This reminds me of an old joke:
Jessie had this pit bull that he’d take to the dog fights. And ol’ Cubie would just tear up any other dog in the pit. Jessie was right fierce proud of that dog.
So one day he goes awalkin’ in the park and meets up with this fellow with a little low-squat ugly yellar dog on a leash. So Jessie sets his pit bull on this little yellow dog just to show off. And that little dog opens its mouth wide and just eats the pit bull up in one bite.
Dumbfounded, Jessie says “What the hell kind of dawg is that?”
The fellow says, “Well, before I cut his tail short and painted him yellow, he was an alligator”.
The way that I see it, this player is just like that alligator. A bit of selective cutting and you have a ringer, but it's strictly cosmetic.
