Light-hearted riot thread - which boxers?

[Fists of Fury]

In light of the ongoing riots, let's say you are a shop owner for the day. The angry mob has moved on to your street, and are heading straight for your shop. You (somehow) have the ability to summon two boxer, past or present, to your aid in order to fight off these hooligans.

Which two boxers would you choose?

My two picks would be Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Chavez, between them I think they would form a lethal streetfighting combo, and I'd feel sorry for the looters should one of them get caught by Duran in a phone box..

[Imperial Ghosty]

Would have to pick Tyson and Dempsey, there would be a lot of broken carnage on the floor unleashing that pair.

[eddyfightfan]

mike tyson twice

Great picks!

[Imperial Ghosty]

You could go the George Foreman way, first he tries to preach and cool the situation but if that doesn't work he'll knock you the **** out.

[Mind the windows Tino.]

John L Sullivan and Jem Mace.

Or they were busy, Audley Harrison and Jonny Nelson.

[Fists of Fury]

Edwin Valero? Or would he join in with them?

[Scottrf]

You're underestimating Lennox Lewis, he was about to rip Tyson's head off at the press conference.

[88Chris05]

Shavers and Foreman. They've got a lot of rioters to knock out, so probably best to get a couple of guys who could do it with one punch to save time and energy! Besides, talk about two big, bad dudes...

[eddyfightfan]

i dont think too many people would go up and start a fight with the klitchsho brothers....

[HumanWindmill]

Jim Watt and Duke McKenzie, for me.

Even rioters have their breaking points, I suspect.

[Rowley]

Edwin Valero? Or would he join in with them?

Valero and Mayorga, now I don't care how crazy a rioter you encounter he ain't picking a fight with those two.

[Imperial Ghosty]

Could we send Anthony Small along as a test dummy?

[Fists of Fury]

Ha, yeah, why not?

[coxy0001]

Tony Galento and Oliver McCall. Two certified lunatics would do the job.

[Super D Boon]

Would have to pick Muhammed Ali alone.

In the riots that insued after Witherspoon beat Bruno the angry mob made a bee line to the changing room where Tim was. Ali just told them to STOP and they did.

[HumanWindmill]

Alan Minter.

Probably a walk in the park compared to the aftermath of his fight with Hagler.

Alternatively, Andrew Golota and Ike Ibeabuchi would make for an interesting pairing.

Or the Williams sisters.

[J.Benson II]

Mike Tyson and Ike Ibeabuchi would be pretty obvious choices.

If only using current stars, I'd pick two out of Vitali Klitschko, David Tua, Chris Arreola, Lateef Kayode, Benard Hopkins, Artur Szpiilka and Denis Boytsov.

[Fists of Fury]

Golota and Ibeabuchi, they'd be some street fighting tag team! Just imagine how good Andrew could have been had fouls been allowed?

The Williams sisters careful, Windy.

[HumanWindmill]

Pushing my luck with that one wasn't I, mate ?

[Mr Bounce]

Nigel Benn would probably be quite useful, and I'd take Andrew Golota (from the time when he fought Riddick Bowe). The man is a bit unstable, punches like a mule and looks dangerous too. He wouldn't be worried about letting some punches fly below the belt line to fell a few "gangstas"

Just don't take Toney and Bowe if your shop sells food...

[Fists of Fury]

Pushing my luck with that one wasn't I, mate ?

Just slightly, though I don't dispute that they'd make a damn intimidating partnership.

[J.Benson II]

I'd probably take along a couple of MMA fighters as well just to add to the carnage.
Brock Lesnar, Alexander Emelianenko, Mirko Crocop and Alistair Overeem would all be lethal together.

Sorry, couldnt resist. Given the variety, they'd probably be the most useful though.

[Lumbering_Jack]

'Reem would be a great choice. Read somewhere that he knocked out 6 Russian doorman who had the cheek to try and chuck him out of a bar.

Tyson, as much as he is overated would be a good choice. Dangerous man.

[HumanWindmill]

Sonny Liston could probably have sorted it on his own.

gotta be manny pacquiao

[Lumbering_Jack]

Hopkins. Get the impression he is a nasty piece of work, basically because he is.

Rocky with his deathly punch power would be a good shout.

[Fists of Fury]

Chuvalo would be a good shout, I'm pretty sure he could take a molotov cocktail to the chin and still walk through it.

[alanqlm]

Would probably take Vitali along just for the fact his chin is definitely super human, I doubt any amount of rioters could knock him over if those Lewis uppercuts couldn't and lets face it he is probably gonna ship alot of punishment.

And James Toney for the fact that if he couldnt kick some butt he would at least get jammed in the door and prevent them from getting through that way.

[HumanWindmill]

Any of Margarito's opponents.

They are quite accustomed to being hit with lumps of concrete.

[Fists of Fury]

Sven Ottke would be a good one, he would turn the tables, and end up robbing them!

[88Chris05]

Ah yes, my favourite ever 'safety' measure in boxing, the concrete hand wraps. Much better than the reduction to twelve rounds, or the four-roped ring.

[HumanWindmill]

Sven Ottke would be a good one, he would turn the tables, and end up robbing them!

Ha !

I believe that we have our post of the day. Hats off, Sir.

[zx1234]

tyson and butterbean, tyson could do it on his own butterbean would just be there to be used to block the door

[Imperial Ghosty]

We could really confuse the rioters and send in Jimmy Wilde and Khaosai Galaxy.

[licence_007]

Enzo. With his chin he'd probably take any punishment they could give....

That still has to be the most hilarious post I have ever read on any forum, anywhere.

Ha, thank you. I'm here all day.

[Steffan]

Carl Froch. His nose would stop anyone getting through the door in the first place. I live in Wales though and this would never happen as the people of somewhere like Cardiff would never stand for it

[licence_007]

Brilliant!

[Rowley]

Also there is sod all worth robbing there

[Imperial Ghosty]

You mean like the Cardiff race riots of 1919?

That would never happen now. Cardiff is a close knit city. The locals wouldnt stand for it. And even though south Wales is a victim of the recession with unemployment, we do not have the social and cultural problems that London and Birmingham get. Thank goodness as well

[Mind the windows Tino.]

'Reem would be a great choice. Read somewhere that he knocked out 6 Russian doorman who had the cheek to try and chuck him out of a bar.

I heard he took on a grizzly bear who was protecting her cubs, whilst singlehandedly handing a beatdown to a reticulated python. Right after he had finished cuddling with another man in lycra of course.

[HumanWindmill]

How about Maurice Tillet ?

Happened though didn't it, your pathetic little pro welsh comment backfired as per usual, reel it in.

[Fists of Fury]

Jesus wept, I'm sure he featured in the recent Harry Potter movie that I went to see.

[Steffan]

Happened though didn't it, your pathetic little pro welsh comment backfired as per usual, reel it in or **** off.

Hardly pro-Welsh. Just stating that we wouldnt allow it in this day and age. The EDL tried marching in Cardiff and the locals drove them out. We stick together and take pride in our city. Shame the same cant be said for other cities...
