HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 Fair enough, as long as you admit that Lucic is a bad person as well as a hater of small children. BTW, am I being biased here on Lucic? WOULD NEVER! He is a fine young man and could run for Prime Minister of the great north lands of the north we call...CANADA. Lucic is an all around good player and wish the Wings would get a guy just like him. We need that kind of force out there (who fights here and there and wins some ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 It's hard for a lot of us to make an all-time list when we weren't alive to watch many of the fighters before Probert. I don't know if Orr would make the list of best fighters all time, but I think he is currently the best enforcer in the league. His fighting style is very offensive and this makes him prone to getting tagged and losing. However, he has a good win percentage and isn't afraid to force the issue. Unfortunately, I was too young to follow hockey when Probie played for the Wings, so I sadly don't have those kinds of memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey God 9 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 No votes for Chara? nvm this is a all time list even if it wasnt he still wouldnt be in it, personally i hate chara as player, i think the way he plays is kinda lazy and he could be so much better 1 HankthaTank reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 I wish Chara would fight more often.He reminds me of Ericsson in the sense that he's massive,but we rarely see him get mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 You don't have to have been alive. Go to youtube or dropyourgloves.com, and you can watch pretty much any great fighter from the 70's onwards, and watch many of their fights. Just like it is with people who say they don't know Marlon Brando or John Wayne because they weren't alive back then. Doesn't make a difference when they existed, as long as footage of them is still around. I've watched a lot of the old fights online. However, I like watching the games and seeing how the fighters enforcers played. I don't think I've watched enough of the old fighters to make an informed list because I usually just watch the names I've heard of before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 I think that Chara will never be an effective enforcer. Firstly, he is one of his team's best players, so even if he wins, his team still loses in a sense. Also, he tends to use his wrestling background a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 Well when Chara's pissed,he'll go with anyone.I specifically remember when he fought Donald Brashear a couple of years ago back when Brashear was a Washington Capital.And then there was the infamous pummeling of David Koci back when Koci was a Chicago Blackhawk.He's willing to throw with anyone if you get him pissed enough,but it doesn't happen often at all.

newfy 695 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 Chara is one of the best fighters in the league I would say, but not near the best enforcer. When Chara is pissed, he is a force to be reckoned with and there is not a lot of guys in the league I wouldn't pick him to win a fight over. But like was said before, he is too good to be a legit enforcer or anything because he is a legit number 1 defenseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Kocur has to be in the top 5. Even Bob Probert himself said Kocur was the toughest fighter he had ever seen. Although Probert himself is clearly number 1 on that list. Edited July 22, 2010 by TheDetroitRedWings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 Kocur is definitely top 5.In my mind,Probert's a no-brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although Probert himself is clearly number 1 on that list. Yeah Kocur just for having the greatest right hand of all time gets the nod for me. When he was with Detroit in his prime he had Probie too so he didn't have to enforce as much as he would and could've shown his ability better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wally42 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2010 Chara is one of the best fighters in the league I would say, but not near the best enforcer. I don't know about that Chara can wrestle guys down but he rarely lands a good punch. When you're that big you sacrifice coordination Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
