    I was a great fighter that might have been the best at my weight. Alas
    I am known for something other than my skills. Who am I ? My shrink
    won't tell me ....

    Dougie, it was an attempt at humor. When i asked the question, and saying as usual, "who am I "? I said kiddingly, "my shrink won't tell me".
    A joke that failed....Keep punching..b.b.
