I just get the feeling that Duran being the significantly MEANER human being would go all out more to win a fight on the streets. I don't think he'd be above poking eyes, and kicking throats if need be.

But if SRL was fighting for his life and health, don't you think he'd get mean too? I'd favor Duran because of demeanor and background though.

Oh yeah I'm sure he would. I just think Duran would get meaner.

YES!!!!

Duran was a great inside fighter which would help him in a street fight. But who could wrestle, gouge, or kick better, who knows?

I would also guess Duran, but a lot of unanswered questions here.

Other one that got my attention was someone going against Chris Eubank Sr in a street fight. I wouldn't bet against him and I can't stand the guy. Seriously he was very strong, tough, quite capable of being a dirty scumbag and has/had a nasty mentality. And just look at his background he had a seriously rough upbringing and with that voice going to live in NY at age 16 does anyone's seriously think he wasn't tried out by people. Anyone know any stories of anyone ever getting the better of him?

That seems to work in ring too

Here's a question for ya;
If Andre Ward was to be in an opera, which one would it be?

That would be Wagner's " Punch low and grin" or "Lohengrin" for short

GPTM1403 wrote: ↑18 May 2018, 06:26 Some of the suggestions really got my attention. Smith v Witherspoon, realistically the one that didn't go the expected way is the ring fight. I'd expect a motivated, fit Witherspoon to win that 99/100. Street fight? I don't think Smith would be a pushover in a street fight though.

Taylor v JCC, seriously only difference I see is it doesn't have a disputed ending. Taylor may have the background to suggest decent on the streets but Chavez has not just the background but he was tough, dirty, vicious and if anything their fight sort of hinted at where it would have got taken in a street fight.

you should watch mcgregor doing mma sparring with a boxing world title challenger named something hyland, it shows how mcgregor, even though a striker in mma, has grappling and all sorts of mma skills way beyond the level of ppl with only striking background

you could be right about maidana, but not a chance on mcgregor
