    All the usual suspects have been claimed so i'll go for Dwight muhammad qawi. Not only would you get mauled but that guy could be hard to hit up close

    To my way of thinking, guys like Tyson, Ketchel, Barbados Joe, Foreman, Liston, Marciano, Langford, etc. are exactly the type of guys you would WANT to fight in a phonebooth if you had to because they would guarantee you a quick, painless execution.

    It's guys like Duran, Chavez, Angott, Zivic, Hudkins, etc who would do the real damage. They would just pound your head until it swelled up like a melon and slam your body into hamburger. You'd be mush after they were done with you.

    Absolutely, Qawi and Tyson are my answers. I would add Frazier, but I hit hard enough to MAYBE get lucky with Joe. Against Dwight, I'd be too slow to get anything going, I think, and he'd jack me up, and I doubt Mike would wait for me to try much before jacking me up.

    Big punchers with good head movement and strong jaws are the reason jabs exist and should be used. Getting in tight with guys like that is just the same as begging to get your nose pushed into your brain and the liver turned to pate.

    Frazier. His body punches in the inside would be hell.
    A recent mention would be Brandon Rios

    Burn used his long looping right. Don't think he would be trouble in that respect.

    JCC was a great infighter who could kill you with 6 inches of room to operate.
