"Let me know if your company is hiring"

so he picked a fight one day but I kept it professional and walked away. He is almost twice my age, I would have busted his nose and probably lose my job!

That's extreme. I've never met anyone on any of my teams who picked a fist fight.

That's what I thought as well but don't you believe in second chance and that people can change?

Absolutely! But your question was, should you endorse him? I wouldn't. If he changed for the better, then leave it to his more recent co-workers speak favorably of him. Leave it to his hiring manager to decide if a few years of good references is enough.

A few years ago, there was this employee who disliked me because of my talent and what I was paid (he knew the accountant) so he picked a fight one day but I kept it professional and walked away. He is almost twice my age, I would have busted his nose and probably lose my job!

After 2 years or so, he sent me a request on LinkedIn. I hesitated for a few days but ended up accepting his request. We don't talk but I think he knows what he did was wrong. I sometimes forgive others for their ignorance, hope it doesn't bite me in the rear.

Are people really getting into fist fights at work?

Them comments made me laugh. I hope your kidding about someone stepping on your sneakers. I usually don't argue with coworkers let alone get into a fight but if someone was to hurt me, I'll make sure I'm not the one that's on the ground.
