Vitor Belfort
Roger Huerta
Mirko Cro Cop
Tank Abbott
Marco Ruas
Antonio Noguiera

Ken Shamrock
Mark Coleman

.....and just for the sake of pure ferocity and punching power, lets also include Marciano, Tyson, Duran, Hearns, Pryor, Foreman, and Dempsey.

What say you guys?

in a one on one street fight I have to go with Coleman His double to ground and pound with the headbutt was a riddle that never really got solved it just got side-stepped in a rules change.

My next pick might be Big George because most of these guys would get KOed by a stiff foreman jab. Forget about a cross or anything "serious." Also, a young George Foreman is a level of athlete that mma hasn't seen yet.

You might want to add Lee Murray to that list. He is most well known for a certain street fight.

[Ultimatewingchun]

What fight is that?

He supposedly had a street fight with Tito Ortiz.

Also, have you guys seen the Roger Huerta streetfight video yet?

lee murray wrecked tito outside a night club in the uk

he would get my vote, he has had dozens of street fights and destroyed guys standing and with suplexs lol

Of course, you have probably never seen any vintage boxing footage so you really don't know what you are talking about. If you have seen a lot of vintage footage, with that comment, it is clear that you don't know anything.

he was a good athlete but you have had olyimpic champs compete in MMA not to mention K1 full time pros as well, Kerr was a machine, etc there have been great athetes in MMA

Foreman has actually said had MMA been around back then, he may well have entered MMA instead of boxing.

I remember watching the young George Foreman when it was live. George was awesomely strong but I don't believe his conditioning was any better that a professional MMA fighter. Probably the best conditioned combat sports athletes are wrestlers.

Conditoning is sport specific, it's a waste of time comparing one with the other.
The best conditioned athletes are the ones that are well conditioned for what they do.

He is a better athlete; the conditioning is beside the point. MMA fighters right now are guys who couldn't play football or basketball on the high-school level so they wrestled. George Foreman is the hardest puncher to ever live; not because of conditiong, he was/is a genetic marvel.

I would think that Bas Rutten would be a bad ass street fighter.

I'm **** near sure that there is a vid of Coleman in a streetfight (or is it Hendo?) its CCTV footage from a bar and I'm convinced that Wallid Ismael is involved too.

lee murray wrecked tito outside a night club in the uk

he would get my vote, he has had dozens of street fights and destroyed guys standing and with suplexs lol

never heard the suplexes thing, but wouldnt put it past him, he was an absolute legend around here before any mma training too...

The gypsy thing doesnt surprise me, hence

Why would you say that? Didn't Murray almost die getting knifed on the street?

he did yes, but was back training 6? weeks later. and this was the result of a fued with local travellers i am led to believe

IMO, there is too much difference in the ring-fighting ability for Murray to overcome Silva in the street. Silva is a true MMAist so I doubt that Murray could pull something out that Silva would not be ready for. Just maybe Murray could put up a better showing in the street than the cage but I can't see him winning against silva.

have you actually seen the fight? Silva refused to bang with Murray, and even stayed on his back whilst Murray walked around him. On the street Silva would have been decimated

yes tito supposedly rushed murray and tried to throw a hook murray ducks under it comes up and drops tito then stomps on his melon while hes down

lol at the gyspy fight what a nut

one punched him then kicked his head like a field goal!

Lee Murray a colorful story but gets destroyed by Anderson Silva.

watch the full fight...

but my vote goes to tyson. he destroyed that guys career on the street and he would one punch anyone with bare hands.

no doubt about it.

the only defence anyone could have is by not getting caught, and people used to find that pretty difficult
