Fighting out of: Representing the Team 187 Fight Camp in Denver Colorado, by way of the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York
Carmelo "Mellow" Anthony (we got to work on dude's nickname) has one fight, a no decision, under his belt. But his fight was at the Mecca. He traded hands under the bright lights of Broadway in Madison Square Garden.
You remember, Knicks vs Nuggets, 2006. A lot of pundits gave the Knicks the win on the fight. But if you look at the tape again, Melo took a very mature approach to the fight. He found himself dep in enemy territory. So he hooked Mardy Collins, and then tried to bait him back into Carmelo's corner. Watch any experienced MMA fighter, and you'll see him work to get the fight back into his corner. This gives your coaches a better view of the fight, and lets them talk you through the brawl. Meanwhile, any member of the Knick...

He threw a wimpy punch and ran. If anyone came out of that fight looking tough it was Nate Robinson. Put him on your list.

it's gotta be Artest #1 challenger...christ sakes

No orions. Charles Oakley is the top dog. He beat up a Clippers player outside of the Staples Center for messing with his ex-girl. Artest would be 3 or 4 on my list. Old schoolers like Maurice Lucas are tougher than today's players.

I had a tough time getting any young bucks on the list. It's a lot of cats from the 70's and 80's.

ah, good call, Lucas...and Kermit Washington!....remember that Tomjonavich punch...shattered his whole face...Oakley was a tough SOB, but not top 10 for me...Shaq?

He wasn't running, he was working on his cardio! But there are names on this list that would eat Ron-Ron for lunch.

What is this Red Hook Brooklyn crap? Mello is from Baltimore. Doesn't anyone remember the "Stop Snitchin'" video?

I went with the info up on Wikipedia. Thought it sounded wrong, but anonymously edited webpages are infallible!

Who was it that straight punched out Rudy Tojonovich or whatever the former Rockets coach when the won their championships? Tree Rollins maybe?

Kermit Washington. The list got put on hold, I'm resetting and bringing it back next week.
-
dang, note to self: read the whole new posts on the thread flow, before saying Kermit above...hey, this is good S***, lol
-
shoot, said it above, Kermit Washington

you gotta put my boy stack jack on this list!

PreGame: Knicks at Jazz
Tough back-to-back for the Knicks (and for me...woke up in sunny California, stepped off a plane in snow. So it goes).
Expect to see a lot more of that zone, especially with Knick-killer Kyle Korver (lotta Ks there) on the floor. Mardy Collins is still starting at the point, but Isiah Thomas hinted ...
