@boston4877 Yeah and what sucked is when idiot linesmen like Kevin Collins would jump in just as guys like Probert and Langdon were starting to tune the guy. Officials shouldn't jump in until one guy is soundly beaten down or both guys gas. So many of Proberts fights were stopped early because his tactic was to let the guy tire. Both McSorley and Langdon had great cardio too and I used to get pissed when refs would break up their fights as they were making a big comeback.

@darlow1 Curt Fraser beat him too. And his fight with Bob Nystrom was one of the best draws ever.

This is a good rebuttal for the twist worshippers. Like the grim reaper, you can't just act like a ton of losses in first part of career did not happen.

@susdlnskafw This is before Twist got all huge and shit. McKenzie was one of the toughest guys in the league in 1992.

In this great tilt McKenzie was throwing his punches from better position usually.
TKO-win J.McKenzie.

Agreed. Even Dave "The Hammer" Schultz agrees and said Playfair's punches would sting.

mckenzie did well against twist; he was surprisingly good as a scrapper

everyone loses I agree...but I guarentee you that for every fight you can find that Joey Kocur lost, I will find 3 losses for any guy you say that is tougher. Even Bob Probert conceded that Joey lost fewer fights because he wasnt someone that waited for an opening like Probert. Jay Miller and Probert were late fighters...like Langdon of the Rangers. thaeyd let you tire out then nail you.
The pre juiced Twist gets his ass kicked... again.

When he was in his prime, Larry Playfair was easily in the top five, if not #1. Noone wanted to fight the guy. He did lose to Brian Mcclellan once, but aside from that, I dont remember him losing another fight. He was pretty much untouchable.
