The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of The Hockey World.... 

Long Live Bob Probert 🙏

Joe Louis Arena would blow up any time Probert was in a fight. You can still see his jersey worn by fans to this day anywhere inside Little Caesar's Arena. He is a legend. Thanks for the video, another great job.

A lot of people always tend to forget that not only could this man fight but he could be an offensive threat as well! His All-Star game appearance is a clear example. RIP to the Champ!

Bob was the big boy on the block in those days for sure. R.i.p. big man.

Tie Domi was a scrapper too though! For a little guy...

Yo we loved em in Detroit. We didnt have cable growin up but we had channel 9 cbc from windsor and got to see hockey night in canada. Loved Don Cherry. My dad would always say he was crazy.. but in a good way

will never forget my first redwings game on tv " boom , boom down goes mcguire!" -mickey redmond. cant watch probey highlights without tearing up, almost ugly cried watching this

The thing about Probert is that not only was he a strong enforcer, but he could actually play hockey. He was actually pretty good hockey player. He tallied 62pts in the 1987-1988 with 29 goals and 33 assists, and even made the All-Star Team. That was only his third NHL season so he was young. If he would have chosen to focus on his game as opposed to fighting, I think he could have been a great top 6 power forward averaging 25 to 45 goals a season and averaging 80 to 95 points a season easily. I dont think he would have ever broke the 100 points mark in a single season, but I think he would have had a couple of 90 point seasons for sure, which is still an excellent season, and he would have had several 80 point seasons, which is also still excellent. The dude had skills, he could shoot, he could pass, he saw the ice really well, he could forecheck and backcheck, and he could hit. He was not the fastest skater but he was still a fairly good skater. He was such a tragic character though.

Crush some beers on the bus, than crush some heads on the ice...and that was when he was in juniors still😳

Bob was the toughest of the tough. Spreading his ashes in the penalty box at Joe Louis Arena was such an all time classy move.

Imagine getting to heaven and seeing Bob and Gordie skating together. Rest easy boys…

I did see many of Bob's fights. I cheered him on in each of them. As I look back now, I wish he didn't fight so much. The guy had other talents. His hands were good enough to score goals. Had he been allowed to play more than just fight, who knows how many more goals he would have scored. And had he not fought as much, he might still be with us. RiP Bob. You deserve peace.

The documentary on him is really good.

Domi was not near the same league as Probert. The closest to him when he was in his prime(Detroit years) was Dave Brown.

Hated him as a Hawk fan , but when they acquired him I couldn't have been happier. RIP Bob

Never watched Hockey when I was young I’m 70 years old and never heard of this fellow . I really feel after taking this journey I missed out on a legend . He took his sport to heart and winning seemed to be his desire at all cost . To some people that will to win is a spirit that can’t be tamed . Rip Bob

I lived in Windsor in the early nineties - when Detroit was winning all the time. Probert was so popular in the Detroit/Windsor area. He was like a Rockstar. As soon as you walked into the Don Cherry’s Sports Bar they had a life sized cutout of Bob Probert by the front door. They also played nothing but fights on the bar’s tvs when it was closing time - most of the fights were Probert’s. Detroit was doing really well with their sports teams back then. The Red Wings won the cup and the Pistons won back to back championships as well.

The only reason Tie Dumi stood a chance against anyone was that he had a fricking watermellon rock for a head. That blockhead could take a punch. And boy did he ever. Probie absolutely hammered him over and over again. The only guy Dumi ever hurt was Ulf Samuellsson, when he sucker punched Ulfie. I hated Ulfie, but not as much as the block head. Loved seeing Probie tee off on him all the time.

I will never forget Bob .

RIP Bob Probert ❤ A real champion 🏒🏒🏒

Our nickname for him when we were growing up was The Probemonster. He was a monster. He could play the game, and he could throw bombs. He was awesome.

Just a great guy to watch in a Red Wing jersey! I wish he could have been with the redwings under Scotty Bowman especially the 97 season. He deserved those Stanley cup rings more so than most especially after what he gave to the redwing organization over his brilliant career .Rest in peace Bob, there will never be another Bob Probert in professional honey!!

He fought like no other. The way he could duck and slip a punch was unmatched

Remember seeing Bobby P getting of the bus in Toronto at Mapleleaf gardens must of been 96 ish when he got traded to the Blackhawks anyway I just remember his huge hands geeez must of sucked to fight him poor Domi lol

Missing you

As a Buffalo guy, I couldn’t stand Ty Domi back then (it was a rule to live here). Gotta give him credit though, he’d get right in there no matter how much bigger the guy was.

I have Bobs autobiography/book “Tough Guy” I highly recommend people read it. Super good.

Probert was king but so was cocaine during that era. It was a hand in glove arrangement and a totally different time in this country. Being wild and living in the fast lane was encouraged. Bob didn’t have it easy….a lot to overcome.

Damn fine video! RIP from a Penguin’s fan.

I have a picture of him and my son, It was taken 2 weeks before his passing. He was a great guy.

Probers wasn’t a thug the guy could play

I knew this one was gonna make me cry 😢

legend never forgotten

My idol. I tried to play exactly like him. RIP#24

Always #24 RIP

Bob Probert should be in the NHL HOF

Loved the old school game , as a Hawk fan we had many guys who could throw them !!!!

Dave(the hammer) Schultz

Damn, it's so true that you root for the laundry. Every time I root for Domi is when he's wearing the Ranger blue.

Always “hated” the guy. Especially when, as a lad, I would watch him (Detroit or Chicago) vs. The Blues. Many years since the time when I could actually watch games on LOCAL TV, I’ve learned to love the game as well as my team. I did ya’ wrong Proby…yer alright in my book.

Kosher?. Co sir.

It's so tragic that CTE disiengrates your brain like that. So many athletes die from it. if only the awareness for head trauma and concussions were as good as today, so many athletes could have been saved.

RIP Bob! ❤

Hes somewhere on the best line combination of all time

Sorry but I'm old, and grew up in Philly.. Dave Shultz was the most BMF in the NHL, ever ;) guys raced for the bench when he came on the ice..

Don't forget Behn Wilson. Fearless, brutally strong. Everybody lost a fight, but Wilson lost perhaps 2 or 3 his entire career. The one fight on youtube between Wilson and Probert was very short and a tie. They really didn't get going.

Poor guy played some pickup hockey in Leamington after he was retired. Sad to see he was so gone from the coke and CTE he didn't know where he was half the time.

It’s too bad he didn’t stick to playing the game. I believe he once scored thirty goals in a season. Fighting takes too great a toll on a man.

I seen my cousin Chris kick his ass in Junior

Met Bob at a bar in Edmonton. Skipped curfew. What i remember was the size of his hands! They were huge!

i partyd many a nite with Bob ,RIP Big Guy !!Definatly a Windsor Bad Boy!

Probie, he’s the man

went to the fights and a hockey game broke out....

Lord rest his soul, he was a true Detroit Red Wing!!

MATT REMPE LOST HIS FATHER WHEN HE WAS 14. HE LEFT FOR JUNIORS SOON AFTER.

How many times did they fight? 100?

Even as a young man Bob was a beast..

Mr take on all comers

All you hater’s out there your opinion means nothing about BP!! He was the greatest NHL fighter of all time PERIOD and if you think JK won those fights you were not watching the same ones I was!! BOB PROBERT THE BEST FIGHTER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NHL!!!!!!! RIP brother!!!!!’

good old days. now' ha you pulled my hair

Joey Kocur beat him in 2 if their 3 fights and Probie just held on to him in the other one

Joey "Kosher"... WTF?!?!

Died doing it

That is Love of the GAME

Doubled my testosterone levels just by watching this. Thank you ❤️

For the old timers out there - if Probert went against Orland Kurtenbach who would win? Discuss amongst yourselves.

He could play , what a shame that he’s only known as a fighter.

He was my star fighter on Sega genesis.

Wendel Clarke gets my vote.

Bob loved fighting scoring and cocaine

The jack hammer joe kosher.

We needed him and the hammer go at it...

Doug Gilmore!

pssst.. He's dead.

RIP big guy

this is why tkachuk is so special these days, a guy who can score and also fights is a long forgotten thing.. okay calm down.. i know tkachuk is nowhere near the fighter probert was. the game has changed and he is one of few alongside his brother who can score on the top line and also chuck em..

heavy drinker, heavy drug user, philandering husband, abusive to his wife, lousy father for years, despite a father who was a police officer enjoyed boxing with the police, several drunk/high car accidents could have killed innocent people but hey he could fight. What's not to like?

Him and Rob Ray are THE toughest guys ever to play in the NHL.....................................As long as their jerseys comes off.

Badass, yes. Undisputed, HARDLY!!!!

Kocur won every fight with Probert

Dave Brown was the heavyweight champ 1985 1986 into 1987. Probert was a co champ with Brown during the latter 1987- 1988 season. Probert then began to slide in the number of games played with only 25 during the 1988 - 1989 season . Probert fell off the radar during the 1989- 1990 season with only 4 NHL games played. Probert was the jail cell chump in a Minnesota state prison and served time in a halfway house. Brown was the toughest, most feared, and destructive fighter 1989 1990 with the Oilers Organization. Dave Brown was the true undisputed heavyweight champ 1985, too, January 9, 1991. Probert was undisputed champ January 9, 1991, too, April 2, 1994 until Sandy McCarthy beat him. Probert continued on as a top 10 ranked fighter up until the 2000 -2001 season. Probert's prime was perhaps the longest comparable with Donald Brashear.

hockey sucks

I'm glad hockey has evolved away from violence.

Probert lost that fight.

Sasha Lackoviic would have given him trouble.....
