Mark Wahlberg to box Domi for charity

File this under a bad idea gone wrong.

I know they're friends, but Mark, what are you thinking?

Domi used to regularly destroy guys twice his size...while wearing skates.

All I can say is I hope your charity is the Red Cross...and watch out for the uppercut!

Wahlberg 'officially challenged' him. Said they should do it at the ACC. But yeah, may just be for kicks.

Best quote: "We're gonna have to open the double doors so your head can fit through," quipped Wahlberg, 41, in his native Boston accent.

Yeah, I think Wahlberg can handle himself.

Domi is a natural born killer, though. Tough as balls.

The question is: Would being in the ring instead of on the ice level the playing field?

I think Domi might find it easier in the ring than on skates.

As in "Wow this is easy. I'm going to just walk over there and bop this guy in the face."

Whether this happens or not is irrelevant. It's just fun to contemplate. Anything to lighten the lockout mood.

A buddy of mine lived in the same area as Domi, as teenagers.

He says guys always picked fights with Domi, because he was a local celebrity, before he joined the NHL.

Domi would always whip their a$$es in short order. I think he can handle himself off the ice...

I would think that for a lot of enforcers in the NHL it would get frustrating to constantly get challenged outside of the rink. Any bar you go to, there is always going to be some drunk dumb schmuck wanting to take you on. For guys like Domi, fighting was part of their profession. I would be frustrated if people asked me to do parts of my job when I was out trying to socialize.

That being said, I'd like to see that tilt. Both guys grew up fighting, but I think that neither of them really lives the lifestyle they used to.

Domi always reminded me of Nicky from Casino (1995). I know fighting on ice doesn't really translate to fighting off ice, but anyone who can hold his own against Probert (Probert throwing haymakers for 2+ minutes, no less) would be a scary person to fight on any surface.

Domi vs Rypien would be a fight for the ages.
