i mean you cant just go to ground with someone like Karelin, Tyson, Lennox Lewis if you arent very good at throws or takedowns..

if a BJJ practicioner learnt the Jodo throws well wouldnt that be ideal?
BJJ is focused on groundfighting and you will learn TDs to get opponents on the ground.

Is intentionally going to the ground the best for street fighting? do all fights go to the ground? IMHO no. But BJJ can be used for SD

Like anything else, uou will learn to be proficient at throws and TDs. Throws are included in BJJ just not to the same extent as Judo or JJJ. Lewis and Tyson are boxers, The philosophy of BJJ is to take the opponent out of there element (standing) and to the ground
