The answer to this question would depend on the skill level of the practitioner. Western Boxing is considered by many to be the ultimate fighting science in the use of the closed fist. It has been studied by many Martial Arts masters. Many of whom have included it in their styles such as Fred Villari and Bruce Lee. A skilled boxer can be exceedingly effective and deliver devastating damage with it's combination of punches and footwork. Boxers however are limited to hand strikes alone. Martial Artists may employ the use of kicks, take-downs as well as grappling maneuvers to defeat their opponent. So if two opponents met with equal boxing skills, the addition of other martial skills could give him the advantage. That being said, a man with superior boxing skills can put a quick end to any confrontation before the use of any additional skills come into play.

There are many other martial arts that have far better hand skills than boxing. so i believe the answer wouldn't be boxing. boxing is a very brutal sport but it cant be considered a martial art.

Assuming you are young and fit enough, if you need a martial art you can use, and need to use right away I would go with Judo; its simple, and grappling is intuitive to all primates (assuming you're an evolutionist). Human hands were made for grasping, not hitting, that is why grapplers do indeed have an advantage (at the early stages) over strikers. When you grapple, you are working with intuition hardwired into your primate DNA; even women will grapple, and do it very effectively and intuitively, against an assailant. I recomend Judo because its one of the most common, and schools are relatively easy to find. Now I WOULD recomend Muay Thai, but, Muay Thai gyms are generally only found in large cities. If you live in a major U.S. cultural center such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago or Miami then no worries; I'm sure there's a Muay Thai gym somewhere. However if you live in a small city between 100k and a million people, I would go with Judo.

In that a street fight is not a demonstration of your martial arts skills and your opponent (even if he doesn't shoot you dead from a safe distance) is probably used to absorbing a lot more punishment that you've ever received, no martial arts school grad is going to stand much of a chance. Just to test yourself go to sleazy bar and insult the bouncer and then try to push past him to get back to your party. At least he may not break you beyond repair.
