...anyone who thinks Wendell Clark wasnt tough is clearly not thinking straight. Who tossed the gloves and said "lets go" against the best fighter in the league ...Wendell. Now being a Blackhawk and a Probert fan...I have nothing but praise for Big Bob...but i wont in any way toss molitov coctails at Clark. For his size...he was as tough as they came. Not to mention...he won this exchange but a slim decision...which not many could say when you are facing Probie in his prime.
clark was one of the best all around players of his time. he can fight, he can score, he was a captain, and he was a franchise player. unfortunate he never won a cup but he truly was the prime example of how hockey should always be played, with just pure heart.
Clark never was one to drop them and square off for a fair fight, just threw the gloves and started punching whether his opponent was ready or not. That is, of course, unless he was fighting a much smaller opponent.
@jatt96 they didnt need to have big enforcers....clark would knock 2 or 3 down on thier ass in a shift, let alone his fighting. Oh and cant forget when he blew thier team on thier ass he would even score, talented isnt he?
another scrap where clark was gi ving up a huge size disadvantage. Probert's also one of the best tactical fighter, destroying lots of superheavy's in the process.
That second fight Probie was just about to run the table for about 30 seconds like he usually does during the 2nd half of his fights....hope you sent those linesmen a Christmas card, Wendell.
Clark was the man, we all know it. He busted he knuckles every game to save the leaf's face. Every team need's a player like Clark. Domi was the last for the leafs and he didn't come close to filling the boots that Clark wore.
Sundin, YOU SUCK as a captain. The only time you put your %110 in was when you were playing for Sweden during IIHL. Gilmore you tried. Rickey was a pretty good captain but nothing compares to Clarkey!!
Krawnikal...I wonder why they moved the Wings to another division? Because the Red Wings Stunk against the Leafs year after year.And didn't make it past the first round.They did it because of the MARKET and didn't want the curse of being beat every year haha.
I love both combatants but I gotta say the four times that they fought I would say that Clark won 2, Probert won 1 and a draw. If Clark had his quick burst at the beginning and lands several punches than he tends to win, but if the fight gets over around 30 seconds than Probert starts to land the most shots (like the annoucer said hes a late fighter).
Two very different fighting styles, but they are undoubtedly two of the greatest fighters of all time.
He knocked big Wade Belak, Scott Parker on their ass. Pummeled Mel Angleste, Stu Grimson all as a Blackhawk. You may not like Probert but watch some of his tributes and then tell me he never won a fight as a Blackhawk. Played in the leauge for 20 years over 300 fights. The numbers speak for themselves. I think he just lost interest playing for a no contending team.
I would dare say that if Probie played for the Queefs, all their fans would adore him! The first fight Clark got off like 10 punches that did nothing, Probie dropped him with one punch! Must've been the coke? Yeah right..
Second fight could've gone either way but the refs saved Clark's ass when they jumped in as Probie got his right loose.
Ppl who root for the little guy are little ppl themselves. Respect Clark all you want, but as a fighter he was nothing more than a punching bag....
Why am I a testament to that? Because I have a differing opinion? When did Clark have a decisive win over Probie? Did Clark ever fight Probie away from MLG? Oh, I forgot Probie scored the last goal ever at MLG.... People are allowed to have their opinion. Mine just happens to differ from yours. I'm stupid? Right....
What the fuck's wrong with winnipeg? Wasn't toronto the one who started the whole gay parade thing? Wendell likes guys, stop being so insecure about some other dude's sexuality as if it were your own, fuckin toronto make-beleives fan, when's the last time they won the cup? 42 years ago?lol
GSRou812 called me a D-I-N-K! Ouch, man.Don't know if i'll recover from that insult.That was an insult, right?
I love the defenders of guys like Clark or Domi always fall back on the size of their guy.Did Clark have to fight? No. He chose to fight, sometimes to his demise.Being smaller in a hockey fight doesn't mean shit.If all you had to do is be big to be good, then the Swede from Philly would've killed them all.
Ever notice Leaf fans that all of the fights were at Leafs home.Why do you suupose that is?Ever notice most of Wendy's fights were at home?Wonder why that is?He may have suffered from the Neely complex.
Clark was loved beacause he was not the biggest guy and he was'nt the team goon....yet he fought every teams goon who was usally twice his size. And I worked at Kingston Ontarios Dennys for a'while and in the off season he would come in every weekend and have breakfest with his hot as hell wife. Nicest guy ever.....I dare you to call him Wendy to his face you internet keyboard coward!!!
there's a thin line between "when you fight wendel be ready" and getting sucker punched.if these fights had been a little longer, we'd be referring to him as the "late" wendel clark.
whatever, I'm not going to argue the point.I think Bob was a much better fighter than Wendel and if these fights had not been broken up, Wendel would've been hurt.
Clark had incredible instincts in knowing when a fight is going to happen. I dont think anyone ever could drop the mitts faster then Clark. When you fight Wendel, you better be ready.
ever notice all of his fights were at toronto?wonder why wendy didn't drop them when they used to play on the same division all those games at the jla.......hhhmmmm.......
I haven't seen these guys fight for years. I remembered Probert throwing Clark like a rag doll, but not in this one. Does anyone have the fight where Probert beats Clark?
i love wendell clark...but give me a break. He was holding on for dear life in round 2. Great all around player with a ton of heart. He would have been a great Bruin! Too bad his back was all fucked up. If he were healthy, he could have put up Neely like numbers.

Ahh good ole cokehead Bobby getting pummelled by a guy 5 inches shorter and 40 lbs lighter.
Clark had more hockey talent in his baby-toe than Probert had in his whole body.
Never was the same after Ewen KOed him.
What a disappointment he was to Blackhawk fans, never won a fight in a Chicago jersey. Pretty sad really.
