I learned to my surprise that a lot of fighters aren't really hardmen, especially in recent years, though there were certainly different periods in boxing and locations where they were definate tough guys and hardmen.

point being a street type fight, UFC type thing or no holds/no rules on the cobbles, you had better be a hardman... the best boxers for this are boxers that 'were' actually street fighters & tough guys too, then you get fitness, skill and _ucken street fighting lunacy thrown together in one package - thats your best bareknuckle fighters!
