There's a fight of Brown vs. George Mcphee on youtube, I recommend anyone who is a fan of NHL fights to look up Mcphee. He was only listed as 5'9 175lbs. However the guy had to be the best pound for pound fighter of his time. He had some classics with some heavyweights, The Toccett fight was one of the all time best.

Yeah, McPhee was a tough mofo for his size. I watched that Tocchet fight.....is nuts.

I first saw George McPhee play in a 1984 rookie game between the Rangers and Devils at Totowa Ice World. Needless to say, he got thrown out for brawling with a guy named Greg Evtushevski. He was a Hobey Baker award winner, I believe, at Bowling Green Univ. Career cut short due to injuries.

I forgot about that, he was once the Hobey Baker winner. Real tough player, he fought Nystrom, Brown, Toccett x 2 and more than held his own. GM of the Capitals now.
