    To be fair it was only idiots like white bomber who likely would’ve picked Charlie zelenoff over Louis.

    The Heresies thread was pretty bad but I guess it encouraged people to write absurd things

    Was he tho? I'm a bit torn on this one. He was good at one range and struggled to find ways to win when not at his best. He also had only one gear - forward. Is the most skilled ever one dimensional? He was incredibly skilled within his style but most skilled ever? I don't know. The most skilled swarmer I'd say.
