No, you really don't need to keep me in check, it's not your job. You're welcome to disagree but it's how you do it that gets on people's nerves.

Brashear didn't beat my favorite fighter, just so you know. Dave Brown is my favorite fighter with Probert a close 2nd. There are probably 50+ guys, if not more, who I like better than him but I give the devil his due.

I'm not worried about who he beat, he has a terriffic fight card and anyone acting the way he does would have a long line of guys lining up to try and kick his butt. It's why Marty clubbed him and it's why I have Marty ahead of him all-time at number 6 because Marty had more heart in his pinkie toe than Brash had in his his whole body. Marty clubbing Brash was akin to Domi sucker punching Ulfie, lots of guys wanted to do it and someone finally did and no matter what anyone says, they deserved what they got.

I know there are guys who were better than him and he comes in at number 7 and that's generous enough. I'm not going to supply all of the evidence of why he isn't higher, others have done that, I don't have the time for it, but I know his bails and fighting on his terms and the way he fought makes him not as good as the guys above him.

Being a Flyers fan myself, 5 of my favorites were Brown, Wilson, Schultz, Tocchet, and Berube, I SHOULD like Brashear but I don't care what team he plays for, the guy was an a$$hole, bottom line, and I never liked anyone like that. I don't doubt their talent though.
