To be fair, Mayorga was a decent competitor at the high levels of boxing, and he got his ass kicked most of the time by better technicians. That being said, he's one boxer I wouldn't bet against in a street fight. I bet he would beat some of the same boxers he lost to in a street fight. Some people are natural fighters, regardless of the environment. Guys like Mayorga, Tyson or Golovkin are crazy/tough enough to whip ass in the ring or outside of it.
Trained guys have an obvious advantage over non-trained guys, but I do think environment does play a big factor. It's the same reason why some people who look like beast in sparring can't always bring that in a real match. Sparring/fighting in a ring is different from a street fight and the variables/environment are very different.
Generally, boxers are better suited for street fighting than BJJ because of the way they train and the type of people who box. A lot of boxers are natural tough guys and boxing gyms are lot of the time located in rougher areas, while BJJ caters more towards a different demographic. Sparring in a boxing is ring more chaotic and violent than most BJJ sparring sessions, and that is better for psychologically preparing somebody for a real fight.
But the difference in environment is a big factor. Ricky Hatton apparently got his ass kicked in a bar fight, although knowing Ricky, he was probably shit faced and coked out of his mind.
this thread wouldnt do so well in the grappling subforum

Cody Gibson was beat up by a Sherdogger. +1 for that member.
Are you being serious?
I don't remember that detail coming out of the story, but I may have gotten off that train before then.
But one detail missed in this thread was that the double would have likely stuck, but a friend of Bro Lesnar tipped Gibson's legs over during the scramble.
If you fish hook someone, poke their eyes, bite their face or neck, crush their balls, etc..they will probably release the submission or stop swinging. It can turn the tide of a fight in a second. Or you can pick up something heavy and crush a skull. In a street fight environmental awareness is key. Are you about to get jumped? Do they have machetes? Guns? Hand to hand combat is a small part of the CRUCIAL street fights. The street wars.

but what that guy an actual Sherdogger? Lol
if someone got me in any ground position what's gonna stop me from hitting their balls with my fist or driving my key into their eye balls?
Trained fighters have rules, street fighting has no rules, objects make a difference, keys are a good weapon, everyone always has keys.
I've seen trained fighters kick ass and i've also seen them get their ass kicked. All depends on the individual.
For some good street fighting tips i recommend watching wwf hardcore title matches, although i have yet to hit some one in the nuts with a bowling ball, i do know how well a trash can is used.
Didn't Shields get oustruck during the kickboxing round? Lol
