Best fighter in the NHL currently?
- Thread starter TimeZone
- Start date
I think Lucic has focused more on Hockey than fighting, but I would agree that Reaves is ahead right now due to activity, guy is a beast.
I haven't kept up with the Knights enough to know how much / if he's playing, but I still think Deryk Engelland should be on the list.

Mark Boroweicki is the best grappler imvho. Devastating throws from the clinch. Most hockey players don't have the skills to defend against those throws.

If he has to fight, I don't think anyone can beat Zdeno Chara.
Lucic is pretty scary, and so is Kyle Reeves.
Bieksa's been entertaining with his "Superman" punch also - especially when he dropped Gudas. Could become as legendary as Ox Baker's "Heart Punch!"

I could probably see putting him above Tocchet or maybe Miller. Again, it changes for me quite often when i go look at old videos. Honestly, Twist is probably top 3-4.

Really? I thought it was the other way around. I think they've only fought once.

I guess it depends on your age for the all time list cause theres a ton of guys that were way tougher than the late 90s guys you guys are listing , Bobby Clarke for 1 , Gary Dornhaufer for another , how about little Tiger Williams ? and Rocket Richard may have been the toughest sonofabitch to ever lace up the skates . These guys fought like men without helmets and face shields as well .
As for current players you don't see a lot of your picks wanting to drop the mitts with Matt Martin .

Tough? Absolutely. Best fighters? Nah. Tiger was decent though. Bobby Clarke lost much more than he won, though same with Dornhaufer. Tough has nails dudes though, but from a fighting stand point... not the best or even remotely top 30-40 guys.
Dude, Matt Martin scares nobody in the current top 10. They've already either fought and beat him, or he's turned them down like he has with Lucic ever since he was an islander. Adam McQuaid throttled him last year, too (Martin came off the bench and challenged him at the end of his shift, too). I do like Matt Martin, but he's not that great of a fighter. Decent in todays NHL though.

Must be a Panthers fan. Worrell had some good years but didn't last long. No way is paul laus that high but he usually is underrated.

I like it, but I think Darren Langdon deserves to be in there. He fought and often beat the best of them. He could go forever without getting tired too. One of the most underrated fighters of our time.

I absolutely agree on Langdon, he's one of my bubble guys. He's actually very good buddies with my cousin back in Corner Brook, NL. Super nice dude.
I always thought he and Shawn Thornton had very similar styles. Technically such good fighters, despite not being the biggest HW's out there.

Other guys who I think could beat most guys on any given night:
Link Gaetz (Legitimate lunatic)
Nick Fotiu
Derek Boogaard
Marty McSorley

My only real gripe with Ryan Reaves is how he's acting now that 99% of legitimate enforcers are out of the NHL. The guy beats up a lesser guy, and stares down the bench or acts like it's no big deal. I understand that he CAN do that now that the tougher guys have been weeded out, but he would never do that 5-6 years ago. In fact, he was a lot more tame back then.
That said, there's no real denying that he's the top dog right now.

There was a time when McQuaid had that "Just don't..." rep
s
Bieksa needs to be in the conversation, that's one guy who is a skilled puncher, legitimate knock out out power.
