Best ten fighters to have played in the UK 'All time'
These are the guys we rate as having had the best career fight cards that have played in the UK at some point.



Brian McGrattan
Wade Belak / Eric Cairns / Troy Crowder - Hard to pick between these three top quality NHL fighters
Bill Huard
Brent Myhres
Phil Crowe
Brett Clouthier
Chris McAllister

EIHL Best ten fighters 'All time'

These are the best 10 fighters to have played in the EIHL since it formed in 2003.



Brian McGrattan
Wade Belak / Eric Cairns
Brent Myhres
Brett Clouthier
Chris McAllister
Patrick Bordeleau
Paul Kruce
Mel Angelstad

EIHL Best ten fighters 'Pound for Pound'


These are the guys we rate as the 10 best fighters pound for pound to play in the EIHL.



Cam Janssen
Paul Ferone
Dody Wood
Eric Neilson
Zack Fitzgerald
Dennis Maxwell
Adam Keefe
Ryan Hand
Gerad Adams
Brad Cruikshank




There where many tough smaller guys previous to the EIHL forming who played in the UK. Tough guys like Rob Trumbley & Andy Bezeau both played before the EIHL formed but both would be high on the list of pound for pound fighters, probable top 5. Bezeau you could argue is up there with Ferone & Wood as the toughest guy pound for pound to play in the UK ever.


UK top ten 'Most entertaining fighters'

These are the guys we rate as the 10 most entertaining fighters to have play in the UK.

Great thread as ever mate.the only one I would disagree with is the best pound for pound fighters in the eihl.if we are including the likes of Campbell,didiometre and Harvey in their then i think Hand must be included too. Apart from that though I more or less agree with everything on that list.

Did not realise Hand was lighter than 215lbs. Yeah he goes on the list in the top 5
