    All had a street fighting background and you can count on them that they won't run.

    Liston as an on-call, "6th man". The Bear was a professional enforcer for the Mob, and once stuffed a St. Louis cop head first into a garbage can.

    Id be looking for top fighters/Boxers/athletes who were also known for street fighting prowess as loads of boxers weren't necessarily street fighting tough.

    the Camden Buzzsaw for example.

    Frankly I'd go MMA for a street fighting squad. ;)

    Fedor
    Vovchanchyn
    Overeem
    Aleksander E
    Wanderlei

    If not I'd take a collection of boxing giants.

    Valuev, Ustinov, Carnera ... that sort of guy.

    Most "street fighters" are tough when they are backed by 10 friends and/or are obviously bigger than their victims. Dustin Nichols as a 6th man to eat the remains or use as a bowling ball to dash them over like skittles, as the situation warrants.

    I don't know what the rules are but if we're talking boxers only:
    Tyson, Foreman and Liston are locks.

    Little Charley Mitchell from the UK was considered the best of the cobble fighters during his heyday.
    Chuck Wiggins was another .
