In this latest edition of out Talk ‘N’ Shoot Podcast, we get the discussion back to boxing, as guests Mike Davis (United Combat League) and Dave Siderski (Mythical Boxing) join us for an hour long discussion revolving around boxing’s toughest guys.
The discussion did not center around technical fighters, defensive fighters or those fleet of foot, so Floyd Mayweather Jr need not apply. The discussion centered around which fighters you would want on your side in a bar fight, a street fight, a fight in an alley, or a fight to the death in a ditch during World War 1.
It takes a certain breed of fighter to thrive under those extreme conditions, and the discussion inevitably identified a wide range of boxers covering all era’s, shapes and sizes. What is more, several world champions and all-time greats fit right into the discussion and were talked about at length, so the talk was not limited to just a list of brawlers.

Primo Carnera, who was World Heavyweight Champion during the 1930s was one of the selections discussed. For pure size and brute strength, Carnera enjoyed all the advantages over his contemporaries, but he learned his craft by competing and was short on technique against many of the world’s top fighters. Carnera was sent to the canvas throughout his career, but he got up and kept fighting. Who else made the discussion on “Boxing’s Best Street-Fighters!”
Check out our latest podcast, where we look at what boxers we would want by our side in a street fight.
