    Lion of Fruit Flan(ders).

    I don't mean to boast or blow my own trumpet, just putting it out there that Banana Konadu is probably the pinnacle of human achievement.

    You are too kind, good sir, but the greatness of which you speak, is yours only to keep.

    If any rubs off unto me, by mere association, it will cause me great elation.

    Pete Laureate was a smooth operator. Just glided around the ring. Poetry in motion.

    And it was good to sea that Peet’s dsylexia didn’t hold his boxing career back one tib.

    Didn’t Ptee also win the Nobbly Peace Prize in Boxing, OR, was that Joe Bogner?
