Can a really great street fighter beat a good pro-boxer?

It doesn't even have to be a street fight. If Floyd were serious and went to MMA he'd get hospitalized!

 

A boxer doesn't need to stick to boxing in a street fight. Also, it isn't all that easy to grab a good boxer in a street fight.

A good example of a street fighter turned boxer is Jack Dempsey.

 

Alot Of Boxers Start Out And Are Discovered Street Fighting But To Answer Your Ques Anything Is Possible.
I Think If Bj Penn Thinks He Can Fight A Stand Up Fight With Floyd Hes Going To Be Looking Up At The Lights.

 

Iv heard of boxer getting shot dead in street fights , along with anyone else that thinks , street fights are to be taken lightly .

Fight in the streets , you take the chance of losing your life , keep fighting in the ring.

 

someone with good wrestling experience can take a boxer down and neutralize the boxing superiority. The boxer might get in one or two shots first to end it, but if he misses or if the other guy doesn't drop, a good wrestler can swing in low and put the boxer on his ass. After that it's all over for the boxer. Just like MMA.

 

Ernie Shavers once had a street fighht in Liverpool, some cocky **** started laying into Ernie who went down. But Ernie got up and cracked him once and knocked the lad straight out.
I didn't see this by the way, I've been told my a few people who have heard it from a guy, who heard it from guy... you get the point.

 

I am sure its possible that a decent to good boxer could lose in a street fight to a good streetfighter, especially if it were to go to the ground. But I can't imagine too many street fighters that would be able to beat up some of the very big strong heavyweight say a Foreman, Tua, or Prime Tyson. Hell I don't think many tough guys on the streets could even take a down a 50 year old Foreman.

 

Well around here i have noticed that most fights end up on the ground.
Growing up in Mexico as a kid and when i visit i was taught to never go to the ground. When we were little and we would fight the older kids would stand us back up and tell us not to do that.
It still holds true today if you go to mexico and you fight someone and one of you takes it to the ground and theres a crowd around they will stand you up. I have never seen a fight end at the ground there and most of my cousins were in gangs even they respect that.
All you gotta say is that you want "un tiro limpio" which translates to a a clean fight and no one will jump in and it stops as soon as someone says stop.
I still think its amazing that these guys (gangs) who go out and kill people at times will respect that if you say it to them.

 

anyone that can overcome the fear of getting punched in the face...bare knuckles no less.....can learn what it takes to succeed in boxing. i've trained plenty of street kids the sweet science. being tough is just one of the ingredients needed to succeed in boxing.

 

well I"ve had a few amature fights and when I get back into shape I plan on continueing.

HAveing said that I used to street fight ALOT when I was younger, and knowing HOW to throw punches would help if the guy stood and traded but no one does..actualy I think mui-thai is probably the most usefull in a street fight (elbows and knees)

 

I've seen that.

He hits one guy.

Then his mates drop someone, so brave Zab runs in and kicks him whilst he's down, what a man.

 

I always wanted to ask, is your avatar photoshopped?
Tito's and Oscar's hands look so small, they look shrunken.:huh

 

You have to understand, most boxers were great streetfighters, that's why they box.

I've heard rumors that Zab Judah knocked Buster Rhymes out with one punch.
