    Yup! Asking the wife about a D-18 next, though have been slobbering lately over the Waterloo parlor guitar that's styled after the old Stellas. I think that one might be next actually.

    Didn't Frank Stokes play a Stella?

    Not sure, though a lot of those guys did. I'd imagine he did. Nice to see someone know the name of Frank Stokes!

    Mayweather wouldn't win a round vs Leonard, Robinson or Hearns.

    He apparently won the first round when he fought Sugar Ray Leonard, but that was about it.

    As you can see, I controversially didn't even give him that. Too much credit goes to that man, I swear to God.

    I haven't watched that fight in ages.

    As far as Floyd Mayweather Jr. goes, I was really impressed with him in the early days. But I have multi-year periods after 2004 where I didn't watch a fight.

    Ricardo Lopez was a fantastic technical puncher with patience. Few talk about him as a he was a straw weight and undercard fighter for PPV events. Some of his Ko's would make Mike Tyson nod his head. As hip as it gets?

    About as beginner level as it gets. Lopez was played out years ago.

    Undefeated, rangy puncher who should get more press than he does. Don't bring up his name to flea man, unless its hip to **** him off.

    Yeah, I think the more hipster opinion now is to **** on Lopez for his comp. I don't think it was particularly fantastic, and he deserves all of the crit he gets for not moving up, but he beat a few decent fighters in his time.

    If you want real hipster though, talk to @PhillyPhan69. He set you on the right path. ;)
