    Some say Duran "cheap shotted" the horse from the side...on the ref's command to break.

    People must be off their head if they believe Duran could knock out a horse.

    Peter the Prince Jackson
    Was shun by top fighters and John L Sullvain refused to give him title shot.
    As a young man Jackson used his fists to quell a mutiny and the incident received
    attention with the press and that started his pugilist career.

    Not including boxers who are also the likes of kickboxers, MMA fighters, Muay Thai etc. I'd say Foreman, Dempsey, Tyson.
    The ultimate street fighter from boxing would be someone the size of Foreman who also had the grappling and inside work of a Dempsey.

    Only known streetfight for Tyson after taking up boxing and he broke his hand. Some of the other boxers have their "streetfights" on youtube and look horrible.

    As a known quantity, I would say Dempsey. He rode the rails as a bum before making it big and fought just to stay alive many times.

    Would have taught him a thing or two if the tiny pony's stallion dad had come charging over and kicked him in the Buchanans

    Ive never heard about Liston getting into any street fights. I know he injured a police officer once and commited a Robbery.
    But street fights? Not to my knowledge.
    Anyway That would be incredibly foolish and instant suicide.

    Who the hell would walk up to Liston and try to pick a fight in the streets with him?lol

    You better off fighting Foreman compared to Liston IMO
