    Jersey Joe Walcott's another. Must be his craftiness I just couldn't imagine in a good old fashioned punch up. Again I know he definitely could scrap.

    Charlie Zelenoff for obvious reasons.
    A friend of mines dad (who was a bit of a headcase) saw Eubank in a bar once and asked him what he would do if he kissed him,Eubank replied 'i would stand up and punch you in the face'-he's an odd guy,could imagine him being quite unpredictable

      Emile Griffith and Hector Camacho, though I could imagine Macho instigating a street fight.

        Obviously with such limited footage on the old school guys they are harder to pick but i just imagine Peerless Jim Driscoll being to classy for street scraping! Something seriously Regal about that man
        He slapped him in the face at the airport if i remember rightly?

        In fairness,Naz certainly knew how to wind a guy up,Thompson wanted to kill him in the back of a limo back in 97 aswell

          Wladimir said afterwards that showing restraint then was the hardest thing he's ever had to do. If he had cracked Chisora, it would have cost his brother (among others) millions of dollars. And I've never seen WK as animated as he was after the fight. I expect fights between Vitali-Haye and Wladmir-Chisora before the end of this year. The brothers really want them and they'll do what it takes to get them made. Especially WK-Chisora because Vitali will be out of action and Haye is a chickenspit.

                Sugar Ray Leonard and Nikolai Valuev.

                I just can't picture Sugar Ray Leonard being in a streetfight.

                Also I'm fairly sure no-one would ever mess with Valuev.

                Naz slapped him at the airport. Eubank didn't hit him back because he was a midget and it "would have been like hitting a child"

                    I don't know whatever became of it, but I remember Valuev being accused of assaulting a security guard.

                      Kostya Tszyu. I mean I literally cannot imagine this guy ever getting into a scuffle over anything at anytime anywhere. (now someone's going to shame me with tales of his legendary bar brawls in oz)...
