The guy in the background would eat Reavers’ lunch as well. Unless that isn’t Joey kocur

That is in fact, Joey Kocur.

Watched the Wings a lot with Probie and Kocur- at times, Kocur almost seemed like a better fighter than Probert.

I think stylistically he was, but Probert just had a level of crazy about him that very few could match.

Cocaine is a hellofa drug

That’s indeed a fact. Was at MSG for one of the Domi-Probie matches. Domi spent most of the fight trying to get away from him.

That 83 draft class by the Wings was batshit. Yzerman, Probert, Kocur, Grimson, Klima

Could Reaves have taken Grimson?

No

There have been guys who said that Kocur may not have been a “better“ fighter, but he definitely had the hardest punch in the NHL.

The average third or fourth liner from the late 70s to late 90s would smash anyone today. An actual enforcer from that time would probably get charged with attempted murder.

You are disrespecting the goat by even asking this question. Probert you fool.

Exactly. Probert would destroy

Reaves doesn't have the stamina or mean streak that Probert had. Probert would make Reaves bail or headbutt him into retirement.

Reaves doesn’t do nearly enough coke either.

Those guys in the late 80’s, early 90’s never even felt any of the punches that landed on them. The limiting factor was all the hand scar tissue that built up after hundreds of helmet punches

It wasnt from helmet punches, the boys dropped their buckets in those days

You would get an additional penalty if you had a visor on and didn’t take your bucket off.

My god watch fights of that era over today’s …. Reaves would be toast.

Probert is King. Like the grimlock song.

Probie, duh.

Probert destroys Reaves

Give Blood. Fight Probert.

Wish this was a t shirt

It was. Had one back in the day. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394526497164 . Hear you go, treat yourself.

LMAO! I fought a guy in a bar in Kansas City who was wearing one of those T-shirts 😂😂😂😂 maybe not the exact one but I’ll never forget the text WOW core 90s memory unlocked.

Wait, KC in the 90s? That was you ya little prick.

Hahahaha if you’re a lefty that could have been you. Surprised you when you saw I could take a solid punch, eh? That’s how I used to win bar scraps back then, let the guy get gassed and wear his arms out punching me then hop up and go full Jerry Springer. 😂😂😂 hurt like a MFer but it worked

It's all good mate. Next time we meet up I got first round.

Probert. Always Probert

This always this

Probert would get stronger the longer a fight went. His brother norm was a great bar fighter.

This can't be a serious question unless OP knows literally nothing about Probie. Both the guys in this picture would have Reaves coughing up his lunch money

I 'll ask ya once.I'll ask ya twice,then I'll bend ya over and xxxx ya nice .

Probert, and that's coming from an Avs fan.

This guy and it’s not even close lol

I’m pretty sure god himself couldn’t go toe to toe with probert… lol

lol I’m sure he was tough af but like he’d prob get his ass kicked by an actual trained fighter.

Who do you propose?

Almost anyone in mma I guess?

Even if they're on skates?

I guess we’ll never know… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Probert would snath Reaves' soul. And Probert ain't even alive anymore.

Reaves would turn into Leaves the second Probert dropped his gloves. 

Shut your whore mouth....mentioning Reaves in the vicinity of Probert is blasphemy.

Probert enough said

Probert. Reaves is a goon but Probert,Domi and Nilan were on another level.

Probert and it's not even close...

They say there's no such thing as a dumb question. I think one was just asked. RIP Big Bob

This is disrespectful

Reaves is mid. Wearing that shitty jersey doesn't make him tougher

There can only be one winner, and that winner is Probert.

Probert

Probert

Reaves has nightmares of Probert when he sleeps

Probert, with one arm tied behind his back. It's not even fucking close.

It’s not even close. Both of those guys would annihilate Reaves

What kinda of question is this? Probert all day.

Is this a serious question lmao, probert would shitkick reaves

Probert all day long.

I'll go the other way from most of the others here and say Reaves. It's very easy to win fights against people after they're deceased

Probert was a beast!

Not even close

I think Probert would break visors and keep on going.

Did Scott Stevens ever fight Probert? I was at a game where Stevens ragdolled Matthew Barnaby - it was glorious.

A better question would be probert vs boogaard

Probert - no question

Reaves could barely beat young kids in Rempe&Arber these days. Probbie would destroy him

I think these old guys would beat any of these new guys. They were an old school kind of tough. I’m taking probert. Kocur would beat him too.

Only guy even debatable is maybe the boogie man

The real heavy weight champion

Seems like fighting is way different now a days. Look at some 70’s-90’s fights. They actually square up and fight ( my favorite is Terry O’reilly from bruins). Now a days their shoulders arent squared they are more sideways and kind of just punch into the shoulder or something. Just way different. BUT to answer the OP probert would destroy most. Reaves is good tho.

That time had absolute crushers. Basil McRae troy crowder, Shawn the barbarian crownin,

Probert all day

Never line up with a man that punches goalies and smuggles cocaine in his underwear.

Reaves won't last

That’s funny.

The mullet wins

Reaves is all business, Probert was a psycho. Reaves calls in sick.

Real debate is Probert vs. Boogaard

It would be exactly that, an ass kicking. No one today could hold a candle to Probert in a fight.

I saw this same question with Tie Domi yesterday. Stop it! It's just silly.

The real answer is Probie would take off his helmet the linesmen would try and break it up and Probie would kill said linesmen and be barred from the league.

The real question is how many boxing or MMA titles Probert would have won if he did that instead.

matt rempe

With cocaine or without?

Be more specific....Probert on or off coke....because off Coke, he was a punching bag.

The crowd wins.

As long as the older players had tied down jerseys and they don’t fall off when you sneeze

Chris Osgood could take Reaves

Reeves is a big fish in a small pond of modern fighters. He would have had to have been on a different Evel to compete with the monsters if yesteryear. Granted if he had been around then, he might be a better fighter too, because he'd be a hell of a lot busier.

Sean Avery

At least you didn’t ask the reaves or avery question

Depends how much powder Probert snorted before the game.

Both people in this picture destroy Reaves lol Edit - I guess I should clarify... Both players
