My favorite part is at 2:48 where Wilson tries to throw a punch and Willi stops it in mid-air. Have NEVER seen that happen to Big Behn, as Willi was one strong S.O.B.
Behn Wilson was one of the greats when it came to brawling in the NHL but Plett seemed to know how to fight him without getting mauled too bad like the many that ran into the likes of big Behn.
Round1= NARROW WIN Wilson for landing mostly better shots.
Round2=TKOwin Wilson, he owned Plett in the end for sure.
Round3=Shit DRAW, Wilson landed few early and Plett threw one back not sure landed and ragdolled Wilson to the ice but the officials came in and never took over on the ice so draw.
Round4=CLEAR WIN Plett who stunned big time Wilson with one middle.
I agree with Justice Wilson was just about the toughest fighter ever in the NHL. He OWNED Plett and along with Dave Brown and Probert you have the top three,
@eddubbs While anybody who follows hockey has Wilson as an all-time top 5 fighter, to say he OWNED Plett is laughable. Plett had the edge in all three of their fights when Wilson was with Chicago
@jscottrockford I'd rank the top 5 all-time as Wilson, Playfair, Gillies, Brown, and Laraque. Others that can be mentioned in the conversation are Simon, Brashear, Probert, Berube, and a few others. Willi Plett is definitely top 20
@justice008a Certainly can't disagree with your list, as that top 5 is pretty solid. You're obviously a big Behn Wilson fan and I'm a big Plett fan, so we'll have to "agree to disagree" on their match-ups...........as I may be a bit biased. lol Always thought Jim McKenzie was under-rated as a fighter, too, and also might sneak Grimson and McSorley into the top 15 as well, if for no other reason than they had long careers and took on pretty much all comers during their era.
@justice008a I agree about Plett boy due i miss the good old days when the tough guys could all play no body worried about concussions and they still had respect for each other. Hockey will never be this way again its sad but true.
Plett was one of the strongest and toughest players of his era, and also a very good player, as he won Rookie Of The Year honors in 1977 and ended up with over 220 career goals
@Envelope86 beat Wilson once; he figured out after the first 3 fights he couldn't take Behn Wilson's right hand because he was being clobbered. I'd give Plett the decision in Chicago. The other where he hung on to Wilson's right for dear life he didn't land anything either to merit a decision. Scored a takedown in the last fight; didn't really win the fight as much as show he didn't want to stand toe-to-toe. Give him tonnes of credit though; he fought Wilson better than anyone else I agree
@justice008a Maybe Wilson's best fights are not posted on YouTube -- on YouTube he clearly lost to Plett, Fotiu and Wendell Clark and lost closer decisions to Schultz, Probert, Wensink, Gillies (round 2) and was fought even by Tiger Williams, Jonathan, O'Reilly (round 2) and Tony McKegney. Even little Garry Howatt fought him tough.
@Envelope86 He lost to Probert?? LOL, you'd better have another look at that one; Probert fought like a scared man holding on; landed one punch that Wilson immediately connected harder after, and you can't see Wilson filling Probert's ear hole with 4 right hands at the beginning without any response??. He KO'd O'Reilly in both fights, beat Clark twice. Anyone with any intelligence lists Behn Wilson in the top 3 or 4 all-time. Go ahead and list your top 5; I think I can use a good laugh today

Wilson had the face of a pig. Plett threw him around like a rag doll.
