Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.

Post by high tower 1 »

Who have you got ?

They’ll need heavy hands , aggression and a strong chin.

I’ve got Froch at number one. You may be faster and more skilful but he’s got a concrete head and will eventually get you.

Chisora would be good. Game as hell.
Marty rogan looks like he’d be great in a pub fight. I’d say he can hold his Guinness too and still row.

Ones who can keep distance and hit hard. Cause everything in close is 50/50 in street fights. There you can scratch eyes, hit on the balls and thus deal with many styles and skills.

Not a boxer, but a boxing man through and through who is want by my side: Adam Smith.

People I wouldn’t want: Ricky Hatton got Kod over an argument involving a fruity.

Gary Stretch hasn’t a good record on the cobbles either

I’d like Dominic Ingle too

Only if you’re in a pub populated by dwarves. Size means a lot in a fight. A non punching bantamweight like McCullough really wouldn’t be much use. The average tough guy in a pub would throw him around like a rag doll.

Basically you’d want a heavyweight, who’s game, tough with a good chin and can punch. Babic is a good choice. David Haye would actually be a good one - athletic, hits hard fast and has some jiu jitsu I believe. He would just chin people and we’ve seen him in action, taking care of Chisora and Adam Booth in style

I reckon you're overestimating most pub tough guys.

As for the Heavyweights, they should probably not be counted as most of them would probably kill someone in pub/street and would be more wary of engaging.

The lighter guys would be more likely to throw hands.

The average pub tough guy would be gassed and defenceless after 30 seconds. Wayne McCullagh had a block head so would weather the windmilling then take over.

I was a pub manager for years, saw loads of fights. It was always really clear who'd had a lot of practice in a setting outside of the bar, and it certainly wasn't always the big lads.
