Funny topic. Anyone mentioned Carl Froch? He had strong punch and iron chin, perfect for a street fight! In an interview i remember that he said he fought in the streets.

pretty much any dude who has trained for a few months at a real gym will be a beast on the streets compared to your average dude

any boxer with other grappling/martial arts experience will be extra bad too

Back in the 1960's, Boxing Illustrated said Johnny Featherman was reputed to be boxing's toughest streetfighter.
Gil Clancy called Emile Griffith the toughest streetfighter he eve saw.

Would be a tough one. Canelo has a fat head your beak your fists on. A endforced draw and handshake ordered by the fair play men I’d say !
