I don't know why I'm commenting on this thread, as it's a huge cluster...but...
Let's assume we have a street fight. There are no broken bottles. The floor isn't made of lava. We just have two people fighting.
I would favor a professional boxer over an average joe.
I would favor someone with two years of wrestling experience over someone with two years of boxing experience.
I would favor the better conditioned person if both are untrained/marginally trained. For example, I'd favor a world class athlete like Lebron James over CM Punk, though Punk is a "professional fighter".
The fact of the matter is that someone who has been training any martial art for any significant amount of time that isn't absolute bullshido will out do the untrained person minus the chance of a lucky punch. Whether that art is boxing or tae kwon do or BJJ or wrestling.
