As far as Brashear goes, do you still think he's at #2? He definitely was at one point but I'm not so sure now. McGratton should probably be on that list somewhere.
When Kevin Bieksa is pissed off, I wouldn't be surprised if he was top 10.

McGratten is probably around 6-7. Orr beat him decisivly. Bieska is nowhere near top 10, although the Canucks have Rypien who is probably the best middleweight. You to take into account weight classes matters alot.
Brashear got knocked down a peg in the hockeyfights world when Belak ko'd him last year but he's still fantastic. Laraque isn't looked upon too highly because he throws two punches and then wrestles the guy to the ice but he's damn good. Based on this years fighting records, Orr is probably the top guy right now with wins over Koci, Parros, McGratten and Carkner. This year could be the toughest year ranking guys because there really isn't a dominate guy and it's hard to rank Laraque #1 when he A) doesn't play, B) doesn't fight when he does play) C) Has only fought Orr and Erskine and really wasn't dominate in either fight.
