[@pjpredhomme7699]

that is true -remember he was drafted as a defenseman but your right he threw some vicious body checks - very tough guy - the story of him beating up on Probert is ridiculous but doesn't discount the fact that he took on many much bigger men many nights and never backed down, Wendel was a hockey player first and foremost - he got ruined by bad management and coaching - think about it - he is the # 1 overall pick in the draft and you use up that skill on fighting guys much bigger night after night - i think we are the same age i think he was drafted in 84 or 85 - and he was a shell of himself by 1990 - isn't that when he got traded for Sundin ?

Clark was much smaller, but a very strong guy. Probert had power either way.

[@mattjvictory]

@@83reggieT No excuses. Bob Probert was the worst gimmick fighter with his vanishing jersey. He was such an amazing fighter but loses multiple cred points for fighting with that gimmick. Of these fights, Probert won one clean, I'd say Clark won two and a draw in the fourth. Either way, Clark won the series IMO.

The only one that you could say Clark won was the first fight from 1992, and I’m not so sure he won that one. Probert nailed him good near the end. You really see that on other videos of the fight. Clark gets credit for taking him on but that’s about it

Fought Mcsorley 4 times as well. That's 8 fights against Probert and Mcsorley. He only lost one. That was against Probert and Clark needed a trainer to tie up his skates before the game(that's according to Don Cherry in a Coaches Corner segment-and Cherry loved Probert). Clark was definitely one of a kind.

Probert, often picked up as a fight would wear on. Clark, was most dangerous early, then would tire fast. Sometimes these fight highlights don't give the proper context. Injuries on a given night, late in the shift etc.

[@pjpredhomme7699]

@@nthdegree1269 the truth is he was a pretty easy going guy most of the time it took him a little bit to get into the mood usually and once the other guy had taken a few shots he would be ready to fire - he was a tough enough kid that he could do that - Ive heard russ courtnall say how wendel kicked the shit out of probert over the past couple of years - and i have been thinking -really I'm the same age and i watched most of those games - i don't remember that at all but Courtnall would have been on the ice - so who was i to say - now i see what they are talking about - the way its described by leaf fans is completely detached from reality . I give plenty of props to Wendel - he was giving away at least five inches and probably 30 lbs or more - he was an awfully tough guy no question about that and that wrist shot was world class. Glad i got to see these - the way "Wendel could kick the shit out of Probert" is what i have heard - and its laughable to call it that way - in the one fight he jumped on him early kept his head down and hit him with some punches that is about there was too it - it is not like it even winded him - with the types of teams they have had since 67 - i guess you have to make the most out of the things you have to feel good for
