    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.

    Who’s going to enforce it and under what conditions will said conflict take place? If a heavily inebriated Wlad stormed onto my porch all angry-like looking for a dust up he’d either ends up in the back of a paddy wagon or pumped full of lead.

    Dont joke dude. In few seconds each of them would find the way to knock you out with a single blow even if you uses kicks, elbows, or headbutts.

    It's meant to be a what if scenario where you just have to pick someone to fight on the street

    Of course no boxer is bullet proof

    I choose Mike Tyson. If any one of those is going to punch my skull in, i’d rather it someone as funny as Mike.

    But if we are choosing based on animosity, I would love to kick Tyson Fury square in the nuts the little ducking inactive overweight fake ass ***** !

    I picked Holyfield, as I'd be bigger and have a chance to use my long limbs to injure him in the leg and GTFO

    Sonny Liston. He's the smallest/weakest so I'd go for a leg even though I don't know how and try to grapple until someone broke it up. I pity the souls picking a young Vlad to fight. Watch his early career where he was detonating heads like a prime Tyson. He can punch out of the clinch better than all these fighters as well.

    Tua. I'm fast and can run forever, there's no way he'd catch up to me.

    They would all batter me with ease, I'd look to negotiate. I had plenty of scraps when I was younger and kickboxed for several years but there's levels and I'm not on theirs. I'm pretty quick on my feet though so would probably run for it if negotiations failed

    Dude, Sonny Liston puts you upside down in a trashcan in a streetfight. He would be one of the last I would want to face.

    Anyone of those fighters is going to beat me like a drum, but If i have to choose who is going to detach my head from my torso, then i am saying Lennox Lewis.
    Now if i survived and still had ability of communication, i could always boast i had challenged a ATG, who was the last undisputed world heavyweight champion.

    I'd go with Holyfield as he's the smallest, in 190 pounds and a blue belt in BJJ and while I don't think I'd take prime Holyfield at all I'm gonna go for a double or single leg right away and hope for the best lol

    If I was bigger Lennox Lewis might be a good pick because that man had absolutely no idea what to do when Rahman grabbed him during that ESPN studio brawl.
