Wendel Clark in the top 10, wtf?! Anyone that has him in their top 10, hell even top 30, should re-evaluate themselves. Tocchet was a better fighter than him and he's not in my top 30.

Rob666, first that is a lousy screen name, second Kocur #1 and Berube in your list? Do you watch much hockey? Kocur was a great fighter but not a top 10, Dave Richter used to kick his a@#, so did Wendall Clark and they were cousins! Knocking out Jim Kyte does nothing for me. Berube, okay so he beat Probert, once, breaking his nose. Lyndon Byers broke Berubes cheek does that put byers in the top ten?? Behn Wilson was hands down the best fighter, Probert fought more and won more, then you have Dave Brown. Period end of story

You couldn't be more wrong & if you're gonna criticize guys, at least spell players names correctly.

Agreed, Kocur fought just as many if not more than Probert. The guy had a freaking iron fist. It wasn't knicknamed "The hammer" for nothing. Craig Berube I'll admit, he was fun to watch but he wasn't Probie, Kocur, Miller, Domi material.

...and as far as I know, Clark and Kocur never fought in the NHL, because they were cousins. Not a great post, thedanbman. But don´t let that discourage you. It can only get better from now on.

I like your list, one question, did Semenko deserve the nod over Domi? I would put Domi 9th or 10th like in my list, but I never saw much of Semenko, only from current internet videos. Thoughts?

Rob, Is this an All Time list or just 80's to the present? Just curious.... No Wilson, Nystrom, Gillies, Playfair?

It's mt all-time list. For starters I feel they didn't fight enough. I have a good 40 Gillies fights but the main issue is I don't have enough career stuff from these guys to make an accurate read on them. I do believe Gillies, Wilson etc. were all top-10 all-time material but lack of footage and fights leads me to place them lower.

[Big Mac 24]

Blouin, valid point!

My 10 as you probably realised is mainly based on a combination of lack of defeats and the intimidation factor. All of the 10 guys on my list "maybe"? with the exception of Brashear, were guys who were generally left alone as guys knew how dangerous they all were - Hence I guess a lack of fights in some cases like Playfair, Gillies Fotiu etc. Sleeping Giants and all that. As we know from their records, they were all rarley beaten in their primes and even after that.

If i was to base my 10 on fighting and winning ability alone, Domi would get in the 10 but I just think he wasn't as intimidating as Semenko and co, plus got beaten more often. Not a knock on Domi, think he was amazing, especiall considering his size but in my eyes he was never as much as a deterrent as any of the guys in my top 10.

Take away the intimidation element, basing it on fighting skills and wins, my 10 would read more like this:

Probie
Brown
Wilson
Kocur
Gillies
Playfair
Simon
McKenzie
Berube
Domi

That's a bit more of a personal like list, and I would always use list 1 when rating my top 10 ever. Feedback welcome.
