It involves throwing educated punches with precision,defending and countering wild inaccurate punches and movement..if you can box the fight won't last longer then 15 seconds...the average person doesnt even know how to throw a good punch and just throws a bunch of arm punches till they get close and then try to grab you....

Why do people act like Boxing is not effective in a street fight?

Not a clue. . . Most street fights begin with somebody clocking the other off guard anyway. . . So if you know how to punch, most likely you're going to render him unconscious, or make him so woozy to where he won't be able to do anything.
But if you square up with somebody, and your only background is boxing, I think you'd be at a severe disadvantage.

If I'm in a street fight I don't want to square up with my boxing stance. I want to go all out and brawl. I like getting dirty.

In boxing, they don't teach you how to grab somebody's arm punching you and break it. . .
I just think the best fighting art for street fighting would be some kind of martial arts. . Maybe even a self-defense technique like krav maga cause the guy mgith have a weapon. . Boxing doesn't teach you to disarm somebody.
Really, it'd be best if you were were well-rounded, boxing, martial arts, and had a grappling, or ground game like judo, jiu jitsu, or wrestling. . .
Just too much **** can happen in a street fight. You'd want to have something else to fall back on aside from your hands. . .
Just my opinion. . But the chances that you'll encounter somebody skilled enough in those areas in a street fight are rare. So for the most part, if you've got boxing skills, you'll win.
