yup! i was clueless and thought the subject was marlowe.
spenser is indeed a strong tough guy. i believe that in the
godwulf manuscript he answers a question about his flattened
nose by saying a ranked heavy- weight did it to him. even if
he got his nose flattened, i'd say climbing into the ring
would be pretty tough under those circumstances.
