Which active boxer is the best street fighter?

[chargerhemi06]

Are you kidding me? A mma trained fighter would level a trained boxer. Boxers are only trained to block punches not kicks. An mma fighter that can kick fast would knock a boxer down then it's game over for a boxer once they are on the ground.

I heard Amir Khan knocked out multiple car jackers.

I wonder what kind of street fights Marcos Maidana got himself into growing up in Argentina.

marcos is from the countryside, province of santa fe. he lives and grew in a little town call margarita, they didn't have power and they usually hunted and fished for food. so i doubt he was into street fighting while growing, he said that boxing came by chance into his life.

only when and if they can take down a seasoned boxer. i'll bet on the boxer anytime in a street fight.

So I guess he got interested in tattoos from the boxing culture in Argentina. Surely he didn't stay in Sante Fe. He boxed in the big cities like Buenos Aires.

I bet he got into plenty of fights though. A poor kid in Argentina gets into a ton of street fights at a very early age. Hell, even for middle class people its far more common than in the developed world.

Probably someone like Kermit Cintron or Mike Alvarado who wrestled aswell

alot of boxers grew up street fighting

pacquiao used to have turf wars lol

95% of all street fights end on the ground

prove it

boxers have better balance then the average person, and the ground is the last place you want to be in a street fight, you don't you if the guy has a knife, or his buddies will run up on you and kick you in the head

who are you talking to? you're not quoting anyone and the thread doesn't have anything to do with mma vs boxing, but anyway

mma fighters do have the advantage, IF they dont get ko'd before or whilst rushing for the tackle

you gotta remember mma fighters really do not like getting hit, alot shy away from punches and get flustered, alot of them are slow as all hell, and alot of them have glass chins aswell as next to no defense to punches

a boxer could ko an mma fighter with some rabbit punches as the guy leans to him, in a street fight both guys are going for the ko from the get-go, so no time to "box", you let your fists fly and dont stop

and unless the mma guy knows his opponent is a boxer, he will have a trade-off first trust me, no one starts with a tackle when things are heated, you punch that prick in the mouth

and most guys aren't going down as easily as fatboy toney from a toe grab, this is the same fat boy who fell trying to use footwork to get away from the jab of samuel peters, he's morbidly obese and way too old

I would suggest it could be Amir Mansour. Explosive puncher, heavyweight, decent handspeed, spent 11 years in prison. Plus he´s from Philly. Good mix for a street fighter. I am pretty sure he can look after himself in most situations.
