Well it's more of a guide than actual evidence, I mean there really isn't a stat to track toughness

 

[Centericedone]

The penalty box should be decorated with flowers now and have violins playing..

Jon Mirasty & Jeremy Yablonski both tough as nails but pretty much career minor leaguers.

They’re both from the same town, too.

DJ King is from the same town as well. I'm pretty sure Mirasty and Yablonski are cousins.

Probably could add one of the top heavies from his era Orland Kurtenbach, DJ King was a really good fighter, and you can’t leave Terry Ruskowski off the list. Oh and Ron Delorme was from North Battleford.
