Can anyone think of any to be added to this list:
Andrei Nazarov- The league's first- and only Russian enforcer
Krzysztof Oliwa- "The Polish Hammer" won it all in 2000 with the Devils
David Koci- Current Colorado Avalanche member
Raitis Ivanans- Was legitimately 263 pounds at one point.
Sami Helenius- The big Finn

OT. Btw... do you guys also think as I do, that enforcers (not only european) usually have very cool names? Koci, Oliwa, Ivanans, Valabik but also Konopka and many others :yo:
 
The big Finn Sami Helenius did some enforcing for the Avs and the Stars at the turn of the century.

Not really an enforcer but Roman Vopat was a middleweight scrapper.

After the bold part, it is all either trolling or being completely clueless.

It's not trolling or useless at all. It's my opinion that he is a bully. He doesn't try and fight heavy weights, but instead picks fights with guys that he knows he can beat. Look at who he's fought:
Rivet- Won
Mair- Lost
Komisarek (x2)- Won both
Boynton- Won
Orr- Lost
Witt- Won
Boulton- Lost
Tim Wallace??- Won
Neil- Draw
Brown- Draw
Oreskovic- Won
Melichar- Won
Lapierre (LOL)- Won
Harrison- Won
Crombeen- Won
Boll- Lost

Other than Orr, Boll, Boulton, Neil and Crombeen none of those guys are real fighters. He just picks fights with guys he knows he can beat, plain and simple. And yes, he has a lot of wins, but look who they're against. None of them are what you'd consider fighters and the times he fights real heavyweights he gets beat.

First off, Lucic beat Boll and Mair, but this isn't about how good of a fighter he is.

Off the top of my head Lucic has fought:
Orr
Ivanans
Brookbank
Erskine
Clarkson
Bell
Tarnasky
Winchester

But yeah, all those guys like 150 lbs and never fight. Right?

Lucic is 22 and look at the guys he's fighting guy is going to be one heck of a customer. He won the fight againgst Mair. Name a better enforcer at the age of 22?

Stop right there.

Lucic is not a heavyweight. He has a career 1.35 PIM/gm... compare to Boll's 2.55, Neil's 2.54, Orr's 2.41, Boulton's 2.26.

Expecting him to go out and battle goons all night is ridiculous and takes his fights completely out of context. Especially considering he's perennially battling injuries to his hands and face, which makes it even less likely he would go out and pick a fight with a plug like Boll.

Artyukhin beat Chara in a fight once.

Not much of a "win", just a few jabs and a takedown. Chara gave as good as he got against Artyukhin's visor.
