Georges Laraque vs Wade Brookbank Feb. 14, 2008

[weeks630]

you all named some great fighters Cashman? not sure he should even be mentioned with the others, Playfair was a bad ass, and Dave Brown was another monster in his time.

[belair55zz56]

Cashman was beat by Guy Lapointe, cut him badly.

[zeeza7]

Also by 5' 7" Henri Richard.

[GARRLAND1]

The best fighter in NHL history is Wayne Cashman. He'd stomp Laraques' butt.

[RJL1981]

Really? I just watched 3 fights where Cashman was the punching bag. Kelly, Schonfeld and Schultz, they all beat him bad.

And Cashman is like 70 now. I don't think he can even skate anymore. LoL

[GARRLAND1]

I'm not saying he never got whipped, but he was the best fighter I ever saw. As far as fighting now, maybe he's past his prime. But now days they grab and wrestle too much. Wayne could punch.

[buttkick22]

cashman was one of the most exciting fighters for sure.....i dunno about the best but im not gonna criticize someones opinion........id go with larry playfair.....in his prime he had a win streak that was more impressive than big george becasue playfair actually killed guys

[GARRLAND1]

Big George is strong and has real good balance, but some of the old fighters could punch. They didn't seem to wrestle as much as they do today.

[mskity]

what is the name of that song

[smokingpotatoes]

i lost brookbank on waivers in nhl 09

[HTFfan111]

Laraqu wins.....are any of us surprised?

[KillaV40]

laraque is the best fighter in nhl history.

[ChiHawks24]

try Bob Probert.

[PocketHercules99]

brown broke georges eye socket in a boxing match

[perusbaltero]

I'd say Laraque is ONE of the best fighters in nhl history. He's my favourite too, but there has been lots of great fighters before him as well :)

[EastCoastDude99]

try Dave Shultz of the Broad Street Bullies. AND he doesnt wrestle like a little girl when he starts losing, like Laraque.

@EastCoastDude99

Sorry dude, The Hammer was not that great of a fighter, he was just a maniac. Anytime Dave started eating punches the rest of the team jumped in. Not to say he wasn't tough, but Nick Fotiu for one owned him.

[CONTRAHABS]

Brookbank is a lightweight compared to George.

[lvgordo]

seems like bgl was the only one to throw some shots.

[steelcityassault]

laraque win
