Of all the greatest players you've ever watched in the major sports, who would you want on your side in a bar fight?

by **DWags** Wed 30 Nov 2016 - 22:49

Pick a sport or two and give me a player. Lots of "all time greats" in each sport. From magic to bird to Jordan to Favre Butkus Barry Jim Brown to Howe Gretzky kaline Mantel whom ever. If it was you and one guy against five in a bar.

NBA- Isiaha Thomas. Fucker wouldn't lose
MLB -Gibson (is he an all time?). He's too intense
NFL -Ronnie Lott or Conrad Dobler both would die before they list.
NHL- Gordy. Just because.

nah, he didn't. It was his buddy, and from what I read he didn't witness it, but he helped conceal evidence.

I know I'm younger but I don't believe you. Probie was 6'4, 230 and out of his mind. Felt no pain. Howe was 6'0 and what, 190? Give my Probie by KO in the 2nd.

Isiah was 6 feet. I wouldn't fight that fucker. What he did on the ankle vs LA wasn't human.

In the limo I believe. I used to know this story really well and understand the plea bargains and everything. I forget it. But Lewis was much less complicit in what happened from what I recall than he is given credit for. Still a terrible thing for him to not be able to bring justice to the families of those who were killed. But people act like he was wielding the knife OJ style and that just wasn't anything close to the truth.

Yeah didn't Zeke clock Laimbeer in practice and he had to get stitches? I get your point. Some of these fuckers are ultra tough and Zeke would have killed his own brother to win games. I back that. But if we're talking a fight? I'll take fighters. Like for example I'd take Tito Ortiz over Ben Wallace circa 2004.

His boys didn't start the fight, but they ended it. He was there. Lied to the cops. Eventually rolled on his boys for a plea bargain. Jury acquitted them. Self defense.

Does this have to be pro sports? Cuz if not, I'd pick Hubert Boo Boo Thompson. He seemed like he could kill a motherfucker. I'd want him to like me.

Good call. I personally watched Boo Boo beat the living shit out of 6 frat boys. Yep, he dominated a six on one fight. ( granted they were frat boys).

Hubert then took off running when the cops were called. Running full speed into a parked police car. He was not very smart.

I was later dressed down by Nick Saban. He wanted to know what kind of a joint I was running. I asked him what kind of a kid he was recruiting.

True story.

Gordie Howe.

Saw him when was playing for Houston with his sons in his late 40's. He could hold his own against players 25 years younger. I could only imagine what he was doing when he was 25.

You can have Winston, I'll take Delton Williams.

Not sure who I'd want on my side, but I'd want to fight this thread because it sucks.

Probably Joey Kocer

A great quote was by some player when asked about Kocer and his fighting ability.

"When Joe Kocer hit you, you stayed hit".

Seriously though, the one and only answer is Mike Tyson in his prime.

It's not the size of the dog. No one was meaner tougher nastier than Gordie Howe. I saw them both and I give Probie no chance. Howe would take him out before Probert got a chance to snort his coke stash. KO'ed before Probert knew there was going to be a fight.

Actually, I ran into Saban months later at the Perles golf outing. He apologized to me.

And Boo Boo is in jail for killing a guy.

I had a whiskey and water with Perles once. He was laboring to breathe.

Seemed like my kinda guy, though.

Herschel Walker. Dude is 50 years old and still built like a tank. Years of punishment in Football (as a running back no less) were not enough for him, he got into MMA. Unbelievable!
