1. I have one of the greatest records ever 2. I was a "thinking man's" fighter 3. A famous national symbol shares my nickname
No. I will give you more clues. Think of Dr Frankenstein and his assistant, Fritz, and what they had a problem with. And this fighter always toed the line.
That is right. National symbol=Big Ben Brain--references to the scarecrow and Dorothy and Frankenstein (remember Fritz dropping the "normal" brain). Great record--Brain was undefeated over a 17 year career. Excellent, Henry.
The types of clues that you offer are similar to those that you see in newspaper crosswords... My wife is really into those... I never get any of those clues.. My wife did ask me the answer to one once.. " lost to Holmes in 1980 " That was the only time I was able to help her...
