    Over the years, I've actually come to prefer the nickname "Tokyo" Douglas over "Buster" Douglas.

    But do you prefer it over Montreal Duran, 86-88 Tyson or Harold Brazier Bramble.

    Theoretically yes, but in practice you would get the Tokyo Douglas against one of them, and the unmotivated version against the others.
