If You Ran a Club, What Boxer Would You Hire as a Bouncer?

[Redd Foxx]

Miller seems like he'd be a natural.

Ive been around the bouncing game ,Tyson Fury is the correct answer here . You need someone who can communicate , can look intimidating and can actually fight and been around fighting outside a ring when boxing rules dont apply . Most of the time a bar doesnt even need a good fighter bc a sizable bouncer deflects alot of trouble away , at 6'9 you would have minimal problems in your bar .

P.S Wlad Klitchko has never been in ONE street fight before and is too by the book mentality . Thats the guy you dont want at the door bc if a incident would break out you want someone who doesnt have to think about possibly hurting someone !

I'm a Wlad fan, but he definitely is too by the book in his thinking. I think that's why Fury beat him honestly.

I have to say though, that Vitali looks like he could crush anybody. And I don't know if he's been in a steet fight or not but I don't see him hesitating if a situation breaks out.

By the same token, I could see Fury hanging in bars more than any of them. It would be his natural landscape. And on craziness, he's easily number one. Great answer.

Vitali for sure. Scary guy when he goes into that mode, but is reasonable and can talk the fools to exit if needed. And if the knuckleheads still wont go and it goes into trading punches, well, my money is on Vitali.

Haha.

Agreed...

I voted for AJ. His size and build would be enough to scare most people into behaving.

I'd want to the scariest basterd in the business.

To me, that's Vitali.

What say you?

David Tua. Big guy. Takes a punch. Will kill mofos if he lands clean.

Depends on the club, tbh

For a dance club, like another poster said, you need to consider far more than just boxing skill.

You've got to have a guy who looks intimidating enough (to quell a lot of faux bravery from reckless guys, yet still be approachable for the women coming along), can talk through some stuff, can read the room/area, and throw hands in the street if need be.

From the list given, I'd likely go with Shannon Briggs (6'4", 260lbs, funny as ****, can have a cogent and intelligent conversation, and can fight).

If I go with my afrobeat/dancehall club, it'd basically be either Briggs or Lateef Kayode (6'2, 220lbs, spiteful dude in the ring, a bit funny too)

I considered putting him in.

What a beast.

You really want a guy who knows the bar scene and drinks himself so he knows how to deal with certain situations . If you had Vitali and Fury in proper attire and jacket i guarantee you Fury would chase away trouble more than Vitali on height and girth .

I'll also tell you why more fights would breakout with Vitali as your door man , he has broken english and would not get his point across as easy resulting in resorting to something physical before Fury would have to do .

See when you know about what entails in a bar /club you know what the better choice is going to be . Not to mention a friendly bouncer who can relate to most crowds brings more patrons back . Its more about the establishment not kicking azz ,thats secondary bc it shouldn't come to that often unless you work at The Double Douche (Road House ) !

I don't see Eric Esch -Butterbean- on that list...
