I like Jim Jeffries to cover my back. He was solid muscle and had a granite jaw, and when he was young in the 1890's he was fast and durable. Tex Cobb wouldn't be a bad choice, either, back when he still had his iron chin. I got a feeling Sonny Liston would scare some folks off, he could just stand there glowering. But if they wanted to fight, well, not many would want to.
Those three in tow, you could bar hop with wiseass impunity.

Gotta be Tyson or even Roy Jones (if the money was right).
fornicate having Oliver McCall (might get a bit weepy) or Andrew Golota (would walk away) and Roberto Duran (might say "no mas")

TYSON!!!
THe man is an animal who would beat a man to death if he thought he would not get caught.
WHo the hell would fight Tyson in a street fight? You gotta be crazy. If they could not pull him off you, who knows how far he would go?

David Tua, no one would knock him out fist to fist...
The lighter option would be Nas, speed and power, b00m! there gone.

Berrara didn't expose Nas for you? A guy like Johnny Tapia would kick Hamed's arse in a street fight. I wince when I think what Salvador Sanchez would do to him, or Azumah Nelson, or Henry Armstrong or even Gabby Canizales. I think even Rosendo Alvarez would give him all he could handle, and if the fight went on long enough, maybe even make him cry.

Probably any fighter other than Chris Byrd because all that smiling stuff of his in an alley would be damn creepy!

Hamed! THe guy is 5'3" and walks around in the 130's or may be 140's!
Street fight is not boxing, you can take the guy down and use your weight advantage. It would be hard as hell to take down a guy as muscular and squat as Tyson. But Hamed would not be too hard to clinch and wrestle to the ground where things are even (or in the bigger man's favor). Or even shoot in for the legs and take him down.
Who you would like to have in a street fight

Al really did get in a bar fight and he wound up dead on the street curb. He tried to stop some armed robbers and got shot. He did die tough, gotta give him that.

Now that I think about it(even though he's not an all time great or an any time great) I would love for T-REX Sanders to have my back. He would knock out 5 people just with looks alone. Damn that guy is scary lookin.

good batch of weed?
Nige Benn, ex army so been in the trenches, loyalty valued and boy when he lost his rag could he go!
Yep. Gotta go with Nige. One hard mutha and not the kind of guy you wanna wind up. He's a true tough guy and you'd want him watching your back. He'd kick ass!!

Can we have a promoter? I'd have allegedly. That way the fight would never happen, with Frank blaming financial reasons, and then he'd line me up against somebody I could easily beat.
