Nilan is the man! The guy could knock anyone out anywhere anytime!

Bob Probert was one tough son of a....

He wins against anyone, but the list doesn't have enough Lyndon Byers

 

[Reaper45]

Tough one with Proby, Marty, and Tiger...

 

[Malefic74]

Dave Brown. Nobody wanted a piece of the guy. Nobody. Anybody willing to do so once never asked for the privilege again. Am I right Jim Kyte?

 

[Accord]

Probert.

 

[tinyzombies]

I'll take Kordic against all those guys.

 

[BuppY]

Bob Probert!!

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Looks like Probert's gonna run away with this one. Maybe I should have made it the second best scrapper of the eighties.

 

[adurn]

Kocur not on the list? He'd be my pick.

 

[tripledekehockey]

i have to go with probert here

 

[DaaaaB's]

I went with Probert but Behn Wilson and Dave Brown aren't far behind. Those three are probably the three best fighters of all-time. Tiger Williams was more of a 70's fighter although he fought a lot in the 80's as well. A couple of names that should be added to the list are Jay Miller and Joey Kocur.

Gotta go with Probert - although Brown was a scary SOB as well.

How could you be a habs fan and not choose Nilan

Probert but Jay Miller should be on that list.

Hockey fans who SAW these guys fight will answer with the truth. Nilan was a great fighter, but he wasn't the greatest.

Pretty much.

I went with Semenko. Maybe he was just more of a deterrent than anything. But no one went after Gretzky unless they had a death wish. Just wondering if there was ever a fight between him and Probert though? That's have been a beauty.

Phil, I was just wondering the same thing, there must have been a small cross-over of careers there, and wouldn't you imagine those two big animals chuckin them like a couple of dandies??

Because he isn't a homer.

Probert.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

i KNEW I should have included fist-tastic Mike Modano and his fierce canine companion Anastasia-Priscilla instead of that wimpy McRae. Then maybe Probert wouldn't have been such a shoo-in. Oh well, l'll know better next time.

 

[Pepper]

I think Probert's best days were during the early nineties, in the 80's I think Dave Brown was better.

 

[Rex88]

I saw alot of these guys fight and I think Brown gets my vote

 

[Goodwith Sticks]

I'll take Kordic against all those guys.

But my vote was Probert and it was made quickly
