Couple questions about street fighting

I've trained boxing for a while, some JKD, and almost got in a street fight today. I didn't, but had a few questions I thought I'd like to know.

#1. I've boxed a lot, and been hit with 8 oz gloves QUITE HARD. I know they say it's a myth as far as like 4 oz gloves, 8 oz, 12, etc that you don't get hit harder just cuz it's less padding. My question though if somebody hit me 100% with 8 oz, and 100% bare handed...Anybody know the difference? I know knuckles cut and they'll dig in, but as far as actual force does it make a huge difference??
#2. Like I said I've been training hard, and I feel confident in my abilities, BUT not as much as I should be IMO! I spar at least once a week. I'm boxing some kid right now that outweighs me by 30 pds, and has 4 inch height advantage, and I'm more than willing to get inside, and go to war with him (even though I'm faster/ more skilled). I don't feel so confident street fighting because I haven't done it in 10 years...Even though I practice JDK, and MT. I do feel like IF I did get in a street fight I'd probably do fine, but anyway to boost my confidence?....Besides beating up people on the street ...
#3. I also feel like having so many styles is to much. Like my brain wouldn't know what one to pick. I'm short, and stocky so honestly knees, elbows, and hooks would be my goal (even wrestling I overpower most people near my size), but I also practice mule kicks, side kick to the knee, groin kicks, leg kicks, etc. Is it good to have lots of styles? OR sometimes to much is not good? Would my brain automatically pick something...Much like it does when your sparring, and you pick your punches/ see your openings?

 

I'm surprised at how unwelcome the thread is. As for it being a strictly "boxing forum" how about look on the front page, and see how well that applies. I see somebody selling a weight bench, protein shakes, weight lifting, etc.
It's not like I said I'm looking for a street fight. The fight almost found me. And yeah...Most of the time you don't have to fight, but in life you might have too.
And I'm sure as many people that post on the training section...All of you guys don't fight amatuers, or actual matches. I'm sure some people train because they like the sport, and *SELF DEFENSE*. I'm sure if somebody starts stuff with everybody I posted, or there's a physichal altercation...There not just going to walk away.
That being said thanks SouthpawSlayer as he provided the only helpful info. It'd be different if I was walking around trying to bully people, but I had legitimate questions about self defense.
and #3 was a question about styles, and nothing about actually fighting, and still nobody answered it.
