I've heard people say that boxing doesn't help in a steet fight. They're stupid.

My old trainer said it best when I asked him this very question. A nice old guy, retired pro, rarely says a bad word or curses.... but I quote.... he said "Oh FUCK yeah. You've got two hands. They've got one."

With the average chump, a boxer would see those big ugly shots coming a mile away and could counter them with ease. Plus boxers have two hands.
