As someone who used to box..this isn't true. A street fight doesn't have rules, boxing does. Boxing also doesn't really train you to guard against attacks aimed at your legs, which wrestlers have plenty of those.

Boxing is only more practical if the person you are fighting decides to conform and only fight you under the rules of a boxing match.

I used to do Okinawan Karate; We're pretty impractical in a street fight too. Boxers throw harder punches than us, but we know how to utilize our legs. Any single disciple is pretty useless in a fight, but from what I can tell, most street fights start off as a boxing-match and end up on the ground. I'd personally prefer Jiu Jitsu over wrestling but in the end it's MMA that counts

Wrestling.
Pro wrestling to be exact.

Wrestling
Submission style wrestling to be exact
Take a guy down and bend his arms or legs around he ain't gonna be throwing no punches or kicking much.

Wrestling!

Well then I'll try very hard not to pick a fight with one of those. Problem solved.

Is this a poll in reference to actual fighting or just for entertainment value?

Cause I go with Wrassling in the later hafl....cause Wrassling has hot babes in skimpy outfits.l

Maybe for the first 30 seconds or so. Hopefully you hurt them bad enough in that time so it doesn't go to the ground, which most of the time, it does. If not, a pure poxer is in a lot of trouble. I prefer watching Boxing to Wrestling, but unless you have extremely good takedown defense, wrestling is more useful in my opinion.

IDK....Taekwondo users seem to have a lot of openings for take downs. It seems like a lot of excess movement. Also, is there much of a ground game for TKD?

Yeah big dumb wrassler he's easy to beat... until he breaks out the Yaw-Yan kicks.

Never said I was a one trick pony.

Yup.

I've trained in boxing, and i'm more well rounded with having also trained in combatives (ground game).

i will prefer boxing always
