    Well if Tyson fought Holyfield in an alley, Holyfield would be earless as a seal..

    George Foreman vs Ron Lyle probably wouldn't look much different...

    I think there's lots of guys could kick floyd mayweather's @$$ in a street-fight.

    Mayweather's style is the ultimate exploitation of Boxing rules which results in a style that can win a boxing match on points in a boxing ring, but is non-functional elsewhere. If Mayweather struck a man bare-fisted in the street, he'd break his fragile hands without doing any serious damage to his adversary.

    Boxing was once "The Noble Art of Self-Defense", and that real-world application as self-defense is how I view Boxing, not at all as a sport/game that is becoming the popular assessment of it ie Olympic Boxing.

    With that touch-for-points amateur system, plenty of developing fighters develop bad habits and never learn how to throw a real punch with their body-weight behind it (Paulie Malignaggi, Paul Williams, Winky Wright, Joe Calzaghe, Floyd Mayweather, Cory Spinks, Chris Byrd)

    Where in the hell but in a Boxing ring would Muhammad Ali's rope-a-dope strategy have any hand-to-hand combat value at all?

    James Toney, Glengoffe Johnson, Edison Pantera Miranda, Arthur Abraham, Ricardo Mayorga, Edwin Valero, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah are some guys that would f*<k you up in a street-fight though.

    Who cares though? When did anyone say that boxing was the end all of street self defence? You just sound like some yuppie MMA fan trying to downplay subtle aspects of the sport that have been around forever. What on earth are you talking about a new breed who never learn to throw a real punch?? There have always been evasive fighters who fight off the back foot, or pressure fighters who sacrifice punching power in order to throw an accumulation of shots. If it were as simple as "not throwing a real punch", then other guys wouldv'e been capitalizing on it and those guys wouldn't have been great boxers.

    Floyd Mayweather would still beat 99% of 147 pound evryday joes in the world in a street fight. He'd avoid punches, be strong and fit, and still hit harder and faster than almost anyone that size. He would have great self defence. Just cos some world class fighters might be tougher dont mean he wouldnt still be good in a street fight.

    Tex Cobb vs George Foreman in a street fight would be simply awesome.

    How about the scene when they walk out of the river and they've got leeches allover their body?
    Then he looks in his underwear and he's got a leech stuck on his dick.

    its like saying if brazil played turkey in a soocer match in the street............... turkey would win coz they'd kick the brazil boys to pieces

    its boxing mate, its a sport, theres a craft to it and artistry its a sweet science......... there was some years ago a fella who was world street fighting champ bare knuclke champion, won something like 49 fights all by ko...... he got in the ring, fought a 40 yearld bert cooper.......... the first jab bert landed shook the fella the next punch layed him clean out............ that was his only pro boxing contest, it lasted 1 min.........he went back to bare knuckle

    I agree with you... A big difference between street and pro.

    The fight your talking about would be Bert Cooper vs. Joe Savage.
    Took place in 1994...
