George Scott knocked out an old Anders Eklund.

I was at Rhodes. All the doormen there (in Faliraki) were only built up on weight training. A brit with some boxing experience punched them all out one night.

Mind you, fighting on the streets is too big a risk of anything bad happening....

Just peace and love for me

Seriously? What is the Swedish beef story?

I dont know how much beef they had.
An old Eklund bullied a bit with George, and got knocked through a window

Maybe not as bad as this:

I saw his fight with Shaun Cogan from ringside. He then went off for a shower and came back and sat in front of me for the rest of the show. Like nothing happened.

Yes, Chris Sanigar and I watched Panayi fight in Stoke and you could see that he would be tasty in the street.

Sanigar himself was a tough boy back in the day.

Tex Woodward has some stories about a young Sanigar.

Chris once got into a brawl right outside the old Boxing News office at Langham Street. Harry Mullan and Tim Mo tried to stop it but Chris, who was heavily outweighed, finished the job without much fuss.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Paul Sykes yet (unless I missed it).

Sykes.....More dangerous without the gloves.

Ernie Shavers....Legend of the Liverpool doors, as a gent and well capable.

Jones Jr all day long.

Didn’t Steve Collins sort some doormen out

I don't think so, he'd be too cool to put his mitts up in a bar. He'd only fight in front of a big crowd.

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 .

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

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

Exactly, you just know he would fight dirty too, probably gouge your eyes out

Iran Barkley. I'm guessing he would come tinned up too.

I agree but I doubt he was much of a street fighter. Just a big bloke with a reputation.

I think he would be too much for the vast majority of people who fancy themselves... same as your mate, Mark Bennett - who's going to call him out to the back of the car park?

I think he would’ve flattened most people, he was a big lump who knew how to fight and was fit with it, plus he was mental
