    M. Tyson. He seemed to have a bully mentality. Like most bullies, if you stand up to them or they know you'll fight back hard, they tend to leave you alone. Of course, that is a big risk. Mike might go double crazy and whoop you even worse.

    Lennox Lewis. He gets KO'd by underdogs.

    He's not on the list but I'm pretty sure I could take Tommy Burns.

    Great guy. Stabbed his first wife after kidnapping her and his kids (after they’d separated) and then physically abused his second wife.

    I’d pick Wlad. He seems to be the most intelligent and least primitive minded of the group. I’d be able to deescalate the situation before things get too out of hand.

    Not talking on the street. But. I'm around LHW and I'd rather face any current HW than step into a ring with Beterbiev

    The question is forced to fight, not have a conversation with. Wlad breaks every bone in your face.

    Tyson Fury, I'd just ask him if him or any of his family had any DVDs or Makita tools for sale. All thoughts of fighting would be long gone.

    Going against the grain and saying Lewis. If I am going to get smashed in a street fight it might as well be against my hero.
