Which Current Fighter Would You Want Backing You Up in a Street Fight?

[holmcall]

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.

Steve Hogg

With respect, many boxers stay away from street fighters. They (SF's) fight differently and under a different mind set. They do things that boxers have never been trained to do--like grab or kick your cojones or rabbit punch or elbow you in the nose or head butt you intentionally. The boxer that backs one up better know what he is in for if the street fighter is expperienced, Point: having a boxer back you up in an alley is not a slam dunk for protection--unless it is the Beast from The East who would scare the crap out of any one.

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.
