    I can only imagine what it was like to be an opponent of his when that nickname came around. :lol:

    "What did you say they call him?"
    "The Ghost with the hammer in his hand."
    "...Great..."

    "The black uhlan of the rhine" - funny enough Schmeling wasn´t born and didn´t live anywhere near the rhine and I have no clue what an uhlan is.
