More of a sucker punch than a fight, but proof of @David A. Rooney's "damage" point. Or Rudy Tomjanovich vs. Kermit Washington’s fist. More of a sucker punch than a fight, but proof of @David A.

Sad that there hasn't been a good NBA fight in years, maybe since Charles Barkley body slammed Shaquille O'Neal. The NBA used to produce some excellent fights; Akeem OLajuwon vs. half of the 1986 LA Lakers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar destroying Kent Benson, Dave Cowens body checking flopper Mike Newlin into the 3rd row of seats.

So, a lot of their fights look like slap fights. I'd take an NFL running back in a fight versus an NBA small forward any day. In boxing, reach is an advantage - but to a point. The only truly gangly (and successful) fighter I can think of is Tommy "Hit Man" Hearns - unless you want to include Jimmy Walker in that '70s movie, "Let's Do It Again."

Then again, the NBA has strict penalties for actual fist-fights. After all, these guys are really big, really strong and NOT padded or helmeted like the NFL, so they can cause SERIOUS damage to each other. Maybe the NBA guys were Metrosexuals?

The beginning I'm a bit vague on, but the "on site" for "on sight" was definite. I even rewound to verify that's what I saw.
