To be honest any pro boxer would be good to have in your corner. I work with an old welterweight called Steve Hogg he only ever won 3 but trust me he's in his 40s now but I'd pretty much put him against anyone on a street.

Great idea for a thread..
I would go with James Toney for sure.
How about Andre Berto's dad. I would say one look at him and you wouldn't have to fight at all. LOL

Well I've a read about a young George Foreman, and I mean young as in age 13 beating up trained streetfighters for money. Thats a full grown man getting battered off a child basically. Pro boxers are a different breed trust me!

No argument on Foreman--young or old.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Urango may have earned his place in the alley. His sweeping hooks would take out 3 or 4 muggers at a time.
