Ray Lewis >>>>> Any supposed "badass" Canadian goon

Football players specialize in injuring people in situations where they can't hit back. Hockey players specialize in even matchups.

Maybe so, but I'd still put my money on Ray Ray against any hockey player.

Ray Lewis = 6'1
Derek Boogaard = 6'8

Not sure it'd be as close as you'd think it is. Hockey players professionally fight all the time, football players stand around and be fat.

Dude, Ray Lewis murders people. Literally.

He was acquitted. And he used a knife in the charges. Doesn't sound like a very tough guy if he needs to resort to knives to attack someone.

You act like no hockey players have been charged with similar crimes...

On skates or not?

Also, Ray Ray is not drastically oversized compared to some of the stronger NHL players. Wikipedia has his weight as 250, which is on the high end, but not out of this world.

And unlike Ray Ray, hockey players actually get into fistfights.

Sounds like a smart move to me. Murder ain't supposed to be fair, son.

On skates or not?

Not. Hockey players obviously stack up better on skates.

Also, Ray Ray is not drastically oversized compared to some of the stronger NHL players.

I'm not choosing Lewis based on size. I'm choosing him based on bloodlust.

We're talking about a man-on-man fight. Take your average hockey player and your average football player, put them in a bar and tell them to fight. Guarantee you the hockey players would come out on top.

This is hockey.



If you look closely near the end, Mike Milbury (now a TSN/NBC commentator) removes a fan's shoe and proceeds to beat him down with it.

Dude, Ray is a bit of a badass, but there are some ****ing MEAN hockey players.

I seriously don't think that Ray against an average enforcer would be all that one-sided, in either direction.

[Drake Tungsten]

Dude, Ray is a bit of a badass, but there are some ****ing MEAN hockey players.

You're welcome to your opinion, but the one professional athlete (excluding boxers or MMA fighters) that I would be most scared to fight is Ray Lewis. Dude is scary.

Here's a children's hockey game. Canadian teenagers vs Russian/Soviet teenagers.

A true classic.
