I have a VHS tape somebody made, 2 hours of Probert and Kocur. watch that, drink whisky, eat steak = go looking for trouble.

@boudrozoltar best comment of all time..

@proton3227 lol fair enough -- but Nick was a HUGE disappointment when he left Manhattan. Never carried that mystique after he left. Pretty average in Hartford and very ineffective in Calgary

[proton3227]

@justice008a I'd say a little more than three.

[justice008a]

@proton3227 he sure did; it was one of Nicky's three career wins that he and his fans could be proud of

[proton3227]

@justice008a Nicky Fotiu beat him

@justice008a here is my list about fighters who never knocked down; Paul Laus(only Dadid Shaw shaked a big world with TKO'ing Lauser), Behn Wilson, Darren Langdon(Grimson TKO'd him but it was dirty win when GrimREaper jersyed him) ... Engelland is very good but not best IMO these days because if we goes looking to last season he had also a bit weak fights with some guys, but impressed me big time TKO'ing Colton Orr and edging him.

i remember Wilson lost narrowly to Gillies but he also won him.

[justice008a]

@MrJuha82 Jim McKenzie is the best 2-fisted fighter I've seen; he can demolish guys with both hands. Today's fights -- Deryk Engelland from PIT is the most talented. Very hard to hit, almost never loses and he's given out some real beatings. In the only NHL fight he's lost to Bissonnette if you look close he doesn't get hit with anything. The most talented all-time is Behn Wilson; never knocked down, never hurt, never given a black eye and won 95% of his career fights. Best by a wide margin

[MrJuha82]

@justice008a by the way(sorry if i waste your time) who are most talented hockey fighters ever??

I think there is guys like Laraque, Brashear, Probert, Brown, McGrattan, Gaetz, Kocur and Belak.

Also could mention even Langdon what comes at his ability to tied up opponents hands and ability to not get beated ever badly.

But not in same class than guys which i mentioned before him.

McGrattan is interesting to rank of all the time one because his career is short but who has done impressive job.

[MrJuha82]

@justice008a How u rank a guy like Brashear who never even loss?, he was Heavyweight Champion about 3-4 x in his career. Brash who did well with Probert, Domi, Ray, McCarthy, Cairns, Boogaard, Orr, Godard, Worrell, Laraque etch... more a hugger type but could throw a good flurries wirt hhis left hand.

THERE IS NO BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GUYS LIKE PROBERT, BROWN, WILSON AND BRASHEAR when is question about best fighter of all the time. PERIOD.

[justice008a]

@MrJuha82 before ranking him #1 you should also consider he used cocaine as a stimulant most of his career to wire himself up and also altered his jersey to come off easier; both things giving him an unfair advantage over other fighters
