Fighter? None.

Best grappler and tigger of jerseys then that's open to debate.

We'all never see 90's and 00's fights again. Legislating it out of the game.

Iggy can still throw down can't he? Never was the best fighter in the 2000s, but must be up there now that fighting is incredibly rare

eh I'm OK with that. 90% of those fights were staged. I like fights where it's part of the game.

It's Chara, his reach and size provides a huge advantage in the context of a hockey fight.

If you don't mind including a guy in the AHL who has played a handful of NHL games this season, I'd go with Gazdic.

Gazdic or Reaves are the answers. Chara? Grappling contest. Igilna? LOL. Nowadays you can include Engelland and Neil too and Lucic.

Thorburn. I've seen him absolutely bludgeon other guys' fists with his face in ways no one else does.

What's the point of a fight if they are throwing punches to a helmet and shield?

You can't remove helmets, linesmen actively try and break it up....
