Except Olivier did this going up in size vs Rempe tooAnd this is why weight classes exist, no matter how good of a fighter you are.
They’re both “heavyweights”. It’s not necessarily height but lbs. Olivier is 230lbs and Rempe is 255lbs.Except Olivier did this going up in size vs Rempe too
Olivier is currently the best fighter in the NHL, plain and simple
He probably has the most impressive fight card this year but he's definitely not plain and simple the best fighter in the league. He's in the conversation but I'd like to see him fight any of Reaves, Deslauriers, McIlrath or MacDermid. Two of those guys along with Johnston and Schenn beat Olivier last year. The win over Xhekaj was impressive but the two fights last night were gimmes for him. Of course, Olivier is actually a good player while those other guys are lucky to be in the league.Olivier is currently the best fighter in the NHL, plain and simple
On RDS Olivier said Xhekaj is the only one who always says yes.He probably has the most impressive fight card this year but he's definitely not plain and simple the best fighter in the league.

I'm basing it off the fact that Deslauriers, Johnston and Schenn all beat Olivier last year. They were all close fights though. I also wouldn't say Rempe beat Deslauriers, maybe a draw though. The logic you're using to say Olivier would beat Deslauriers and Johnston doesn't really work for fighting anyhow. There's a lot variables involved.On RDS Olivier said Xhekaj is the only one who always says yes.
So, I'd assume he's tried to challenge some of the others.
Based on how Rempe beat Deslauriers, but Olivier beat the breaks off Rempe, I'd say Olivier is tougher, or rather the better fighter.
Xhekaj tied Johnston if I'm not mistaken, so based on that Olivier would beat Johnston.
Olivier vs Schenn would be a sick fight.
