I'm merely offering my opinion and as such reveal my ideas, feelings, guesses about a topic based on my assessment of the facts. An opinion makes no claim to be incontravertable fact. If you want that go to the stat book. And anybody can offer an opinion. We don't have to be drug counselors, psychologists, personal trainers, if this were the case there's very little we'd be able to talk about here. I hope I've cleared this up. > >He came up with greatness in knocking out Gainer, and that's something >champions can do. > >Let's get one other thing straight while I'm here.

Comparing fighter X to fighter Y is a great way to talk about a fighter and even if it weren't where does it say you can't do it as you seem to think? You really do have some kind of straight-line method of thinking about fighters that you should keep to yourself. With all the alphabet sanctioning bodies and wacky judges the last thing we need is someone telling us how and why we can't talk about fighters in a certain way.
