    Ok who knows this one?

    My first I guess it could be said,
    Is associated with spelling,
    Or Miriam and Moses,
    In the old tales that they're telling,

    I never did the Abbott make,
    But still I am no liar,
    I was always considered greater than,
    The average humble friar,

    Five years I dominated all,
    My gimlet eyes classed prey,
    Till one young guy led me to fall,
    And at his feet I lay,

    You get bonus points for all the clues you spot...

    Nope...

    I have to admit on returning to it I struggled to remember who it was myself. Maybe went a little too cryptic!

    There are quite a few clues however and we are talking a very talented fighter

    Solve this

    Skinny legged super noodle
    Couldn't even squat a poodle
    Came out wearing lots of foam
    Almost broke his tender bones
    Loud, obnioxious and quite tall
    Ain't got any skill at all.
