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.

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

No ones mentioned John fury yet .....

Henry Wharton

Ian Cooper (Hartlepool)

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

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.

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

I make you right

coneye wrote: ↑01 Sep 2021, 06:41 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.

Dwight Qawi.

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

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

yes, he had unnatural power in his punches!

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

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

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

Jeff fennech

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