I look a lot into fights and Rypien is somebody I have really liked. I love that he is such a small guy and he's dishing out the poundings he is. He is an absolute maniac when he drops the gloves. I'd love to have this guy on my team. Lot of heart from him.
Wouldn't call him the best fighter in the NHL, even pound-for-pound though.

I watched that fight live... it got so one sided that I had to turn away.
yeah, I cant think of another guy off the top of my head who is as good a fighter as rypien is in that weight class.
The guy has got to stay healthy though. That's been a major problem for him.

How would you even determine the best pound-for-pound fighter in hockey? It's not like enforcers lose/gain weight to fight smaller/bigger opponents.
yea how do you determine something like that?... rypien can take on tootoo though no problem
if only he had some reach, he would be lethal

Rypien, Reich and Asham are P2P some of the tougher guys in the league.
And Hal Gill
yeah, asham is another one... but I havent heard much from him lately... where is he now anyways?
Here's a couple other Rypien fights. All these guys have several inches and 30 pounds on him.

Don't know if he's the best, but he's good.

really... rypien's technique would beat tootoo if the fight lasts more than 5-10 seconds...
tootoo's fights are quick, throws the jabs and tries to take the guy down, and he's really good at that, but i think if rypien can hold off that first flurry it will be his fight to lose
hopefully, we will see

Frankie Bouillon at 5'8 deserves mention too, also probably one of the hardest hitters in the league.
I love Bouillon because he's one of the few NHLers who actually goes for bodyshots. Very underrated style of fighting.

P2P hahahahahaha
Yes,
he is the only pugilist that has a proper fighting technique, he throw jabs, crosses, and uppercuts in a dash that sets him apart from other fighters and properly blocks at incoming punches. He challenged Phaneuf last night but Phaneuf wanted no part of him.

Rypien may be known for being a tough guy, but he's got Bertuzzi-esque hands.He was a dynamite sniper with the Regina Pats in junior
He's a middle-weight, in his class of fighters he could be one of the better ones but the best? No. That's still Laraque overall.
