    I just am sure after spending many a days with them,playing soccer, bulldozing them, wrestling around, knowing their personality, knowing my roughly 200 street fights

    I will also say that I know bigger boxers that terrify me

    No Kimbo would terrify me to but not as much as some of the human monsters I have known

    I was 34-4 with 30 kos as an amateur boxer. In the street 70-0 all by KO. A boxer is far more mentally and physically prepared to fight then any street fighter. Think of the countless rounds of sparring which develope timing, accuracy, and nerve. A street fighter might get lucky and land a killer ko sucker unch, but even that is a stretch.
    I have had wrestlers shoot on me, but I wrestled i high school. A quick sprawl and I am right where I wanna be... standing on my feet. I was taken to the ground one time and bit the guy. He immediately released me. Once standing... lights out. I'm not bragging because street fight victories are really no accomplishment. Usually its a wanna be tough guy who selectively picks his battles. Or a dumb drunk. All I know is that I never had a bit of trouble with with a "streetfighter"
    Here is a youtube link. One of Kimbo Slices up and coming badasses. His name is Ray. He is fighting a boxer named George. Ray outwieghs Gorge by 30-40 pound. Ray gets served. They fought twice, and both times Geourge whooped his ass.

    Check out Darrell Wilson beating the **** out of a cop on youtube. The cop shot him in the stomach and cracked him across his forehead with the butt of his gun but it didnt stop Darrell he kept comming!

    Yes very interesting and I have posted that video before but Kimbo would stomp out Ray a lot quicker than George (an MMA guy) did. Plus most street fighters are not selective as you say but get called out as I would hope your 70 called you out

    I agree that usually they would "in the ring" but even then not always. I want to see more experiments between boxers and MMA. Only then will we all have an idea since MMA is the closet thing to street fighting and many an MMA guy were street fighters no matter how innocent you think they may look.

    Well if your a 250lb man then thats obviously possible whereby you just pick each one up and throw them around when they get near. However if you are a WW also and these 3 guys are ready to take you on, explain to me how your gonna handle 3 at the same time? Use great footwork and outbox all 3 of them meanwhile KO'n all of them with 1 punch each?

    A streetfighter could beat a boxer by grabbing them, slamming them on the floor and playing it dirty. However good you are of a grappler though, or how dirty you play it you would still need atleast 5seconds to take out someone completely so they cant bother you. 5 seconds is plenty enough time for the other 2 guys to land hooks on the back of your head or give you a good football kick on the balls. If they were average joes who would do their sissy punch on your back and you just turn around to KO them that would make sense, but if its a boxer throwing a full blown straight right to your back, expect a broken back...:)

    The closest monitered thing i have witnessed to a fighter v a tough half decent past his prime pro heavyweight was Ray v Kimbo....

    Mercer did just get smothered and didn't get a chance to do anything.. But i dont suppose anyone would relish standing in front of a Ray Mercer past it or not and expect to get away unscathed.....
