Val James

[BobbyAwe]

What is everyone's opinion on James? I honestly never heard of him until I came across a clip of him TKO'ing O'Reilly - in which he looked pretty ominous. Never saw Terry handled so easily. Checked out his other fights on YouTube and he was definately GOOD, but IMO, Kordic and Fraser outpointed him in 2 minor league scraps.

Obviously not a "player" - 14 total NHL games with 3 fights and NO points.

Played for the Sabres. Could use him

He wrote an autobiography with the late ESPN's John Saunders that I highly recommend. According to him at least, he was one of the toughest fighters of his era.

He was one of the toughest fighters of his era IMO.

I don't hold a loss to John Kordic against anyone. If you can hold your own against that Steroid/cocaine fueled rocket you don't need to prove yourself to the likes of me.

My only memory of him is footage of John Brophy demonstrating clearing the front of the net and using James as a prop at a leaf practice. Looked funny, but James was probably embarrassed

James did not fight enough to be a top notch heavyweight.
