Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
ike Ibeabuchi (big, strong, can punch, tough, fit with good punch output and a out and out head case)
Tommy Morrison (heard he was a handful on the street/bars)
Ray Mercer
David Tua
All would be a very hard nights work for anyone with power, chin, toughness & fitness they all had

Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
For the big boys, Vitali. Tua would also be good.
Smaller lads, Canelo must be a shout.
Heavy handed, good chins, can fight on the inside.

tbh virtually any pro should look like a monster vs rando pub dude around their size

Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
Going back a hundred years or more I’m guessing there would have been a lot of fighters brought up/ started out as bare knuckle street fighters
Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
Haye (prime) is a good call … he would be able to connect first due to his great speed and accuracy and movement. In a street fight the first decent punch ends things really .
Whyte / Vitali / Skelton due to size and kickboxing / MMA background.
Groves also from kickboxing background which makes him a bit more tasty than most and has decent size and a big enough puncher to clean most people’s chin
Carl Thompson (prime ) would have been a nightmare … big & strong , heavy hands , knew how to use his legs and elbows … and has an absolute warrior mentality ….

Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
Harrison got leathered a couple of times off hard cûnts. He started on the wrong guys when off his nut. Got knocked clean out by a head but in one of them. I was a bit shocked to hear it at the time but was confirmed to me. His rep outside the ring was as a bully tbh not a hard man.peter barlow wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 15:39 Agree on Del Boy and Martin Rogan, few others:
Scott Harrison
Margarito
Kovalev
He once appeared in my car wash in the back seat of a car full of absolute fannies out his face on that M-Cat gear. I was sickened.

Yeah it doesn’t surprise me about Haye at all. Not many guys would lamp Chisora outside the ring without thinking twice.

Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
That is a good point. There's a video that shows some decent stills and the video of the scuffle and he cracks Chisora and gives him some elbows on the floor and then Don Charles comes at him and Haye gives him a few smacks as well and then everyone backs off and resorts to just shouting rather than actually going for Haye.Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑31 Aug 2021, 17:42 Yeah it doesn’t surprise me about Haye at all.

Dillian Whyte for ages seemed to bully people at the press conferences but there's at least two occasions during the Chisora fights where you see him backing off slightly.

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

Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
I saw his fight with Shaun Cogan from ringside. He then went off for a shower and came back and sat in front of me for the rest of the show. Like nothing happened.
Re: Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.
Jeff Fenech knocked out a big doorman.
George Scott knocked out an old Anders Eklund.
I was at Rhodes. All the doormen there (in Faliraki) were only built up on weight training. A brit with some boxing experience punched them all out one night.
Mind you, fighting on the streets is too big a risk of anything bad happening....
Just peace and love for me
