- Although this is drifting from the thread, I will elaborate; I was trying to say
- that if Franco was so awesome the way he was, imagine what he would be like if
- he were two-three times stronger. To give you an example of an expert fighter

- No argument here, in fact, that was my point. Let us mark this day that we
