    Jeffries, because he knew how to grapple and had iron chin.

    Ike Ibeabuchi. A physical beast of a man, that guy was reputedly mentally unstable and his erratic behaviour even to those who were familiar with him and his moods could be intimidating and unpredictable.

    Might well be a risky choice though as in the heat of battle he might turn and attack me as well.

    Tyson, Foreman, Lewis, or Vitali are all good answers. An entire gang of Hell's Angels would **** themselves and run against any one of them.

    Ron Lyle, as he probably had a gun! And if he didn't? He'd still be pretty damn handy.

    That would be the issue with Ike. He could blindside his friend as well
