I was laying in bed and I got this one and had to travel the flight of stairs to post it.

The Easton Assasin is the easy one. Then he was called The Superfly because of his leg drop on Trevor Berbick.

LOL, I think it was an early Jockstrap, and as it was considered back then, bad boxing etiquette not to show your opponent, that you are not carrying a weapon; ;) (bad choice of words), if you wore one, you did not wear shorts.

But, I may very well be wrong. ;D
