In all seriousness, on the topic of fighting, majority of fights you see a player grab the other one by the jersey collar in hope of holding them off so you can feed them... every time I’ve gotten in a scrap I’ve always grabbed, or attempted to, a hold of their bicep with my non dominant hand and fed them with my right. Generally guys are righties when it comes to chuckin knucks and grabbing their right arm with my left allows my dominant hand to run wild while their dominant is restricted. Try punching me back when I’m holding your dominant and instinctive arm. I’ve found tremendous success with it, being on the winning side of more fights than not, be it bar fights, random scraps and the odd tilt I’ve had in sports. Why is it that most guys grab the shirt collar?

My fighting career is not as distinguished as yours. The only fighting major I ever had in hockey was almost accidental. There was a guy from the other team running around - I saw him coming at me for the same time in the shift and threw up my elbow to protect myself sending him yard-saling across the ice. He got up, tossed his gloves and skated at me. I was rolling my eyes and waiting for the refs to step in, but instead heard them shout "Everyone stay back!" He grabbed a hold of me, I hit him, he went down, I fell on top of him and hit him one more time before the refs pulled me off. It cost me a fine and a two-game suspension, so not really worth it.
I did however win, so I figured I'd hang 'em up and retire with the belt intact. And I've declined every invite to fight since!
As for bar fights, I was challenged once at the Urban Lounge in Edmonton. Some guy tried to push past me to get to the bar and I held my spot...he spun me around and asked me to step outside, but he was like 6'6 (I'm 6'1) so I said no thank you. He asked why not and I said because I thought he'd probably win. It defused the situation and he later apologized. The only other one ever, some dude sucker headbutted me outside a Denny's. I did lose that one. Not sure if there was any way to win there though.
With hockey fights, I know Laraque's preference was to grab the front of the collar and the shoulder pads. He was so strong that he could pull the guy to him and shake him around if needed. That's how he held his own even against guys like Boogard - just pull them down to his level. I'm not sure that strategy would work for everyone though.
And then there's the Tkachuk strategy. Just grab the top of your own helmet and hang on for dear life!
