He was in a street gang, so you know he can fight. When he was in training camp he beast the shit out of a ton of guys including Strahan who said he was nuts.
Next I'd throw in Rich Seubert, Brandon Jacobs, Keith Hamilton and Mark Bavaro

I could be misremembering but I thought it was Strahan who beat up Maumalanga? Either way, you're right, that guy was crazy by all accounts.
Several weeks after Maumalanga knocked out Davis, there was another altercation with a teammate. In the locker room after a workout, Maumalanga began teasing fellow defensive lineman Michael Strahan. Strahan tried to be diplomatic but Maumalanga let the teasing escalate to physical threats. Then Maumalanga took a swing at Strahan. He missed. The 270-pound Strahan, who has done some boxing, punched Maumalanga in the face several times then practically threw him several feet before the fight was broken up.
so among recent guys:
Jacobs
Bradshaw
Hammer
Snacks
O'Hara
Bradshaw might be small but that guy had so much fight in him; remember the Super Bowl fumble recovery in 07!
I picked O'Hara over the rest of the 07/08 O-Line b/c I saw an interview where O'Hara said he always made sure he ran down the field whenever Eli scrambled so that he could protect Eli; I like that commitment.
To be clear, I don't know which Giants have MMA experience; a decent amount of MMA training will make you a much better fighter than like 99% of the population.
Also, JPP probably belongs on the list as the most athletic guy we've ever had on our team.
Finally, I should note that I've heard OLineman say Cullen Jenkins is the toughest player they've ever gone against, so he deserves some props.
LT (assuming he is coked up)
Jacobs
Shockey (assuming he isn't drunk and passed out)
Snee
Canty
I'd maybe put snacks in for Canty but you can't underestimate reach. As much as guys like Bradshaw were tough as nails or Toomer might be highly trained - pure size, aggression, and brute force can make up for some technical deficiencies.
Of course Jonas Seawright could kill a hundred people in a street fight so it's not fair to pick him.
Hammer - Mean
LT - Meaner
Bavaro - Meanest
Snee- at his playing weight, not the 225 wuss he is today.
Herschel Walker - If I remember, he is a black belt.

Anybody else recall that?
And Matt Mitrione - former UFC and current Bellator fighter - nickname "Meathead" and proud wearer of this:
He did kill that guy in a street fight when he was young so based on history this has to be the answer
Everytime I've seen gang bangers fight, they swing like girls...no wonder they resort to pulling the trigger.

Leonard Marshall

Phil Simms
Mark Bavaro
Keith Hamilton
Otis Anderson
Sam Garnes
Jim Burt

It would be hard to not say Bavaro due to Parcells' quote, "I'd hate to fight that son of a bitch"
