    Some of the bigger and stronger men would likely handle Tyson on the street, he wasn't the most powerful fighter in clinches and at wrestling l.

    Didn't Dempsey beat the crap out of some thugs when he was in his 50s?

    Two names that are verified as great street-fighters are Chuck Wiggins and Charley Mitchell,more recently Lew Jenkins was a terror.

    I reckon Duran.

    See his story about when he knocked out a horse.

    Yeah something like that. I stand corrected, I do believe he was in his 70s.

    But then, Dempsey was a bad ass mother ****er

    Tony Galento was notorious for being a rough cat. He knocked Jackie Gleason out cold outside a nightclub.

    I'm not sure many could handle the Larry Holmes flying drop-kick off the limo.
    That's Street Fighter II special move type sh!t right there.

    Buried somewhere on the site is a similar question...but is regarding a small Gang of boxers (including some smaller guys) out marauding about at nite, and who would you select in the gang. Guys like Liston, Tyson, Foreman, Dempsey, Galento, Duran, etc, out kicking basses and taking names. It's funny as "bell".
