Tyson's encounter with Mitch Green counts as a bar room brawl.
Leon Spinks and his famous stolen teeth are just the tip of the iceberg for Leon, he was also a bouncer in a Detroit area drinking establishment.
Kassim Ouma the Ugandan middleweight who lost to Gennady Golovkin in 2011 was arrested for killing a guy in a bar room brawl in Uganda.
Jake LaMotta owned a drinking establishment, but few patrons had the testicular fortitude to challenge him in his own place,
John L. Sullivan fought in the bare knuckles era, a time when almost all bare knuckle contests were connected to bars or drinking establishments, and his legacy is based on this famous "I can beat any man in the house" quote.
Hello my friend a few I can think of:
John L. Sullivan: would walk into a bar and yell "I can lick any sonofabitch in the house".
Stanley Ketchel: was a bar room bouncer before becoming a boxer.
Harry Greb: it was said he was always up for a fight, be it in the ring, in a bar, in a dance hall, or up an alley.
Jack Dempsey: as a teenager he would walk into bars in tough Coloradoo mining towns and challenge the toughest men.
Tony Galento: owned a bar in New Jersey and wasn't averse to mixing it up with customers.
Randy Tex Cobb. All the time.
Cobb was interviewed on TV one time, showing up with his arm in a cast. He said that he was in a bar fight and someone swung a crowbar at him and he blocked it with his fore arm. And still kicked the guy's a*s.
He's also a man who doesn't abandon his friends when they're in trouble. One time, in 1982 when he was living in Philadelphia a friend of his, newspaper columnist Pete Dexter was in a bad fix and taking a terrible beating in a bar.
Cobb came to his rescue, taking a good beating himself in the process and ending up with a broken arm that in turn cost him a scheduled big money fight with the legendary Muhammad Ali.
John L. Sullivan and Jack Dempsey got their starts in bar rooms. They fought for money against any and all.
