There are times in history, and in the myths that mirror history on a larger-than-life scale, when great men, finding themselves on opposite sides of some epic struggle, come together in an inevitable clash of titans: Hector and Achilles; Wellington and Napoleon; Lee and Grant; Patton and Rommel; Kevin Jasper and Larry Jackson. You get the picture.
