Boxing is the best martial arts for a street fight

Any other answer is cope

Inb4 Muay Thai

Agreed, inb4 BJJ copers say that they're going to pull guard onto a concrete sidewalk or hard wood floor without cracking their head open

Can say it is the best, but it is very good.

Dude in high school with minimum boxing training (like 3 months) won a fight against a state champion wrestler.

Not necessarily. I believe you should train 3: Boxing for punching, Muay Thai for kicks, elbows, clinchwork, and BJJ for grappling.


Never, ever, get yourself into a ground position in a street fight, though. There's always the armchair fight statistician who's like "85% of street fights go to the ground, bruh" but never go there unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

Boxing is better than Muay Thai because most Muay Thai schools don't emphasize footwork and head movement as much (which are very important for street fights since you are not wearing oversized gloves).

Boxers will get fked by wrestlers 9 out of 10 times if it's 1 vs 1 though.

Honestly some people are just going to clean your clock regardless of how you prepare. All men are not created equal, some people will naturally be more explosive, better timing, chin, limb length, initiative and they are probably the type to instigate fights, and the amount of time you spend in the gym practicing whatever combat sport won’t matter.

I always carry a weapon knife or gun, its legal where I live, and I have 5 years of armature boxing when I was younger. If you're getting into fights you're an idiot.
