The Grandmaster monniker was a reference to his Chess playing... you musta heard the story about how he wondered into a sports center looking for chess opponents and instead discovered boxing? Not sure of the absolute truth of it but it makes a great story either way.
But yeah for sure an extremely talented, very cerebral fighter fighter, but it's worth remembering that whilst he never lost or even really came close he also didn't really face many quality opponents. Absolute shame that we didn't get to see how far his talents and idiosyncratic style could have taken him.
