Boxers who would be the best street / pub fighters.

[jameswilson]

Sonny Liston.

[Fray Bentos]

he took some liberties with some sharks too

He even punched the shark in the earhole!

and it just fornicating swam off

I’d imagine him being like a Joe Pesci/Tommy devito character. You’d probably have to deal with his fellow Georgian criminal friends as well.

[Boxingcutsman]

Mickey ward Aswell can’t believe I forgot about him, was focusing on the big lads

[high tower 1]

No ones mentioned John fury yet .....

[johnty1888]

Henry Wharton

Ian Cooper (Hartlepool)

[JamesPhilips]

Anyone saying Paul Sykes wouldn’t be good back up in a pub must be tripping. He’s big, can bang, looks insane and if you’re a pretty boy may even Joe Bugner you.

The top heavyweights would def get my vote

Andy Ruiz would be the funniest. Everyone would assume he’s a fat, greedy and unfit teenager until he chins them all

[Grilling Machine]

Can't believe no one has mentioned Mike Tyson yet !

Who would be daft enough to start a fight with him in a pub?

Maybe if he owned it and his taps were broken.

I'd pick different guys depending on the venue and atmosphere. Like in a cramped pub with a low ceiling the big heavies might not be as advantageous. I'd go with someone like Briedis, Ruiz or Parker for those, who are all chilled enough and don't have wind-up faces. (Unless Andy stole someone's pie.)

In the carpark you'd go for size, chin and aggression. I think Joyce'd take your punch and only shove you on your arse! And we've seen what a liability Fury is near a field, so I might take a punt on Helenius.

Galento's gotta be up there if we're including historic fighters. For his rep if not actual ability. And I can't see anyone messing with prime Frazier.

Terry Dunstan struck me as a dangerous fella and I think he did bird for being some sort of enforcer. Danny Mcintosh. I think he would be just really up for it if his back was against the wall.

[wrighty]

Henry Wharton

Ian Cooper (Hartlepool)

Wasnt Henry a nightmare on the cobbles? I've heard it a few places but he seems a nice bloke

[Bercli]

I think anyone who is FIT strong , able to take punches for 10 rnds , and punch there weight is gonna be an handful to the average guy ,, when the average guy comes up against that its a shock ,, especielly bullies who spend there life picking there mark , and get a shock when they finally meet someone who can punch there weight .

I make you right

[Bercli]

It really is about levels is'nt it , fighting sports have weights to stop good little ens , getting hurt by good big ens ,, and profesional fighters at least 9 out of 10 times are always going to have the fitness and knoledge over the guys who are sort of self taught , and even then theres variables . Good days bad days , really just be a nice person , , but smash bullies , i hate them .

Life's hard as it is without going looking for trouble.

[Teddy's Toupee]

Dwight Qawi.

[MCallaghan]

Richard Evatt. Saw him lay out a few doorman on nights out who thought they could intimidate him

[wrighty]

I had that old matchroom dvd which was mainly him just banging people out lol

[MCallaghan]

I had that old matchroom dvd which was mainly him just banging people out lol

yes, he had unnatural power in his punches!

[Coco]

Apparently when Evatt and Blue Boy Gallagher went out on the piss together it was a proper nightmare for the local community!

[dan28uk]

nigel benn back in the day or steve collins , apologies if they've been mentioned before

[steve689]

Josh Warrington. Plenty of scope for that head to be used on the cobbles.

[Terminator666]

i'd think any well trained boxer welterweight and above would be a real problem for the average drunken thug
