        No.

        I hate how Larry never mentions names in these threads. He always just lists accomplishments with no context.

          Yes IMO.

          His resume is as good as anybody in history. 20 successful defences of a title, up there with any ATG.

                In terms of skill and accomplishments, yes. But far too often people let their feelings towards his "antics" get in the way of true assessment of what this man has truly done.
