    Same way that mask takes away from Hopkins' legacy I suppose. Damn. Great fighter, but tried a bit too hard to be like Hagler, who even himself was a bit like that. But he wouldn't wear a gimp mask.

    Classic fighters were so much cooler. Look at Corbett in his thong - doesn't give a ****. They just got out there and fought... Even if they had a gimmick there was a degree of originality and genuine charisma, like Archie Moore's special robes and posters. Hopkins wore a gimp mask. Don't mean to **** on your avatar Greg, sorry.

    What hides the important losses?

    Lay off the B-HOP!

    The Executioner is bad-ass.

    Actually, that's a thread idea. Don't nick it. I'll make it tomorrow; 'coolest fighter.' I think Ike was pretty cool...

    -Because rating in the "top five" or "top three" in different categories regarding "record" ain't top dog.

    I got you.

    Is there any area you would rank SRR over Greb?
