is fast and crazy, but don't think that a calm boxer in the ring will try and use ring genralship on the street.

being a great boxer does not = to being a great STREET fighter..... just cause 1 might be a pro, elite boxer does not mean he could beat some of the best street fighters roaming america or in the whole world...

to be honest, an average man of size.... street fighter or not... could beat floyd in a fight, could beat pac in a fight


hell im willing to bet a rough and tough street fighter, an accomplished one that has been in many fights can probably beat



in a street fight

Wow are you being serious? An average man vs a prize fighter, someone whose job it is to fight?

You must be ******ed, I pray for you.

[Suckmedry]

Most normal guys won't even fight straight up. Depends what kind of neighbourhood we are talking about but many guys won't even have a go.

Look, boxing isn't streetfighting, correct. But a good boxer stands a far, far better chance to hold his own over a normal guy.

I have seen boxers get dropped on the street, it can happen, but every boxer I know who is also known as a streetfighter is a respected guy who is known to hold his own pretty well. Learning how to punch, stand, defend and being in shape is always a big plus on the street.

are you ******ed?
if you box for a living, not only will you knock the **** outta any man with a single punch with the high possibility of leaving him a vegetable or dead

you'll be much stronger, faster and more accustumed to seeing and blocking/avoiding and countering punches

a trained athlete 9 times outta 10 would **** up any street fighter

i hope you lot aren't expecting the boxers to fight in their boxing styles, in a street fight you fight with rage, in boxing(a SPORT) you fight with intelligence and you dont leave the ring(win or lose) pissed at your opponent as you would some punk in the street whom you want to murder, you're opponent in boxing is another athlete and you cant hate on a man just doing his job as you would on some random tough guy irritating the **** outta you

[Alibata]

Do you know Vitali has never been KO, TKO and is the only hw champion in boxing that also are world champion in kickboxing and hav judo background.
The man is a born fighter, and has one of the best chin in boxing today. And most boxers has well beyond the average chin.

I have seen a guy with boxing back ground(good amateur background) thats always in fights, he's 5.8 and 150 punds beat the **** out of huge bouncers, in fact several at one time. They dont stand a chance even when they get a hold of him he hit thems so fast they dont wtf happen

Gatti beat the crap out a bouncer 2x his size
