    In the book about Rudy T and Kermit Washington (The Punch?), it was stated that no player of his generation wanted to fight Calvin Murphy because he was a Golden Gloves boxer.

    Pretty good in a brawl.

    I can't remember: Who's face was it that Calvin machine gunned (with his fists) the one time?

    Kendall Gill has been seriously training in BJJ and Vale Tudo for years. I would put him and his training against anyone.

    Thanks. Sidney Wicks from UCLA, another guy who never panned out like so many thought he would.

    Artest is MadMax's illegitimate child.

    For better or worse, taught him everything he knows.

    More likely Bill Laimbeer on that team. He was in ALL the fights.

    Don't forget Ainge practically biting off Tree Rollins' finger.

    CALVIN MURPHY!

    However, here's my list of NBA players in which I'd want no part of:

    Vernon Maxwell: Whether in the stands or in a Luby's parking lot, you want no part of Mad Max. Especially in a Luby's parking lot.

    Eddie Griffin: if he'll shoot at his girlfriend, I know he'll shoot at my smack talking white ass.

    Ruben Patterson: I don't want to be forced to perform oral sex on him.

    my list of super brawlers....

    ron artest
    charles barkely
    charles oakley
    bill lambier
    vernon maxwell
    rick mahorn
    calvin murphy -- i think everyone else has covered it
    Armen Gilliam -- barkley talked about him in a book, dude went after someone with machete one time...classic, and was great boxer

    anthony mason -- not sure about his fight history but the guy was rugged, would have been a great brawler

    karl malone
    john stockton -- i know he wasn't a fighter but the guy was nails. he was dirty and tough.

    larry bird -- people tend to forget about his demeanor on game day sometimes. this man would talk trash to you all game, score 30 on you, and punch you right in the face if neccessary.

    Charles Barkley - any guy that can tackle Shaq is bad in my book

    More like the guy HAD nails. Not to mention he used to love holding onto other players' shorts. What a fruit

    "Akeem" was half crazy. ESPN showed an NBA fight montage a few years ago and showed Akeem walking up to this guy and slapping the taste out of his mouth.

    I'm going with the gun-totin' duo of Jayson Williams and Eddie Griffin.

    Put a cap in yo ass!
