X,,,,, PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ In 1998, X filed a lawsuit against Y, stating that
there were too many similarities between the two. In the lawsuit, X listed that they both attended UCLA and both wore the #33. He felt that Y was making profits and sponging off the name and number he made famous in the 1970s. He won a court order that required Y to drop the "X" name off his jersey. In addition, all Dolphins jerseys with the "X" name and #33 were immediately pulled from the shelves and merchandising catalogs. Y complied and had his name changed to simply 'Abdul'. Y maintains that he chose the #33 as his uniform number not because of X, but because of former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett. After the lawsuit, he changed his name in 2000.

ID X Traditionally, X was made from two specific
types of granite called "Blue Hone" and "Ailsa Craig Common Green", found on Ailsa Craig, an island off the Ayrshire coast in Scotland. Blue Hone has very low water absorption, which prevents the action of freezing and melting water from eroding the stone. Ailsa Craig Common Green granite is a lesser quality granite. The second location where granite comes from to manufacture X from is in Northern Wales. This granite is called "Trefor" and comes in shades of blue/gray and red/brown.

Brawler is a fighter who generally lacks fineness and footwork in the ring, but makes up for it through sheer punching power. Mainly Irish, Irish-American & Mexican-American boxers popularized this style who tend to lack mobility, preferring a less mobile, more stable platform and have difficulty pursuing fighters who are fast on their feet. They may also have a tendency to ignore combination punching in favour of continuous beat-downs with one hand and by throwing slower, more powerful single punches . This style of boxing was used by a popular fictional boxer. Who is he ?
