Default Could you take this pro boxer in a street brawl?

This man.

OK. He was a pro boxer which immediately makes me think the answer must be "no". But come on. This guy has been KOed 31 out of 31 times, whilst fighting at a very low level, never even completing the 2nd round! He clearly has terrible co-ordination and very little punch resistance. I think it is close, and many of the more able 2p2ers would be able to.

He's almost 45 years old. That's definitely not a plus for him.

On the other hand, boxing at the pro level isn't easy. Just because the guy loses every time doesn't mean he couldn't waltz over a lot of competent amateurs. I haven't seen him fight so I wouldn't know about the particulars you're describing. But simply being able to take a punch in the gut would put even a miserable pro-level boxer well above the average guy off the street.

He still trains to fight even if he is horrible. I'm sure he could take most people on this forum.
I am confident however I would [censored] him up.

Is Crumble his real name?

Actually, it is easier to take out a boxer in a streetfight than you think. The key is to KICK them and take the fight to the ground. Avoid a punching match where an amateur will be outclassed.

Kicking is always dangerous and most people can't kick for crap. And if a boxer gets inside on you when one of your legs is off the ground, you're in deep poop.

I'd say the average guy would be better off taking him to the ground.

Heh. Where'd you find this guy?

Hmm. I'm a little bigger than he is, but I'm built more like a not-so-jacked light heavyweight than a mid. He probably has the reach on me, but my footwork and hands are still pretty good, though I doubt I have a lot of snap in my punches these days. He seems to get TKOed an awful lot in the later rounds, though, so I think that if I could stay in there for the first five or six, I'd be a favorite over the later part of the match. I'd totally do this if there were even a three-digit purse involved, btw.

I bet most would have little chance against this guy.
